Hazard Tree take downs

Lovely work Reg. I do quite like the euphoric soundtrack you put with that last one sounds like something from the film sunshine.

Great work Reg.

 

I bet you slept well after working in those woods.

[Mark Bolam]

More pant-staining stuff Reg.

That split top looked particularly nasty.

 

Why were the trees in such a state? Just age?

 

Loved the way you didn't rub it in about your mate's stumble at all!

[Darrin Turnbull]

Pretty amazing how you get them dead tops to go over.

Is this your most dangerous job yet.

you spoil us with your brilliant videos .

 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just age and characteristics I think mate.

I never sleep good to be honest Rich. Climbing up hills all day with your gear is a bit if a shock to the lungs at first....but after a few days you start being able to suck in bigger breaths and the legs get stronger. Great place to work. Great drive in through the mountains and views every day

Its dangerous work because the state of the trees obviously....like dead, rotten, hollow, split, leaning etc. Often hard to read which way they're weighted because we're on a slope. Often hard to make your cuts into any sort of reliable hingwood that aligns with where you want to aim the tree. Sometimes they start to sink and trap your saw just trying to cut the face. Sometimes instead of tipping the tree, the wedges just start splitting the already knackered wood apart....not a good feeling. Barberchairs and widowmakers never far from your mind. Have to spend quite a bit of time cutting and prepping escape routes....and even then they still inadequate. A major worry too was the HV lines down on the road, and the risk of a tree cartwheeling down hill and right through them. Aside from the danger of electrocution of the construction workers down below, it wouldve put 2 towns out of electricity, and we would've been thrown off the job facing massive fines. So, a few heartstopping moments came and passed throughout.

As if it wasn’t difficult enough!

Reg , did you have to clear up any on the road below  ? . One of those looked to be tumbling close .
