Get some pics Steve and helmet cam the whole thing, I wanna see this 60 minute awkward as hell 2ft dbh 75ft removal

I use the double whip style tie off to eliminate fall over a great horizontal distance. Very handy.

In most cases the section is PULLED in or up to the loop.

Softy, wtf are you going on about mate? double whip style tie off?!

 

gotta see this.....pics please, or a badly drawn diagram will do

getting any machinery in is out of the question tim.

 

the tree i would say is about 2ft dbh but goes up probably 75ft. it forks at about 40ft and goes off at some very awkward angles.

 

theres no time limit on this one, it takes as long as it takes. to be fair, once a plan is in action i cant see the job taking longer than an hour regardless.

 

OMG!

 

It will be down before youve thought "I think Mesterh's idea was the best"

 

I hope you dont charge by the hour:001_huh:

Divers use a quick release buckle on their weight-belts incase they have to ditch it in a hurry. I've seen some very neat versions of these - just pull the latch away from lying flat against the body and it releases under load.

Wrap your legs round it and forget the lanyard, have your back to the direction of fell so if it goes Peat Tong you are facing where you are going.

 

But it won't, you will monkey up it, get it on the deck with 4 cuts and go home a hero

great advice, thats the most poetic thing you've ever posted Stevie, very nice indeed. Will definitely remember that for the future
