Oak reduction But Has It Already Moved?
Просмотров 1,6 тыс.21 час назад
Heavy leaning oak tree getting reduced to hopefully prolong its life and prevent failure. The spec was a 2m reduction but the tree was not ideal for this so some places was just weight reduction. hope you enjoy the vid.

Price worth the extra Performance | X-Cut vs Rotatech
Просмотров 678Месяц назад
In this vid I am comparing the Husqvarna X-Cut chain to the Rotatech chain both right out the box to see wether the price is worth the extra performance. . Both saws did play up while doing the cuts but I had to use them as that was the first cut out of the box. Could have been the bar or just operator error haha. . I will be sticking with the X-Cut like I said in the vid. Let me know in the co...

Easy way to stay compliant at work and just use one rope installed at the top. Not sure if you're aware but you are allowed to have 1 rope that reaches the ground and just a lanyard round the tree like normal. as long as you don't remove every of them you can go up and down getting the job done.

Working The Graveyard Shift | Dead Tree Removal | Weight Reduction Work
Nice one. Saw you on the friday at the arb show .. you were pretty busy! Catch you some other time for a chat! 😂
Oh damn! See you at the APF then?
Nice work! It's nice to see some pruning content in between all of the tree removal content that's out there.
Thanks mate ye I do a lot of both day to day 👍🏻
Nice vid , glad to see I’m not the only one who uses the silky as much as the chainsaw 😂😂😂
Ye I love the silky for everything 👌🏻
what a drag!! get yerself a Stein Arb Trolley...
Another good job Look forward to the next video
Thanks mate 🙏🏻
Great work and fun video to whatch! In one sequence towards the end when you were still working in the canopy you seemed to have some rather scary work positioning with the rope running pretty much horizontally away from you to an anchor point on a branch in another segment of the canopy... - or did you have another anchor point above you I did not see...?😳😀
Thanks mate! I think what you was seeing would have been a redirect. I did 3 or 4 in the tree but still originally tied into the main stem. Defo would have been scary to just anchor into the side limbs on this one 😅. Thanks for the comment hopefully this clarifies it for some other people as we well 👍🏻
Nice work bro! I like your new chipper.
Thanks mate some little differences to the old one which seem to be better which is nice 👌🏻
I like how you work. Clean cuts, thinking before and after cutting to make the right decisions, making the smallest cuts as possible but at the same time reducing the necessary weight (looks like). I like these kind of jobs myself.
Thanks mate! Yes exactly you can only cut once so needs to be correct 💪🏻👍🏻
Give me a reduction pruning video to watch over a take down anytime. Top notch work there👌 💪
Thanks mate. Tell the truth pruning is mainly what I do. Unless it’s an ash removal
I appreciate and the pride in your work!
Thank you! I like to do my best at whatever I do 👌🏻💪🏻
Love the pruning videos!
Thanks I will keep them coming 👍🏻
Your cuts are always top!
Thank you I do try my best 💪🏻👍🏻
Another tidy job Well done
Thanks mate 👍🏻
are you using a chest cam for this? looks good
Funny i read this comment as he was explaining exactly what he was using.
Yes I am using a magnetic chesty do you think it was better or prefer it on the head?
@@mickarblife Haven't watched many of your others videos yet, but it was great in this one.
@@mickarblife i think i prefer the head cam but it's a nice change of perspective
Would something like the Edelrid fuse be better still a back up device but dosent need as much tending
That’s a fall arrest device so would have to be attached to the dorsal or sternum. Like the ASAP and also you need to have an absorber with it and free space to fall into which 9 times out of 10 we have branch’s under us. Hope that all makes sense
Great Video man. Keep popping out the great content. Stay Safe
Thanks mate I will try my best to keep up 😅
Thanks for video, excellent
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Bummer, I’m getting no sound, is it just me?
I think the audio is working 🤔 maybe try a different device
@@mickarblifegot sound now, same device same headphones, different location! Thanks for your response!!
Still working on my jumps. Shit is awesome
practice makes perfect 👍
Love a snappy willow! Nice job.
Im exploring tree climbing and once i can afford to i want to do a tree surgeon course. Why make a second rope mandatory? And do you have a source for the guidelines so i can see exactly what likely poorly thought out rules our 'sensible' government has come up? I mean obviously i dont know my ass from my elbow currently but surely a second rope is overkill safety wise. Clearly it has its place but why make it mandatory?
If you Google TG1 tree climbing click on the AA website and they will have a link to the technical guide 👍🏻
Outstanding Mick, 👍💪🪓🌲🇮🇪
Nice rigging with the timber at the end 👌
Thanks guys 🙏🏻👍🏻
Thank you. I've learned a lot
Awesome thanks for the comment 👍🏻 and I’m stoked the vid was helpful 🙏🏻
Great format! Might also do good on instagram.
Thanks Victor! I will have go next time with insta as well as RUclips. Thanks for the feed back
Awesome
Thanks mate
That's a great intro guide. I picked up a few tips I plan to try out next climb. Thank you very much for taking the time to make it!
Thanks for watching and I’m glad there was something useful for you. Have fun at your next climb 😁
How is it going managing the tails of your long bridges? Are they annoying? Thanks for the vid!
I have been coiling them up to the length I need so not that bad actually so if I need more bridge I have it available but not dangling down in the way
Well put together Mick, lots of great info and tips there. Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video.
Thanks Matt! I made this a while ago and thought why not post it here. Glad the info was informative. Will be a drt vid this week 😁
i bought rotatec and wrecked my saw with it stretching so much in the first cut and flying off . stick with oregon now never had a problem.
