Just a short vid of a tree we had to take down this week. Had to be lowered due to obstacles on the deck that couldn't been seen from up the top. Hope you enjoy.

Great vid Wayne, that was well up there! I would have had a bit of disco-leg for sure!

 

Normally I hate pegs, but I start leaving them like that when the top skinnys out.

 

Nice views from up there, lovely area.

Thanks Mark. Always good to get up some tall poles!! Tried to make it a bit educational as well for the folks who may stumble across it on yutube. Been wondering what the best music soundtrack to a tree surgery vid could be???

[Mark Bolam]

I've always fancied putting a decent vid to Keane's 'Somewhere only we know'.

 

'I came across

a fallen tree

I felt the branches of it looking at me.....'

 

Tune.

[welwell]

Indeed you are right. Always try to drunkenly sing along to that. Always sounds appalling !

Nice video, stick it on your website the instructional parts would be re-assuring to customers.

 

BTW if you use a cow hitch for your pulley on the thinner stuff it uses more rope meaning less tail to try and get rid of.

[welwell]

Thanks for the advice. I'm just so used to the timber hitch Will try cow next time.

Have you seen that quick-tie trick for the TH where you put the twists in first?

 

I'll have a look for it.

Nice vid. Looked like a nice day for it too.

 

What tune was that in the vid mate? Sounded like a nice bit of chill out.

Thanks, it was a great day to be there. The music is by Nightmares on Wax and the track is called "Calling"
