lagoon rd zipline

[RC0]

We took out 3 big Grand firs on this job and 3 smaller ones. Some headcam up 2 of the big ones, the majority of brush was ziplined, along with lots of messy deadwood which was cut and thrown. The very low stuff below and just above the powerlines was a little tricky....beyond that was straight forward enough. Biggest worry is always the wind....got away with it this time. I had about 7 slings at a time, should have been more really. We had such a steep line angle towards the end that the branches were almost free-falling. Sorry its been a while. Thanks

 

Turn youtube setting to HD

 

 

Edit: Volume seems a little low. Might have to turn it up a little

Fine vid Reg.

 

Can't believe it took over 30 seconds for you to get the tea' once you hit the ground

 

What kind of distance do you think was between the dropped sections and the climber below you in the first part of the vid ?

 

Must of been fun seeing them come hurtling past

As Always Reg...great video and perfect Sunday morning viewing accompanied by a chilled soundtrack...like the descent to Hot drink and the fly on the wall conversation....brilliant...and the final felled trunk at Dark....Great view of the Lake/Coast in the distance.....were you using a 201?

Very impressed with the first top getting knocked out, great watching as always:thumbup1:

 

I can pretty much smell the wet sleeves of your shirt and hands though:laugh1:

Excellent work Reg. Zipline worked really well. Made that job look easy but I suspect it was anything but easy.

[Brushcutter]

That was great. How high was that tree? 100'+?

Made it look easy. Far too much time between hitting the ground and getting the tea though.
