Good of Gerry to post the vid.

 

'High Climbers and Timber Fallers' is the best big timber book ever written, especially the chapter 'Rockport' where, as said earlier, he fells a 150' top out of a 300' Redwood. The pics of him one-handing an 090 with a 7-foot bar have to be seen to be believed.

 

These vids where things go a bit pear-shaped can be just as educational as the ones that are faultless IMO.
