I really like it!!

 

While your practicing editing, I'm still practicing sarcasm! Good video, nice editing. The music is more dramatic than the work but to a customer the work will be the dramatic part and the music will sound fine I'm sure.

 

Good stuff all round.

 

 

One work question. Is the skylining bit the same tree as the hollow is in?

 

NO WAY man! Never would put a speedline on a compromised tree. Did that hollow Tulip Tree with the k-boom crane (was going to rope rig it out, then found the hollow on the way up, so changed plans).

 

I'm so glad you approved of my music in the end after some thought. :321:

Thought not, but it moves from one scenario straight to another so it looked like it could be the same tree.

 

I neither approved or dissaproved of the music, I just gave my opinion. No need for the finger!!

yes, chipper winch used to tighten that particular speedline.

 

Groundman has to be very dependable and follow hand signs well, or ....

 

Also, i set it up, so they can't keep on winching, such as you saw it get to the end of the winch cable when line is fairly tight.

Great video! Like the Bandit and did you climb the tree with the huge split?

 

Tree with the split. yes, 60 mph gusts split it that day, still had 35-40 mph gusts when we arrived.

 

I set climb line in a tree next to it.

 

didn't know tree was bad like that till we arrived and was a good drive to get there, didn't have our big rachet straps like we do now a days. so used what we had, the hobbs LD and a tenex sling.

 

After tying into nearby tree, then climbed up the cracked tree and prepared to bail if I had too. stripped it out fast without lowering anything. tree was tall enough to hit house if it broke near it's base.

 

thanks,
