I'm impressed by how you rigged such a short squat tree to hang that close to vertical.

 

Didn't see exactly how you did that with chains, but it obviously worked well.

 

A bit too much up on the CO's part though.

 

Did you rig it with two opposing choked chains?

 

Nice job mate, thanks for posting it.

Thanks for posting.

 

Question: did you hire the crane just for that tree?

I love seeing floating trees!

Nice job, what cut did you use to sever the stem?

Hi Jomoco,

Yes we used opposite choked chains.

 

What do you mean with: "A bit too much up on the CO's part though."?

 

Thank you!