Nice
Spiderman
Maybe you could have made 3 cuts for each and then an average... 😬 But if you say they snap...there's not much else to say
Ye true some more cuts may of helped down, up, down or something. I will do that in the next one I do 👍🏻
Us americans just run around the tree on our one tie in , i’m confused why you’d need two points of attachment to move ?
and also if you’re ascending quickly would you need another anchor attached to your bridge ? where would you attach it? because two anchors attached to your bridge is technically only tied in once. so do you have to rope walk with your lanyard around the tree?
@@jonathanspafford7181 this is just a away of doing small trees. Bigger trees yes we would have 2 ropes anchored at the top. You can clip both systems to 1 bridge only wearing 1 harness lol
I used a rotatech chain once. Never got on with it. Was a while back so maybe should try again price is much more attractive
Just be aware they do snap on a regular basis but yes the price is attractive. Stay safe 👍🏻
I do a lot of walking as well at work would you say these are comfortable for that as well as climbing?
Hey mate, Yes very comfortable but if you do a lot a walking you will most likely wear out the soft grippy rubber on the bottom pretty quick that’s the only issue. But great for climbing
Looks like such a nice harness, love the indoor set up you have too. Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks mate always wanted to try make a nice indoor setup so will try make it better each vid as well 👍🏻
Another great video Mick. This will definitely help a few people out 👍
Thanks Matt I’m just surprised with some of the comments of instructions saying this is incorrect
At 900 bucks you can keep it!
Ok I will 😅 each to there own 👍🏻
Nice one. Surprising how many people still argue to the hilt just based on what someone told them, even some instructors. The source material is readily available and pretty easy to understand so good to see that you have helped de bunked a few myths for a few people.
Thanks James 👍🏻 this has actually surprises me that some people after just doing a course have not been told this and been told the opposite. I think some instructors may need some re-educating
whats your source for the information that you only need 1 anchor point with a rope that has an unobstructed run to the floor? Obviously we can ascend and descend on one line but for cutting i am pretty certain you need 2 anchors and lanyard.
I’m following TG1 guide book. So using a saw in the tree you only need 2 points of attachment so a main line and a lanyard is good enough 👍🏻
Did you have you descent line on at all times with your flipline? That is so tedious. Any tips for keeping them working together?
Yes I kept them both on all the time due to having to do it like this in the Uk with being attached twice at all times. It’s not ideal but practice makes perfect 👍🏻
Well the industry is unregulated so il just continue doing what I want 😂 one rope for climbing and a lanyard for balance
You still need 2 anchors that reach the ground and the usual positioning lanyard when cutting anything.. so if you had just climbed this birch the way you did, that’s okay. But cutting anything is not!
That’s still not correct as long as you’re tied in twice while cutting is fine.
@@mickarblifehave you got a copy of tg1 I’ve realised I’ve never properly looked at the whole thing. I’ve only even been told or seen snippets of it.
@@elchevinit yes I have TG1 to TG5 and that’s where I’m getting the info from
It has to be two anchor points that reach the ground though. So this isn’t legit? This is how we’ve always done it and it’s not what they want.
Sorry but the that is incorrect only 1 rope needs to reach the floor. This is why I have shown this that you can get away with just 1 rope that reaches the floor and a lanyard 👍🏻
@@mickarblife I will look into it again but I was certain the whole thing was having two separate anchors on main lines/anchors that reach the ground and anchors that are both life supporting. So you are saying as long as you don’t move you can be suspended on one anchor point and as long as both your main anchor and your lanyard can suspend you (lanyard over a branch/peg/union) if you cut one of them, you can cut with just a lanyard and a main line anchor point? That doesn’t make sense still as that’s how it’s always been. *One anchor and a lanyard/two connection points when cutting*
@@elchevinit yes as long as you don’t move you can move one of your systems and reattach it. So in small trees like this you can climb just like you always have no difference to the good old days. When your cutting you will have 2 attachments like we always have so no different there.
@@elchevinit have a Quick Look in the community chat I have taken a picture of where it says in the TG1 book
@@mickarblife I still thought it had to be two anchor points that reach the ground and when cutting two anchor points with a third line being an a working positioning lanyard for cutting!
I was trying to convince my boss to let me run a controlled speedline today, but he's too macho and old school for that
It works so well on the right job. Allows for larger rigs and it all goes to the chipper so win win in my eyes
@@mickarblife Even nicer when you can get it that far, but actually this was a lower, wider spreading tree that spanned three back yards, and one was locked and inaccessible. I wanted to send bigger pieces rigged flat with a spider leg, and with the weight supported my a lowering line so as to be able to clear the fence. There was a place to anchor the speedline so that we didn't have to haul all the weight over my just pulling a tag line. His way worked, but was exhausting; he works harder not smarter. Luckily it was a friday, and we all had time to recover.
Man i love that like y tf didn't i think of that definitely going to use it
Cheers for the vid. I notice you are not using the FTC freexion device here. How are you finding it compared to the Apex these days? I have the Apex and rate it highly. Cheers
I just swap and change to keep things exciting haha. I really like them both to be fair.
