old elm, with a bit of new technology.

[Big 'Ammer]

Bob came over last week to give us a hand with an elm t/d.

 

It was a big old tree and it gave us a chance to put the 'Arborcom' Bluetooth earmuffs through another field trial.

 

Bob climbed and I was on the lowering rope, Dave and Chris on tag line and chipper duties.

 

The job went very smoothly indeed and Bob was a pleasure to work with.

 

He never wasted a single step or movement, appearing unhurried but with an immense workrate.

 

It was nice to not work with the usual shouts, waves and whistles over saw and chipper noise, and it made a very pleasant and sociable day mixing work related conversation throughout the day with general chat, whilst putting a lot of work away at the same time.

 

I was in a garden unsighted to Dave and Chris who were in an access road lower than the garden , behind some tall shrubs.

 

Bob and I could coordinate each cut and the lowering and he could direct me as to what the others were doing from up in the tree.

 

There are a few issues with the headsets which need sorting out, but overall they were very good indeed for a job like this.

 

It stayed dry until the climbing was finished, too!

 

Heres a few pics.
