Mulching a path through head high gorse

A few bits from today. 2 dead trees to come out and grind and a limb on the turkey oak had sheared down its limb so we removed that too. Then off for a willow call out and finally finished off those conifers!!!!!!

 

So a quick reminder of what it's started like.

 

And now.

Did you do a little dance at the end of the conny bashing job.

Had this beauty to remove today in the pouring rain, deceptively tall and court me out, 21m platform and at full stick still had a good chunk above me so had to climb it.

Nice pics John, looked like fun.

 

Where'd you get the double beast sling from? Couldn't find it on treestuff. Mind me asking how much it cost?

[Gray git]

Made it up myself, just got two beasts and spliced them onto that tennex, if I tie on a smaller ring with a Blakes it can be remote installed and retrieve through a crotch as long as it's quite an open 1 that is, quick to set in a choke like in the picture or just over a limb, really like the Rings as lighter than big blocks but still use my large DMM for big dynamic loads.

I hope your splice is ok.

Nice one, what dia. Tenex is it? Did you manage a locking brummel both ends, or one locking and one non locking?

 

I hope your splice is ok.

16mm tenex.

Locking brummel like described in 1st section of that description then the other end done like in this video so a locking at both ends. 2nd end was a bit harder to do but got it OK and looks neet enough
