Emergency Lime pollard

patience young master

 

that split ran for about 8ft....absolutely amazing the tree was standing....it was pretty fresh, i'd say no older than 8 weeks....we've had some pretty strong winds during that time too

 

 

Nice bracing. Who needs splices when you've got ratchets!

Should this thread not have been under the "Are some people thick or what thread Steve"

 

The neighbours new about it !!

[TheTreeWiseMen]

I would if someone dared me. Reckon Steve would if I dared him too:D

 

Alright then, I double dare ya......

[Mr Ed]

Outrageous! you felled it!

 

Surely a light reduction and a Cobra brace would have been the way to go:awink:

Nah. I would have topped it nicely:top:

[skyhuck]

but who on here would consider a climb dismantle on this one ?

 

I would,but i do very little rigging and would have cut and chucked everything,so no shock loading.

Anyone who knows me will know that im no fan of mewps, but i have to say, this one is one of the best ones i've used without a doubt. although i did get bored by 3, will finish the rest off from rope and harness on tuesday

[Mr Ed]

Nice work Steve. I reckon I would have prefered the Mewp to climbing that thing.
