A friend of mine has done helicopter winching when doing some platation work. He sells christmas trees every year and has previously had to extract them himself. He said he could do in two hours what would have taken 2 weeks previously. Provided you prepare your lift site well enough he says its a doddle.

if its big stuff you need lifting then timing will be critical, as most heavy lift helicopters head south in early summer for the fire season around southern/south east Europe

 

Ericsson air crane (USA) who now make the S-64 Air-Crane, they also have some in the EU most of the year - its also Ericsson who do logging etc - you are bound to have seen there S-64's in orange with a big numbers on the side & there distinctive shape on news footage of forest firs around the EU ;)
