Beech Removal-Traverse

[Dionysus]

i just think of a pencil dean, if you try and break it sideways its easy, but if you push against the cells of the wood lengthways, its impossible!

Thanks, there was quite some work in that tree….obviously I had to leave out lots to keep the video short.

 

Tim it was too risky to have both lines above the block at the end because of the lean.

 

Peter you make a valid point, but we all juggle safety-margin v ergonomics/efficiency on a daily basis in this job whether simple free-falling or rigging….a person can only rely on his own experience and intuition in deciding where to draw the line. I was happy with the set-up for that particular tree and relatively light loads involved….and am also a great believer in putting as much line in a system as possible, for dampening purposes obviously.

 

Now both lines obviously needed to be tensioned and released at various times; Not only when they were being initially loaded and then untied thereafter, but consider also when I had to drag the sling’s to different parts of the tree. Much easier to liaise with the guy on the LD that have to shout and signal at the blokes down by the chipper also.

 

The 338 is alright, I mean, I thought it’d have a little more guts but it doesn’t. No other problems though.

 

Mozza the Dakotas gone dude!

Thats right, although Ive already dented the front bumper:thumbdown: at a roudabout. The Dakota had 2 seats in the front and supposedly 3 in the back, but the back ones were like tiny, like child size. Ria (my daughter) used to hate it in there, so much so that long journeys were a nightmare once she started playing up. The Ram is a 3 seater bench though, so she sits right in the middle between me and the wife....she's much happier there.
