Poplar removal

[Sideleaner]

Hi, just a few pics of me removing a big poplar. Diameter on the stump 1.1 m. It could not be felled in one piece because it would have fallen in a Willow in the garden. Took it down in about 4 hours, and an additional 2 hours sawing logs.

Could leave all the wood there, the owner will split and chip everything. :confused1:He also made the pics.

After the biggest logs were sawed, the owner and his neighbour digged it out.

Showing off their skills !!!

Nice pics sideleaner, could you explain what i'm looking at in picture 2 like what do you use the wolf pole for setting lines? The 2 lines, they climbing lines if so what system you using?

[Sideleaner]

Marc, I use the wolf pole with a hook to attach the rigging rope to the end of the branches. I had to rig down small pieces on one side of the tree, because there was a gardenhouse of the neighbours underneath.

I use a hithclimber on the high tie-in point and a second rope with a simple prussic to go out far on the branches.

The other thing you see next to the pole (picture taken against the light ) is my drinking bottle, I like Aquarius !

Thanks Pascal

I need to get my self one of the wolf poles some day nice and light and cheap in comparisson to Silky stuff it would make some rigging situation a little easier, also like the look of the telescopic pole Sherrills sells just never heard of someone using them.
