Dying Fir

[Mark Bolam]

Top stuff Reg. You spelled 'Soak' wrong!

Is that a Paul Didier chester you're wearing?

If only we were all that chilled...nice backdrops - sounds and views

 

Did you climb to the top to put in your TIP before coming down to trim out the branches? If so, why

Thanks Reg

[Rich Rule]

I am sure Reg has his own reasons but how else do you get a camera at the top of the tree looking down without climbing it?

 

Also I personally find it easier and quicker spinning around the pole with a top anchor.

Thanks all.

 

The DBH was nothing, like 2 and a half feet tops.

 

The saw is a 200T. I have 3 now and am well happy about it.

 

Yes that's Pauls chest harness. Best, and safest hitch tending system Ive used of yet.

 

I stripped probably a third of the branches from the flipline, and was tempted to just carry on instead of messing with the camera....but we had plenty of time and I was confident the weather was going to stay calm. So, while I didn't need the SRT line, it is nice to have once you've taken a couple mins to set up. And, youre no longer carrying the weight of a wet rope thereafter its tied off....which would have been almost all of 150 length by the time I topped the tree out. The top was 18 ft or thereabouts.

Nice and slick as always reg , glad you put this up as I had my first big silver fir today , a split multi stemmed 40 m + to wind firm/monolith I guess and you looking that comfy on a dying one put me well at ease. 👍🏻

[Mark Bolam]

Aye that's firmed alright Matty!

Cool video. Probably the first time in a long time I have watched a tree vid from start to finish.

 

Not a fan of the T540XP anymore?

I looked at moving to BC about 14 years ago.

Learned about the annual rain fall.

I'm not tough enough.

Lol!
