depends on each tree. and type of gum/euc it is. as there are like over 700 speices i think, some are strong some are weak and shed branches. So it down to working with good practice's and selecting good anchor points etc etc. Geoff advise was very good i thought tho. You can feel in the tree as well, make sure you observe how the wood holds/ breaks and moves when you do your cuts etc. Cheers MOG

Nooooooo not the ERGO! lol maybe gd for takedowns tho, u big bad tree killer;p

defeatists trick? nar cos the bag mite drop out the other side or atleast you have the line back so u can attach another bag and throw up again and retrieve it. and the other trick, u get more practice by throwing up again. haha if you take 2 cubes then you will never have to walk home:biggrin: used to walk my ex's dog with a throwbag get it swinging and just goes back and forth. but lots of slobber when you push ur luck and get to close to the dogs mouth. haha tired them out hardout and good fun. 7 years and no throwlining, you must love street trees and hedges Cheers MOG

But what about getting. THE SHOT! FIRST SHOT! man how good does that feel, if there was no bad there would be no reward always 2 sides. Couple of little tricks tho is to make a little cut couple inch from the bag and when u pull it will snap there.( i personally dont use this method but seen it done and work) the other is, get your (hopefully) second throwbag/line and throw higher and parallel with the other. drop bag to ground line perfect line with the other and clip bineer on to stuck throwbag and then pull all the way up and it should pull the stuck bag outta the crocth and lower to the ground. i use that abit and works very well, just have to get the SHOT haha. but alot of the time instead of fannying about its quicker just to go back up, but its all practice what ever way you look at it. Cheers MOG

what length of friction cord for hitch climber
MOG replied to tree man john's topic in Climbers talk
all depends on what rope and hitchcord you use. as they are so work so different on different ropes, sizes and cord. i tried loads of different ropes and hitches,8mm and 10mm Distel/knut/vt etc etc etc and so on with ropes. mainly around 11-12mm, due to weight and finally decided on Tachyon 11.5mm with 10mm bee-line. at 1.4m in length tieing fisherman's with good tails. hope that helps, but as a gernal rule 1.5m is a good length. Cheers MOG -
Cheers guys thanks heaps for the comments. enjoying sharing. Tree was in Yarra Valley in Victoria, Melbourne, Australia. small pulleys? not sure what u mean there sorry? guessing not the redirect? yeah dunno what happen with vid was a huge mess about, getting it sort and still not right as, its suppose to have sound chainsaws talking etc. and better sound track but the powers at be would let it happen. Anyways to cut a long story short i redone it with a different track not ideal but should have sound too. i just swap it with the old one, i think the talking in it is the best bit. Cheers MOG

How To Get My Saws To New Zealand
MOG replied to Tree Menders's topic in International Arborist Forum
@ adam cost me @$720 $au. with 14inch bar and chain, i reckon its pretty much the same really. i only done half a day with it so far so i keep u updated after a week or so. we did a race cutting a log compare to MS200 was too fair as my chain was new, but 201 was faster but i reckon if they where both new chains it be the same. Cheers mog -
time is money Bristo, time is money......

How To Get My Saws To New Zealand
MOG replied to Tree Menders's topic in International Arborist Forum
if this is any help i dunno but..... bought a saw from honey brothers sent to Ozzy but Ups must of been on plane as came within couple weeks. had fuel and oil in as it had been test run. fuel leaked out of bar bit and quater of tank still in it. and no worries at all! thats the MS 201. but i know NZ are gay as on import tax as anything over $100 u have to pay as Oz is $1000. anyway long story short i would ring Honey Brothers and speak to them as they would know best. Hope that helps. MOG -
sorry guys, i try and sort it this wk. shame tho was awesome sound track. pixes, smashing pumpkins and pink floyd bummer
-
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUkBt61iSWA[/ame] things in Ozzy. was great fun but i think the key here is knowing your limits. Cheers MOG
-
funny guy! Why not just put splice through the bigger splice or ring? choked and no knots? or am i missing something here? MOG
-
yeah bro, but use it for work positioning and sometimes instead of taking my main landyard off. as i said before it is my secondary landyard. and i rated my anchor point before i load it too:biggrin:. this is back to the points of knowing your gear. knowing your trees and commonsense. i try and get some pic's up. tomz MOG
-
cinch and spectra speed, and AP and ropeman as a secondary landyard. trying it recently and is working very well can get in the way sometimes but handy as. just have it coiled on my lower D's. great for better positioning and those times were u out on a limb and need to take off ur landyard and move higher. yes yes i know u can use ur footlocking strop or have one another setup on the end of ur landyard. but come on, can u be arsed to use it? lol thats my rant over then;p but it is working well for me MOG
-
whats happening binging:) tried that slackline over the same distance but low down and its the movement in the line that messed us up/ way harder to balance. needs to be way tighter over such a large distance. loving the fact u customise the rope wrench so its mid-line, way cooler. Keep up the good work, be instersting to see the next one? or is that the finish? Cheers Matt Glen

thanks guys, thats a big help. looking forward to it
