tree felling vids

[slack ma girdle]

Nice wee vid steve. Looks like a lovely site mate. Was it for a pipeline did you say?

I am back on a job i did a month on last year clearing out non oaks from ancient woodland near falmouth for a month starting next week- your vid means i cant wait to get back to straight felling. Nice.

 

Which wood Tommer?

I used to work for the Cornwall wildlife trust, and spent quite alot of time clearing beech from Devichoice (wrong spelling, and i can not remember how it is spelt) woods

Nice wee vids Stevie, thanks for taking the time

 

Any agaricy type fung knocking about under foot?

 

d'ya reckon that might of been big Andy C on his quad & trailer @ 07:00 min 2nd vid, sneaking off in the back ground after spying on ya to see how it's properly done?

 

Not sure what to say about "tripod in the wood", reckon ya may need to go to a different forum for that type of advise. Maybe bigboysdowood.com

 

Oh yeah, if you do get a decent head cam, & we get a bit more clarity, ya might wanna change that petzl for a felling lid

some great vids there stevie well explained good job indeed can't beat a straight felling job and aye understood every word you said ....lol.

done two days felling out a shelter belt preping for re-planting last week and it never stopped raining never mind tho,we got to fell at waist hieght and saved our backs for the rest of the week woo hoo.

iv'e got a short vid of a pop fell on the same site it was about 70ft and a heavy leaner will post it up when a get time, me also thinks a helmet cam will be a buy in the very near future:biggrin:

hi stevie, great vids. sounds like you could do with a gorillapod, compact and robust!

i have seen the goila pod before, but i dont think it will fit a camera phone.

Monkeyd, i didnt think there was a problem with a petzl lid for felling, surely it cant only be for climbing?

 

i have another vid but its 12 mins long and utube wont take it, and i dont know how to shorten it, any tips?

yep cost a bit in new springs but worth it i think, ps drove over our best and newest 026 with the fendt the other day, fendt 1 / 026 nil , although a good impresion of saw in soil, to upset to take a photo!!

[Stephen Blair]

youch!!!!who left it lying around, or was it your own fault:001_huh:

Stevie, I'm only joshin' with ya.

 

But my sarcasm is around the lack of visor/peak on the petzl compared with the "sun peak" on the likes of the pro Husqvarna ground type lid.

 

My impression is that these extended peaks are not just for glare protection but also act as a further defence from verticle kick back.

 

I may not be entirely right on the last point though, so if wrong, except my heartfelt deepest appologies

i am always keen to learn the rules dave:thumbup1:i would rather as much visability as posibble all the time, a front peak annoys me, and you dont know if anything is coming your way until it hits you:thumbdown:
