Yes Ben, no obvious targets, but we chose to rig the tree as it was pretty crispy and shattered every time a bit touched the floor. The job was in a hospital and there were a number of cars, ambulances etc in and out all day. We actually started the filming 1/3rd of the way through and I just stuck the GoPro on my monopod and jammed it in the hole on the throttle of the Avant. Hardly a lot of effort. You should make more effort to film mate.

Haha, cheers Pete. It was me on the ropes... Aaron climbing.

Well it worked for me. 3 wraps and 2 braids. The top of the hitch cord goes under on the first braid and 2nd instead of the top braid going over the top for the first and second.

If it is practical skills your after, then try. The Fundamentals of General Tree Work by Gerry Beranek. or his DVD series, Working Climber. Vol 1 Vol2 and 3.

Excellent stuff. Keep at it and good luck.

Hence the reason I asked. If the original post is asking about a swivel because his line twists when climbing on a VT, then it is useless to introduce a swivel to reduce the twist. Tieing the VT slightly differently will reduce the hockling and reduce the need for a swivel. Other people don't have the problem with SJ and prussics etc... so its all good.

Where was that mate?

Not sure about the exact legislation behind Whole Tree Chippers and solo operation, but IME the guy loading is probably working solo. But then again he would probably be in a 360 or operating the chipper with a similar means of loading.
-
For what reason do you think you need a swivel? I tried one years ago to try and stop the twisting in my climbing line from my VT. All it did was make the twisting (hocking) 10x worse. Took it off sharpish.

Your all bloody lucky. 40 in september, 10 plate Nav, SE London, lost my no claims due to an African Pastor deciding he ruled the road and drove straight into me. \ 1300 quid. Last year with 9 years no claims it cost me 1080. -
Yes you can Mark. I bought one about 6 years ago and I think I have used it about 4 times.

Great stuff David. I enjoyed that.

Cheers, The larger saw was a 441 with a 20 inch bar I think. As for the 200t?? Maybe it is a slightly different bar. Not sure. Edit: Just looked again and yes it is different. It is a lightweight one i think. Sort od like the sugihara bars with a section removed and filled with a compound material or something. They have them on chainsawbars.co.uk - Stihl Rollamatic E light 12" 3/8 lo pro .050 44 drive links

i have been thinking of getting a split board and skins for getting a bit further away. i don't think i would use them in the alps but there are plenty of opportunities when i am over in Norway.

Nice work John.
-
Are the resorts still open Roger or are you snow shoeing it?
-
Wow, a thread of many words!
-
Thanks.
-
Haha. Cheers for letting me off Tbh when I checked the footage I thought it was all garbage. Well it was apart from the slightly better rubbish filming you can see. Cheers Silky.
-
Cheers Matty.

What was his name? Not met any German subbies out there. There is one German, but he is permanent staff.
-
Ah, cool, a few of the guys I work with in Norway used to work there.
-
Nice work there Adam. Who are you working for in Vienna?
-
Thanks. I just wish I hadn't boshed my lid on a branch otherwise I may have had bit more footage. The groundie was the guy who did the other tree, so he knows what it feels like to get shook up! He let it run well, I will pass on the compliments next time I see him. Cheers.
