Split mulberry video

[RC0]

Reg the Harris was ok mostly on that job yes I rigged the first part over a big irk to be sure of the integrity of the tree, then installed a pinto rig higher up. Mulberry sure is heavy.

 

I drink whatever is at hand, usually the customer provides ice water, and I fill p the camelbak with that.

 

Been getting into zip lining recently, I love it, and so does the groundcrew.

 

You should try gatorade Ben....in hot weather it makes all the difference. Water is great but when you're working, sweating and drinking lots of it, it flushes a lot of the good stuff from your body.

Or tonic water, that lovely quinine does wonders, and its cheaper (not than water:lol:)

Good job Ben.

 

Do you drink gatorade in the hot weather?

 

Where possible when I'm rigging, I'll cut the biggest piece available to me to test the strength of the tree, at the earliest opportunity. If its all good I know the whole thing is in hand from that point onwards. I sorta got that feeling when you took that first limb....you're headcam appeared all jerky and stuff. But after that your movement seemed smoother throughout. Was your ar se twitching a little on that first one mate? looked quite heavy for what it was.

 

What if it's not all good?

Only happened twice. The first I fell in a river with the tree. The other, once I realised how bad the situation was about to become, I got down, guyed the tree back to another and we hired a mewp. Or rather, the tree company hired a mewp, I wasn't needed for that. Both times was root faliure.
