Fab video  😊 Its in the US Forest services manuals, think only bother is yr weather conditions and handling the balloon on the ground as leaky balloons expensive on helium. K

@Roughhewn cable logging is complex to set up anyways,  lot of good reasons to use balloons  ( wetland /rivers etc) but its where the timber ends up and at what price  😕  K

I reckon it's the answer to all @BigJ s problems with mud. He should definitely get one.

I looked into using an airship for arb work a few years ago. Not straightforward legally and the gas costs are frightening. Hot air better but still not easy. I’ve not totally written it off yet but the setup of tethers, launching etc is a lot of pissing about so you need to be on a big job. If it was quicker, you could do loads of little lifts dropping hot tubs and bags of aggregate into back gardens.

The air will probably be too damp or something
