Douglas fir pruning

[Rich Rule]

Looks great Reg.

 

I bet it was a bit tedious though but a good result and sounds like your customer is happy.

The camera work was tedious Rich. Having to keep going back up to reposition. .

I've always believed it takes far more physical prowess to perform high quality pruning without gaffs, than it does to perform technical removals.

 

That Reg's great at both's to be expected!

 

Watchin Reg wielding his handsaw out at the terminal tips, cuttin n catchin's a true delight!

 

But pneumatic hand loppers'd sure be handy in that situation!

 

Sir Reginald sets the industry bar high n wide!

I noticed you weren't tied in twice when cutting.

I've told the Mounties on you.

Thanks Mark. Common sense is a prerequisite to joining the Mounties, dont you know. They would surely recognize right away the wastefulness of a double tie in that situation.

[Mark Bolam]

Haha!

I watched a vid recently where the lad tied in for literally every cut on a pruning job, nearly always totally needlessly as you say.

I actually found it physically painful.

And of course bolams a crackpot

With chainsaws, I get it. But with handsaws, it's comparable to not trusting your own knots. Constraints don't necessarily make for safer work. There's a lot more to developing climbing skill than fixed work positions.

Nice work and video Reg. Impressive for a "quick" afternoons work.
