Sycamore dismantle

Took my gopro to work on the weekend, only just passed my 41 so be gentle.

Good effort, just one point. Don't let the groundie drop pieces with out using the capstan. One day he will get a ride or drop a piece. Well done👍

[Pete Mctree]

Good job.

 

If you clean all those stubs off you will find that the ropes run better (got snagged at 4.30ish) & it is much safer as you can fall & land on one all too easily.

Thanks for the comments lads, ill take it all on board. Like I said I've only just got my 41 but I'm keen as mustard and love the job.

Thanks again

Its all about communication with the guy running the ropes. Dont be scared to go bigger if you can get the feel for it. Its all about getting the feel for weight, swing etc, for both you and the ropeman.

 

Careful not to cut thru your hinge too, like you did near the start, and got your bonce knocked by the branch Weve all done it lol

 

Good job, get paid, go home.

Bigger pieces is Easier said than done lol, I know what you mean though I'm sure it will come with experience.

Thanks

I think your doing it right by not going too big yet. find your feet, and you will do bigger bits as your confidence grows along with your ground. Also as said cut your pegs off coz that bit will always get hung up on it and trust me its annoying and a lot more work keep going down to unhook it.

[Philmypower]

Not as annoying as your groundie tying a stop knot right at the end of your lowering rope so when it's sent back up it flies past you and you have to go back up the main stem to retrieve it lol. This happens twice.

After all the feedback I will make more effort to remove all pegs.

Thanks guys.

Only other small thing was some of ur gobs weren't in the intended direction of fell or pull via the rope and some could be done with the step cut hand held or tied on.

 

Either way i enjoyed it, well done and keep the vids coming. Everyday is a learning

Nice video!

Looks like it was pretty windy up there at times with the woodchip flying off in the wrong direction.

 

Forgive me for being 'that guy' but was it not possible to fell into the field behind?
