Corsican pine for a change.

How did it chip? I always find the bigger needled stuff a bit of a pain, but it seemed to disappear quickly enough!

 

BTW did you charge extra for the Holly?

 

Holly was done free of charge of course!

 

I've didn't get a chance to do any chipping! Shame!! But it seemed to go through all right! Very dusty though, I'll have to clean the truck again this year!

Was that the one with Rupert, Rupert?!!!!!

[Beezy]

Oh I know the one, lying down holly, that's the Ilex aquifolium 'horizontalis' isn't it?

Great pics Rupe, looks like a decent size too.

Good stuff, Like the pic showing the secondary anchor.

I've finally cobboled some video. Not very good though, still learning!! Again I had battery problems, so there is the initial set up, a couple of test branches to test the dropezone, then loads missed out. Then I missed all of the removal of the big limb, and then got new batteries and got the removal of the rest of the top but thats all!!

Yes. Timba!! He keeps well out of the way, usually in the truck or car. But he knows when I'm on final ascent, even with chipper running and if he can't see me! Imn secure places I leave the car door open and he comes running out everytime.

is there a reason why you tie of your cow hitch further down the stem with half hitches? does it distrubute the loading placed on your rigging TIP.
