That looked a fair size tree, roughlu how high was the first few cuts?

Tim, what about a video of the limbs that "accidentally" slipped the running bowline and drifted away on the current?

agi, not that high, it had a big lean over the river though, will get a pic of the tree

that footage has been destroyed along with all other evidence that would lead the environmental agency to us

Just to be sure though, Draw the shutters tonight incase they swing through the window

Great tune, nice and easy work! Was it compromised? What winch did you use?

had dealings with them before at other similar jobs near rivers, strange bunch, that's all I'll say

 

Ben, not compromised but I was tied into a 80ft highline behind me with a quick release setup on the flipline just in case. The branches and top sections you see in the vid were pulled out at the opposite shore with a Nissan Pickup (seen in vid at 0.45) via a re-direct on a big Oak (see the guys on the opposite bank at 1.04). The timber was lifted out via a re-direct on the Poplar itself with a 5 ton tirfor, you see the set up here?

I don't get it Tim ?

 

The river looked deep enough, why winch them out

Nice one Tim, could you elaborate on the quick release system? Sounds handy.
