Beech take down 2010

[Rupe]

And in the background are three more big Beech from the same row.

 

It is of course a shame they are coming down, not my decision or recomendation of course.

Ok. After that last video, the batteries ran out but I got a bit more clearign done that day. I've edited this a bit quicker cos it might get too boring. Here we are just continuing to rig into the space created at the back of the tree and as that space get bigger we are moving round to the front where we started.

 

Notice the low branch left in position to "catch" the swinging branches. It works quite well and helps flick the brash the right way so it lands facing the chipper. Thats groundie skills! It doens't always work but generally does, he makes it look easy while I'm faffing around gettign my saw stuck etc!

 

We will be back to it tomorrow if the weather is ok.

Only two so far. The big one behind the one we are on now is having a survey soon so we'll see?

[Hodge]

cheeky question, how much did you charge?.

[Rupe]

Not finished it yet, and don't think I want to discuss that anyway.

 

Interestingly though, I was not the cheapest. And I was not the cheapest for the other two beech take downs i've posted on here either.

Nice videos Rupe, nice big tree too.

nice work and great vids Rupe !!!

 

Quick question if I may? In the last vid you are balancing out a lump of timber but I couldn't quite see the setup. Did you tie a running bowline at the tip then you passed a girth hitched sling through a metal ring but then its off cam.

 

can you explain pls..?

 

cheers and hope the snow allows you to get on with it soon.

Yes, something I'm experimenting with from an idea formed during the rigging hub thread. I made a little vid of it, I'll post it seperatly.
