I believe thats called dendophillia Rich I was coping some excessive G forces with the combined fluff and nut weights on those ends - really feeling it deep in the core on the swings. appreciate the props and positive vibes !! Ben.

thankyou Mick , couldn't get a drone to film on this one - we were just inside the no fly zone but the neighbour Dianne did get some good footage for me. Ben.

Thanking you Silky fox - throwing everything at it but the kitchen sink on that job. Love my pfanner Protos helmet, wouldn't be without it now but recommend to any potential buyers to purchase a second set of liners - that helmet stank can build up fast

Ohh Yeah - You know it My biggest broom deployment to date, some people been asking whether I left the nails in the roof sheets but I can assure all and sundry the nails were still there not a leaf was left behind.... Ben.

Thankyou Sean , Props and kind comments are much appreciated especially when it was a hard graft kinda job Ben

Yah Jonny I was fearful that those first pieces were going to produce a few tears myself but I needed to clear that lower section ruthlessly so I could get up to the tasty pieces above. and no I do not possess a GRCS or a Hobbs but would dearly love to that whole job was done with a couple of portawraps Ben

5 days of removal two trees small dz's maximum effort. Ben

Yeah I was grining from ear to ear on that job, too wet for us Aussies you like my lid? I noticed a german climber has copied my sharks tooth grin design recently onto his protos helmet - I guess flattery is expressed in imitation but he could have had the decency to credit me , any hoo thanks Ben

thanking You iana, that job did go to the plan with some on the fly upgrades on the way. Ben

Thankyou Mick - yes I was doing the cmon cmon cmon wiggle on that top as it slide down half expecting to have to do some silly thing to get it untangled but thankfully we became golden.

all day removal and pruning of various red gums on one site good mix of rigging styles with my new rigging line cheers Ben.
-
Hi Mick , nah you are reading it correctly sir - the chains needed to be a bit higher and I was over ruled by the crane op on that one . only thing going my way was the positioning of the chains and the quick reflexes of the crane op once the piece separated in getting it away from me. a little bit poopy moment to remind every one about the balance of a load and not one I care to repeat. Ben
-
thankyou Jomoco and your self sir - stay safe out there. Ben

takedown I inherited from another climber who muffed it up like a muppet and then ran away when his lowering rope ( cheap old three strand) broke on some main timber nearly killing a staff member on the ground. lowered out the fluff and the secondary timber that was left and craned out the main timber with a 16 tonner. contract climbing means Ambush from time to time... cheers Ben.

too busy training for the climb comp after work? haha its all good Jesse appreciate the props

Thankyou Jomoco, I am still waiting to film that all hand saw euc prune for you but haven't forgotten Ben

Thank you very much Mick, I also hand out compliments to all the crew during a job for what ever reason the rope man is the bossman of that company and a twenty year vet in the industry - I told his son and the upcoming climber at Bradleys that I was keeping him and they were not getting him back
