After a week of working in heavy rain it is so nice to wake up to the sound of Einstein tapping his head.A sure sign that the morning is full of Solar rays!

I did enjoy it and it was well worth waiting up for (1.48 a.m here) Set Quality to HD. Great Lake view as you jammed your heel into the rotting top.Jeez, no wonder you were cramping up working those segments off bit by bit from such an enormous trunk....Looked like some Giant dried up Chocolate cake as the crumbling segments dropped leaving a dusty tail. I always marvel at your bravery and skill but above all your focus. Understandable that you were cautious in cutting a shallow face and glad you were able to get another cable on to coax such a mass of wood over it's balance point.Great technical thinking and understanding. Hopefully you broke even but in any case like you saud "No Carnage and you got home"...You are a great inspiratiin to me and have been for a few years now. Keep doin what yer doin. Goodnite 🖒🖒🌳🌲

Incredible Pictures Reg! Sounds like you had to pull together literally all your Tree Work puzzle solving skills to get it done and get home safely.....Great Job.

Was thinking the same thing Stampy.He should get a black one like mine and look like the fly....i agree with Stihlmadasever that the battery pack looks useful.Too much loopage to get things caught up on although i'd love to try it though but not the drone.I'll stick to hand throwing. -
Wow Mr Arbtech...quite a narrow escape mate! And certainly a cautionary tale for us all.Always keep my Ripeur 2's to hand.
-
Certainly is Mr Stubby.

Willow was pleased to see Grandad Tree.

Bit of extra cash for the weekend...nice to be back on the ZZ....off to the Birthday Party!
-
Brand new rope,krabs,freshly cleaned ZigZag (First time using it since October!) Made the job effortless.
-
First time using the new throwline too.This stuff is even better than my favourite Liros Magic speed.
-
And i am nornally the only one in the team who takes pictures so it was nice to get some of me......The new lid by the way is so light you don't notice you are wearing one.
-
Still managed to make the cuts with the amazing 160T...
-
So when i got to the trees there branches were a little bigger than expected but there is always more than one way to skin a cat.
-
We have such a lot going on this bank holiday Me too.I promised to remove a couple of branches one which was pulling a tree over and the other with a split/hazard beam....and to be done before i go to see my Grandaughter to celebrate her first birthday!
-
And the Sunny weather continued into Saturday morning,i was up early as usual to see an unexpected sight.Lots of balloons taking off in the horizon and heading towards the city.....
-
The trunk was left to stand.Not sure what killed it.
-
What incredible temperatures we've been having.Last week saw highs of around 27 degrees here in the North East.We are putting together a new website soon at Premier Trees and my pictures will be used.The great light last week made for nice shots.
-
What great posts.wonderful to see such massive respect and fond memories.

I have yes. It's VERY light.Good venting and the smoked visor is a nice change from looking through mesh.
