Stunt fell pics

Step cut, snap, put on shoulder, carry out, chip.

Judging by the size of that branch you did well to fit it in there, did you do one of those special folding falls ?

i did think i might have to rig it down a separate line tensioned by the skidsteer, but poor access like you wouldn't believe and the helicopter was on a callout, i did the brave thing and dropped the beast in a one'er..

I can't believe you had the tenacity to drop a tree of that magnitude so close to a greenhouse. What sort of felling cut did you use? Did it make a crash or a bang? Did you film it so you can explain how to do it to inexperienced folk?

 

 

Ed you are a legend. How much did you charge for that birch?

firstly Ed would like to thank you for taking the time to comment on his pics of expert tree felling, please do not try these advanced felling techniques without the correct training, ed was going to use a bore and remote release but this was found to be impracticable do to not having a dremmel on site, instead a suitably qualified expendable groundy sat on the fence to give the stem a help in its intended path with his boot, it landed with a slow whippy thwack and yes my balls are huge..
