General Tree pics

Days like these make all those horrible jobs seem a world away:001_cool: Deadwooding riverside oaks, in the sun, by the beach, and a view to die for. We're leaving the fallen trees on the beach, I thought they looked cool anyway.

Very nice Andy.

 

 

 

Although as the Author of such a weighty thread, I feel that your 'measly' 80 posts out of a grand current total of 3379, is a rather poor showing, what?

 

One needs to get ones camera out a tad more

Agreed Mr. Humphries, I rather think that young Master Collins is trying to keep his ideallic coast and countryside to himself.......Say what!!

One tires of posting the same old stuff, cutting down this, thinning that, been there done that soooo many times. You really need a life, counting my pics:001_tongue:

What a job that looks, Absolutly stunning back drop, I can only dream of jobs like that these days, They'll never come around on the railway, I do miss private work sometimes!!

Ecological Monolith (read destruction manal)

 

Bat inspections made easy:

Required equipment,

1x Genie Boom

1x 575xp

 

Method:

Access trees with said Genie & 575xp

CAREFULLY cut off bits of timber and lower carefully to the ground.

Search thoroughly through resulting debris for any bats.

 

Result of survey = NO BATS

Great second shot Andy.

 

But I'm sure thats a pipistrelle showing classic evacuation technique, and flying off from the falling piece on the rhs

Some more from the last few days, the little house we were working for, some views from the Genie, and Matt doing some climbing. Some 55 Oaks deadwooded in the last 3 days, most accessed with the Genie, a few climbed where the crown was just too tight for the Genie. In the 1st pic noticed the carved tree stump in the grounds

too right T M,my mate is real old school.55yrs old.No spikes(mind you I grabbed the geckos fast,leaving only the Buck steels).One hand use. Single tie in.Im surprised he bothered with a rope,he free climbs very often.Prussic and both ends of rope.We have all the gear,but after 40yrs of doing this with zero lost time accidents I dont get critical of his ways. From now on though,out of respect for him I will only post pics of myself at work.

fair enough.we have an old guy at tree fellas,59 i think,still climbs the monster takedowns.never try and show him new tricks hes never had an injury in 30+yrs.highly amusing to work alongside.company bought him some geckos last wk but he reckons "i'll probably go back to my old ones after trying these things" good on him still flying the flag
