Ash tree removal

[High Scale]

Well, I am exhausted just watching the videos, I have never seen the floating pulley for rope retrieval and will store than one in my tiny brain for later use, also the way you were blocking the stem down I have never seen, cutting 3/4 through and then down from the top, saves making that awkward second cut and gives the rope something to run against, different and informative, thanks Reg, you earned your money on that removal.

Quality stuff Reg.

 

Great teamwork....bet that was even more awkward than it looked.

[Mr Ed]

So Laz's extreme rigging works - I am proved wrong:D

Really slick work reg, especially the use of the step as a rigging point. Reckon you could have done with a spliced eye on the rigging line, that bowline catching looked to be the only snag in a very smooth operation.

 

Myself, I would have been tempted to dynamite that tree and sweep up the cloud of splinters afterwards:001_smile:

Reg, a very good video! I think if you comentated and explained your methods as you go along your videos could become an excellent training vid!

 

Never thought of using ancor bolts

 

Well done.

Reg,

 

thanks for filming the removal. Excellent job by you and the rest of the crew. The floating anchor point for easy retrieval is an excellent idea.

 

The adaptation of Paolo Bavaresco's 'extreme rigging' ideas with the lag hooks worked very well. It also reminded me of some Gerald Beranek's techniques in 'Fundamentals of General Treework'. Good to see the Block Driver in use.

Brilliant stuff Reg - thanks for sharing and informing.

Ditto both those points.

 

Nice to see something new and someone else's approach.

 

Excellent piece of work Reg.

All things considered..I thought that was pretty good and kinda brave of you to post it ...Theres a lesson in there about how to spread the energy involved in complex rigigng' blah blah,,,nice one RCO.

I'd be more concerned with the profanity spewing forth @ 3.58 on the last vid.

You really need to think more of your audience next time and raise the volume a few notches.

I could barely hear you.

LOL, we've all journeyed to that point before.

 

I just picked up on another in the 2nd vid also, sincere appologies, no offence meant.

 

When I edited the video I did it in the front room in front of the TV. I had the sound turned right down so not to annoy everyone else in the room....slipped under the radar I'm afraid:closedeyes:
