Scots Pine fell and other tree surgery.

[scotspine1]

Up here we've probably had the worst summer since the mid 80s, not much chance to take decent tree pics or vids - too dark. September's been alright though so started taking the camera back out to work and got some decent footage of a Scots Pine fell. After that is some random, rigging, felling etc usual tree surgery stuff from the last couple of weeks....3 mins worth.

Nice one Tim, is that one of the RC capstans?

Liked the guided rope bombing just over half way through thats my kind of lowering like guided log missiles

 

Just curious about that stem you felled up the bank why the high felling cut took a nasty bounce, all was good though just curious if the was any reason why you did it that way?
