Large oak no-rig.

[Taylor L. Hamel]

Here's a short one from last year.

Tree died from oak wilt. I just needed to minimize damage to small, understory trees. First big limb was waaaaaaay out there so I needed to kneel down. On the right side of the tree, you can see I'm using the "Add In Prusik" method to create two attachment points at the locations where I'm positioned. A quick and simple way to give yourself extra protection from a giant pendulum smash into the trunk!

 

Anyway, would have been nice to get the whole tree, but someone repositioned the camera and also the battery died about an hour into it. Took about two hours to get the tree on the ground.

 

Thanks for watching!
