Tahune Revisited.

[Angus]

It was a post-mature Eucalyptus obliqua

Your observation is correct, at least in the Tasmanian Eucalyptus obliqua quite often there will be no branches for at least 100', similar to the Eucalyptus regnans of Victoria.

[David Humphries]

I sure can

 

Hello Angus thanks for coming on and sharing these awesome shots

 

Hope you dont mind me asking, but @ 3.55 in the vid, it seems you hauled up the stihl manualy, on your lonesome.

Was there no pulley/ground crew assistance, as it appears.

 

Question from an ageing unfit climber; If so, were you not disadvantagely knacked after that?

Shoot, I'd rather pull it up myself than have to pack/rig a pulley and another rope.

[Patchwork]

do you know what the total height of the tree was befor it died? and the height of the pole you dismantled?

[Angus]

As groundie, its important to keep the climber busy pulling ropes, so I like to get...

 

haha no seriously, MB summed it up precisely.

It would be more work to set the pully, or deal with having the rope being pulled over your flipline, than to just haul it off the Airwalk... I think.
