Must be decent not to snap, would be interested to find out 😜

Great vid! Text was in some sort of Johnny Foreigner lingo though?

 

Did it say "college boy's first day on the job?"

No it said (along the lines of) tree climbing is a real skill.

Then this climber only managed to emerge unscathed thank to good gear and quick reflexes.

I was waiting for the "Hi O Silver, and away" at the end. The tension gets to everyone some time, he was well anchored fortunately.

Nasty to watch.

 

Looking again it looks like some one got very over eager on the pull line. The whole tree looks like it's going to snap before his back cut even goes in

If only they had dibnah to help.

We had a chimney like that next to where we lived. It was part of a unit built in the First World War for refining shale oil from a sand and gravel pit. (nothing much new is there!)

 

My dear old father sat all day in a deck chair waiting for the big moment with his clockwork cine camera while they struggled to fell it.

When they did manage to do it he was sound asleep. Certainly woke him up though!
