We flew from RDU to Topsail Island, then down the coast to Bald Head Island and finally landed at Cape Fear Regional Jetport. We used the crew car from the new FBO (Fixed Base Operator) and drove to the beach.
Flying low and slow over the English countryside.

A quick weekend getaway to Swansea, Wales.
Its not clear to me how people get the ropes up there to start the climb
All those climbing these ancient trees are contributing to their demise. One or two scientists help us to understand what is taking place up there in the canopy. However - do you remember a teacher pointing out to you as a young student - if one person picks a flower, ok, but if everybody picks a flower, they will all be gone! And your teacher was right. If you truly revere these trees, admire them with your mind, and let them be here for your great, great grandchildren!
Nice. Are you climbing in SRT or MRS?
That was an SRT set up with the rope wrench.
A 300 ft. tall Sequoia?? Name and locate just one. These Sequoia tree climbers are universally disliked by the people who live in or near Sequoia trees as the pompous pain in the a-----s they are.
On my bucket list to see these magnificent trees in person. May they always be protected🙏🏻
A trip out to Sequoia National Park is unforgettable. You should go out for sure. The idea for this climb came while visiting the park. This tree is south of Yosemite.
That looks like the Bull Buck Tree in Nelder Grove.
That’s impressive!
Beautiful!
Awful music
Great video! I just bought a sailboat and want to put it on sacandaga. Im wondering if thie marina you had it at had the equipment to help raise the mast. Thank you
That's nice. HOW TO GET THE ROPE ATTACHED WAY UP???????
Hi Don, if you look at the beginning of the video I am using what is called a bigshot. It’s basically a giant slingshot on an eight foot pole. I shot a weighted throwline up first, then used that to pull my climbing line up and over a branch.
Is this Lindsey sterling ?
I guess why ask a question when I know the answer. Lol
Yes it is, a lot of people hate the song. 🤣
@@Jeffopar its a great song in my opinion!

If I had a house in a suitable climate, I would definitely plant this in my yard. 😃
Why was this so short and only the male speaking? Weird. The apartments were fabulous.
This was just a fun video I made when my wife and I moved to London. I guess it may look a little too real. Hope you enjoyed it.
‘Nother great vid!
good job
Jack and Karen are great hosts! (We sold Jack that Miata…loved seeing it again!)
What an awesome trip and that was one smooth landing❤❤
Thank you so much! We had a wonderful time. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Climbing 300 feet is just like sitting on top of the statue of liberty
Must have been awesome being that close 😁
So cool! 🐬
One hour flight 6 minute drive how can you beat that!!!
You two are awesome!! Thanks for taking us on the flight ✈️💕
Hey Jeff amazing flight, I wanted to ask what audio cable are you using for recording ?
How long it took you to reach the top?:)
It took about an hour and a half to two hours. I wasn’t in any hurry.
Nice:)👍
👏👏very nice!😃
I’m never complaining about my 16 ft flip line again. Great video dude! Any wildlife encounters along the way?
Thank you, it was an amazing climb. No wildlife, my wife got eaten alive by the mosquitoes on the ground though. She toughed it out to get that drone footage.
My question is how did u get the rope up there? A helicopter?
I used something called a big shot, which is a large slingshot on the end of an 8 foot pole. It’s used in tree work to set a throw line that you then use to pull up your climbing line. I can accurately set a rope up to about 100 and 25 feet or so. There is a picture of me kneeling down pulling down the slingshot in one of the first frames of the video.

Congratulations bro! I hope to do that someday myself. Those trees are so majestic. May God protect them from greedy fools, the same sorts of fools who fell that 385 foot tall Sequoia in Northern California back in the 40’s. I used to live about 2 hours away from the giant sequoia trees when I was 7 years old. My parents managed a restaurant called Snowline Lodge. It was so precious living in that area. I live in Baldwin Illinois now. (Southern Illinois.) Thank you for sharing this video. That drone shot is remarkable
Thank you so much! My wife flew the drone and she was being eaten alive by mosquitoes. She toughed it out and got some great footage.
"fools" is to kind...
God bless you
There must be reason why he did not show the very first throw. They all are fucken fakers on posted videos on internet.
I didn’t show the first throw because there wasn’t one. I showed a picture of how I set the climbing line with a “big shot” in the very beginning.of the video. If you know anything about tree work you know that this is the most accurate way to set a line at difficult heights or tight locations. My wife was taking pictures at that point and began to shoot video with the drone once I was climbing. What exactly do you think is fake about this video?
@@Jeffopar Yes I do not know everything about climbing trees that's why I watched your video. Video starts with you hauling a big rope by small rope. How the small rope got up there ? You walked up to the tree and small rope waited for you ? That is why it is a fake video for me. You do not have to show a half a day of time you shooting small rope up there but you have to show how it is done to be real.
Very cool Dude
Jaw dropping. Nicely done
Thank you so much!
I really enjoyed this video great flight and coms, great content!
Thank you so much. I appreciate that.
So jealous!!!! Here in ohio, we talk about climbing redwoods a lot. Hopefully one day I get the opportunity. Highest I've climbed is 100ft. Seems like small potatoes to something like this.
It was an absolutely amazing experience. Get out there and at least visit the redwoods. My wife and I were out at Sequoia National Park and Yosemite on vacation and I decided that I had to climb a redwood. We flew back out (from NC) the following month with my gear. I found this tree on forest land, its not protected like national park land.
There is no place in the world like a giant redwood forest !!
What type of accenders are you using?
On this climb I used a rope wrench and HAAS.
holy crap someone actually climbed a sequoia! You deserve a like
greatbjob and perfekt tree..
It is amazing we still have any of these giants left. The Early Pioneers **decimated** the old growth forests and cut down thousands up thousands of Sequioa and Redwood with wanton destruction and greed.
Must have had a massive budget.
💚🌲🌳🙃
Wow I hope a lot more of those have been planted recently!
What an incredible experience that must have been! You really are on top of the natural world there, spectacular!
Nice landing Jeff!! Enjoyed the flight 😁
Thanks 👍
🥰
Majestic!!
While up there you should have cut that brokenlimb back to the collar lol jk
I was waiting for the base jump :(
I wish. 👍
