Great Vid!

[Highland Forestry]

I imagine some of you have seen this before, but for those that havent - here's a really amazing vid.

 

I have found the video really inspirational, and Graeme McMahon - you're a legend dude!

 

The Chemical Bros backing track is fantastic too - nice chilled out tune.

 

I couldnt work out how to embed a video in the post (perhaps someone can help me with that)

 

But here's the link:

Ahh, thought it would have made it's way onto here in the past, especially seeings as theres a nice link to Arbtalk on Graeme's website.

 

As far as I'm concerned, this guy is THE MAN.

 

I was thinking about this vid a few weeks ago, I was standing right in the top of a Grandis (sp?) Fir and I estimated I was about 100ft or just slightly more, and I felt really good, doing a hard and skilled job, but that's still peanuts compared to graemes 200ft job!!

 

I would love the chance to go out any work with this guy...

Graeme - consider this an application for work!

Hi Matt

 

Grand fir Abies grandis

 

Fastest growing fir in uk [from n.America] you'll get some pretty tall ones about, timber is pretty poor but a nice looking specimen tree

You'll see them in Boat wood along from the Yard , it's the regen under the pine.

If you rub the needles they smell like tangerine peel, remember simon had one as a X-Mas tree , when he brought it into the heat it smelt like cat piss:scared1:
