Another Langford Fir

[RC0]

Same property as the last bunch of photos I posted from Langford. Another long day, didn’t leave the site until 8....although to be fair, for last 30 mins we were just sat around with the home-owners.

 

This one had some of its top blow out in the past, so a little shorter at about 120-125.

 

All conventional rigging this one, no zipline. Plenty of room to chunk down the logs later.

 

Windy at times but dry and bright. Thanks

Christ you boys work quick Reg.

 

That would make my Transit grunt a bit time we'd bagged the rakings up and chucked them on top.

Yes Carl, especially so on big conifers like that.....so many limbs rubbing on your line.

Reg do you tie in up top, or base tie on these conifers? Do you big shot a good tip, then advance from there?

To get up Ben? Whatevers easiest.

 

On that particular tree, I got Scott to put my line up in the bucket (Doubled) and then went up on the spurs and flipline.....tending the climbline as I progressed.

 

I came down for lunch and spurred all the way back up after....I have a huge flip-line for that, 3/4in.

 

Sometimes I'll SRT also to get up, with or without spurs, depending. I'd never work the whole tree and leave a base tie though....always tie-in up top.

Do you ever get In the bucket and jump out onto the tree? I've done it a fair few times when the tree is larger than the bucket will reach...
