use winch to pull tree away from water instead

 

So i'll explain the reason for felling into the river.

 

Its easier to butt tie and fell into an open space with the lean, id either have to mess around with the throwline or spike a bank edge tree to top tie. Also if the tree failed (0.01% chance) then im going into the river with heavy gear on and attached to said tree.

 

Finally, its easier to winch between then drag a crown through other tree crowns. :001_tongue:

What is the point of the job Ian?looks a horribly site!

 

Its a bit weird Adam, we've got to clear the navigation risk trees (ones that have a higher likelihood of root failure) As the barge is working against the riverbank. In 3 weeks were back in to fell the remainder edge trees to a coppice.

 

Its mainly being done because were clear felling certain compartments to allow them to regenerate as reed so the edge trees are 30-35ft high, skinny with a bushy crown so the risk of windthrow is really high.

 

Hope that makes it clearer, i thought id share it rather than put up "another headcam vid" :001_rolleyes:
