Hi Reg, I take it you are a contract climber and cutter still, nice of you to take the time and show those guys and great to see your enthusiasm still.

What do they serve at break? Do you miss tea and biscuits?

 

Thanks Reg, nice one!

 

Yes Paul nothing has changed, just a different place.

 

Very rare a homeowner would even consider putting the kettle on out here....I'm used to it now but I still think its slack.

 

Dont blame you at all for having the volume down Ben, heaven knows you've had your share of my voice in person.

 

thanks again

Edit: the description on youtube.

 

Latter stages of a poplar removal. We had a busy day rigging out the top and were left with quite a chunky lower part with a heavy back lean. Having to take it down to such an extent before we could fall it meant left us short on leverage which meant a strong and careful pull was required. Pulling directly with the truck in 4x4 was very tempting, especially when the finish line is in site at the end of a big day....but by using the portable winch meant that I could calculate and limit the force on the rigging, and so stay within the working load limit, which I knew beforehand would be a close run thing.
