Wtf? Let me stick a third saw into the same side of the tree. Actual insanity. That tree was a pretty good candidate for a Coos Bay cut.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Good stuff!

wow, hella job and very cool tree, nice they leave it living.

That guy has a very cool page

 

[SeanKroll]

A nice job. The top didn't look like it hinged to the face-cut direction much, on my small, magic human-rectangle.

This guy is good at teaching

Some barber chair theory too

Dude got pole vaulted off of the ladder! 🤣🤣🤣

 

[Burnham]

That was pretty impressive.

 

[davidwyby]

I think the tree won the jousting match

[Burnham]

Those are all scary. That last one...what the eff is that guy thinking, just standing there???

 

[CurSedVoyce]

That was my thinking B
Sure looked like he's a seasoned faller, should know better.

I've mentioned this before...Way back in the day, I was falling solo in CT, boss sent a guy out to work with me , I dropped a few trees, I noticed he didn't back away as they were falling to the lay, I (hope) I mentioned something re that isn't wise to stay by the stump, I got the feeling he thought it was manly to hang close to the stump, I dropped a huge tulip, it lost a good sized limb on it's way over, kid didn't see it coming, landed square across the back of his shoulders and flattened him, miraculously he wasn't seriously hurt, he walked outta the woods never to be seen again

A pic from an old thread...

Post in thread 'A day in the life...'

Dec 3, 2010

I wanted to make a special post for this one picture. When the snag pushed through the crowns of the adjacent trees, as expected a bunch of limbs broke off it and rained down. We'd all beat a retreat...and it's a good thing.

Look at the chunk of limb impaled in the ground, right where Brent was standing as he finished the cut.

That piece of wood could kill a man.

The stump is not a good place to stay after the tree commits.

Rut ro......

 

[Kaveman]

What a series of completely predictable events.

Also ladders are the spawn of the devil.

 

[cory]

Geez, almost didn't want to watch that after reading his OP.

Gnarsty

A job from London a few of my mates were involved in. Namely the climber. He used to work along side me when he was a beginner. Maybe I taught him a thing or two.

One of the largest tree jobs in London. A couple of years planning. Charles Darwin’s house or Charles Dickens can’t remember but there were Egyptian artifacts from some of the first pyramids that had to be relocated in humidity controlled rooms.

Only two trees but if you knew the hassles to get a busy London road closed, parking suspended, lifting over multi million pound properties. My mate said he hardly slept or ate for three days because of the stress.

A bit long but quite a good representation of central London tree work. Minus the 220t crane…. 😜

 

[cory]

Wow, Huge crane, interesting chipper.

Surprising dearth of climbing footage
