Very enjoyable video Reg. liked how you sent all the sticks down flat. Did you use a humbolt or an undermining cut to get them to fall like that?

A step cut Timon. And as the log starts to tip over, push hard to get the bottom off the stump to stop it rotating

Quality as always ,How many branches will you prep up for the speed line reg before you start cutting looks like you had the whole tree slung ! and how many battery’s will a tree that size use on the husky ?
Cheers

10 slings at a time, leaving the highest, no 11 attached to stop the rope drifting out. 11 then becomes no1 of the next set. As Im re-setting Dave chips whats down.

Great work indeed. 

 

What boots are you using?

 

Did you have the whole tree prepared with the speed line before you got going fully or did you do it bit by bit?

Some boots I got over here. Made from ballistic nylon. Super light. Great boots. Dakota is the brand. I answered your second question to Matty F

Nice one Reg. would like to see a demo of you do that, as I’m always concerned about getting the bar caught in the kerf when it starts to tip.
How big a diameter can you go with that method?

It depends on how heavy the wood is. It can be hard to break the step cut the wider they are. The logs in the vid were 8-10ft or thereabouts. Which is ok, so long as theres no lean to them. Conifers ideally. If you go that big on anything with a slight lean theyll break and fall before you are ready. Try. 5 footer and get the feel if it.

Cheers for posting these videos dude, they are great to watch. You clearly put (almost) as much thought into your camera angles and editing as the tree work. Very informative. 

 

You lost me at the breakfast nonsense though. Don't you know it's one of the three most important meals of the day?
