Nice piece of camera work.

 

Have to say though...purely based upon available footage, that's the soundest & most functional looking Rotten Lime Tree/trunk, I think I've ever seen.

 

Would appreciate further explaination of the Trees condition a wee bit more

Nice work. Didnt look too rotten to me, little bit in the lowest section, but further up was fairly sound?

Thanks for posting, helmet cam seems to be working very well, good sound quality, maybe need to angle it slightly downwards when your cutting in the tree so we can see more of whats going on.

 

There's a few things you do in the video that I'd take issue with if you were working for me, if you want me to highlight them just say, if not then thats cool.

 

Cheers for posting. Look forward to seeing the next one.

Nice vid mate, not sure about the two hands thing, and boy is your winch slow.

 

I used to use a 4x4 winch, it was hydraulic and ran off a pto on the gearbox, it was a little faster than that but not fast enough for me. My solution (please note this is not recommended in any fastco guide as rope stretch in a winching situation is not ideal) was to use a rope from the tree to the winch wire the rope would naturally stretch a little. You need a reasonable rope run for this, say 8m, this stretch was preloaded on to the stem, not too much obviously, meaning that as the stem was cut it would go quickly lessening the chance of leaning stems going astray. Like i say this is for experienced users and can be a handy technique under the right circumstances, but abuse it and if it goes wrong things could be nasty.
