Tree felling vids

I think what you(and me) are seeing as a hinge isn't anything. It's just some ragged wood casting shadows. I think the real hinge is 90° from the apparent hinge. Mick said the white thing is a jack handle. I'll have to take his word for it, but if you squint, it does kind of look like there's a pocket there for a jack.

If you go back to page 321 where I posted it in 2021, it has 2 ‘pages’ (swipe left) second one shows the fell from behind, the jack, the intended lay and all that.

Yeah looks like he cut the hinge off or too thin

 

[Mick!]

It’s a bad one, but from what I watched this wasn’t their first rodeo, not amateurs.

 

[cory]

krazy!

Yet more proof that ladders and tree work don't mix.

And don't gimmie any crap about orchard ladders, they're sketch too.

In fairness, it's probably just a me thing, despite all the time I've spent on ladders, they make me nervous as a cat in a rocking chair factory.

I hate ladders. I don't like using them for anything. My last time on a ladder(doing my wtf tree), I'm not sure which I liked least; cutting down through the top, and trying to miss my flipline, or up on a ladder backchaining with my 661. I felt more secure on spurs, but had the possibility of screwing up my flipline. The other option was getting throw off the ladder with a spinning 661.

If only the termites hadn’t eaten that section of roof it would have been fine lol.

heres a few of my own

the poplar was a video sent in by a customer, first contract climbing gig, got told the yard didn't matter and we weren't in charge of moving debris so we just buried the yard and left

sorry for low quality, the bradford was the only video I recorded myself and I'm downloading all these off facebook instead of looking through 2 years worth of videos on my phone lol, going to work on getting better video as time goes on

some more from my youtube:



(ignore the yahoo's yelling timber, they got excited lol)


(this is the poplar from my last post)


(my "noodle" oak top sent over a deck railing, including lots of nervous saw revving, yes thats the fence you hear being wrecked, I made the decision to cut lower and hit the fence vs risk cutting a smaller top, in smaller wood, with a nearly horizontal tie in to the tree behind me, if it makes anyone feel better, I did apologize to the homeowner right before I put the face cut in)

 

[cory]

hella cut

 

[WoodCutr]

hella cut

which cut?

 

[cory]

the one that missed the railing by .5 inch

 

[WoodCutr]

the one that missed the railing by .5 inch

oh yeah that one, had me puckered up, some may say skill, but that was at least 75% luck

 

[cory]

70% skill 30% luck

 

[lxskllr]

Keep getting lucky shots, it might turn out you aren't all that lucky, and the wood's going where you want it to.

 

[davidwyby]

Don’t look, @Burnham

couldn't be, I'm not that good lol

might actually be true, but I doubt it, much as I try it sure feels like the trees don't like me

Those spindly bastards are a tricky calculation, how high to go?

A fence? Meh, easily repairable.

exactly my thoughts, a fence is easier to repair than me, and I wasn't gonna risk hanging out on it or climbing back down to help remove the fence, it was already dead and wobbly, didn't inspire confidence

Couple few times I removed one section and put work down in the gap , Stockade Cedar and Split Rail Locust
