    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.

    Forgot I had edited this footage from my last trip to Norway. Double Pine dismantle either side of a fence. Freefalled the first tree and rigged the second tree of the first in about 5 or 6 pieces. We could have just freefalled the second tree but there was some pretty nice lanscraping and decking on the HO side. Sorry for the quality of the footage, my lid must have tilted back a bit during the job. I did manage to cobble together the following. My mate did the tree to the right. [ame] [/ame]

    Serves you right for doing hedges!

    I had a swivel on my bridge about 4 years ago as I thought it might alleviate the hocking of my climb line. The swivel just made the problems 10x worse. I stand by Marks comment that a swivel is pretty pointless in this type of application.

    I used to drive one many moons ago which ran a MEWP off of the PTO. Not sure how the chipper and MEWP would compare though.

    Elms tear like mad, even with undercuts. It is a shame to reduce them, they look terrible with regrowth and they may be resistant to DED.

    So after all that time and effort do you think it is worth it to be able a couple more wood chips than a Transit.? I would want a lot more payload for the hassle of running one of those machines.

    Nice vid mate. I see you aren't too daring with the falling tree cam. August would have had it at the top. Ian, I think you need to try harder next time...

    Sad times mate. Always hard losing a good friend.
  15. Rich Rule
    I suppose it depends on the tree, location, removal of arisings, cleanup, is it being chipped or burnt? Do you have any pictures of said trees? so that we can see and be in a better place to offer advise on the quote.

    I found it very easy. May have been due to splicing a few used ropes and that was the first new rope I had done for a while.
  17. Rich Rule
    Are Cougar and Cougar Blue the same rope?
  18. Rich Rule
    I guessed that Jon. What I meant to say is why chainsaw gloves? I just wear gripper gloves everyday regardless. Not worn chainsaw protection gloves for over 11 years.
  19. Rich Rule
    Why do you need to wear chainsaw gloves?
  20. Rich Rule
    True, but why get into bad habits at such an early stage? Stick a pully on the steel krab and it will run a lot easier, not damage the rope, looks better and they are not exactly expensive or heavy. Either a pinto rig or a swing cheek pulley.

    order it from 'Murica. Tree Stuff - Donaghys Cougar Blue Climbing Rope edit: they are finding it like a Unicorn.

    What's green and invisible? This cabbage!
  23. Rich Rule
    I have had the trapeze have both legs of the rope to into it. Climbed back up and really couldn't believe it. Sod's law.
  24. Rich Rule
    Throw a throwline over the tree. Before you pull a climb line line into the tree though. Try and manipulate the throw line close to the trunk on the side you are gonna ascend. Tie a small pulley into the line and install your climbing setup. Pull the whole lot up the tree and tie off the leg at the base. Climb rope as normal. Spikey and not very nice but doable.

    I would say being right handed doesn't have much to do with it. If you were to kick a football or if you're not into footy, which leg would you try to kick the head of a daisy with? Use that leg.
