  • Immerse yourself in the world of advanced arboriculture with this captivating visual guide to hazardous tree removal. Set against the backdrop of a picturesque English village, this video meticulously documents the removal of a 250-year-old sycamore, located adjacent to a 13th-century church. Experience the high stakes and precision required to protect the cherished historical surroundings, including ancient gravestones and a beloved church wall.
    What You'll Witness:
    Preparation and Planning: Every step is planned to ensure the safety of the village heritage. The video opens with a scenic view of the village, setting the stage for the intricate work to come.
    Rigging and Cutting Techniques: Watch as we employ a Hinowa 20.10 MEWP (cherry picker) to access the upper reaches of the tree safely, demonstrating the strategic positioning and movement required for such delicate operations.
    SafeBloc in Action: The Notch SafeBloc, mounted on a whoopie sling, plays a pivotal role, adding critical friction where needed and protecting the rigging lines from excessive wear and tear. The setup and adjustment processes are shown in detail, highlighting the ease of use and effectiveness in a real-world scenario.
    Expert Knot Tying: The art of knot tying is showcased with close-ups of half hitches, bowlines, and stopper knots. These essential skills are displayed in their practical application, securing large timber sections safely for removal.
    Stihl 500i and Teufelberger Rigging Rope: These tools are vital in our operation, featured throughout the video as they cut through massive limbs and lower them with precision.
    Ground Operations: Observe the ground crew skillfully managing a GCRS device at the tree's base, a technique critical for maintaining control over the descending timber.
    Equipment and Logistics: A Toyota Hilux Arb Tipper, Forst TR6 Woodchipper, and an Avant 635 Mini Loader with timber grab are integral to our operation, handling logistics seamlessly and efficiently. Each piece of equipment is highlighted, showing its role in the workflow of the site.
    Careful Navigation Around Obstacles: Special attention is given to techniques used to prevent any damage to the church wall and the permanent bench. The video includes slow-motion segments that emphasize the precision and care taken during these critical moments.
    Educational Value for Trainees: While the video features no narration, the complexity and careful execution provide a rich learning experience for apprentices and trainees watching, illustrating best practices in tree rigging and removal.
    This video is not just a demonstration of cutting-edge tree removal techniques; it's a tribute to the arborists' skill and dedication to preserving history while advancing the field of tree care. By omitting narration, the video invites viewers to focus fully on the techniques and beauty of the process, offering a tranquil yet profound understanding of the work that goes into safe and efficient tree removal. Whether you are a seasoned professional or an aspiring arborist, this video serves as an invaluable tool for understanding the depth of skill and preparation involved in managing hazardous trees in sensitive environments.

      I used to live on the west coast but sometimes you’ve got to use your brain .
      When it’s hardwood, there is compost and rot in the union and you’ve not got time to slow the piece down properly you’ve got to adapt. A lot 3x this size would be breaking something or someone.

    Definitely worth upgrading to a newer go pro and scrapping the music in favour of a voice over. Great work though nice one

      Cheers for the feedback. The Go-Pro is getting old and I nearly did a voice over for this one too. Just wanted to try a different style to see if there was a difference.
      Was a real windy day so the music covers a lot of the noise so thought it would be better. Appreciate the comment 👍

    Just wondering what is the point if the friction through the eyelets? Is it to lesson the force at the top of the tree rather than being through a pulley that creates a double load of pressure at the pulley point and other side of rope

    • @LukeDJohnson
      @LukeDJohnson  3 месяца назад

      From the Notch Website:
      “SafeBloc is a triple hole thimble that adds friction in the rigging system to the top of the tree, thus adding safety by reducing rigging point stress, compared to a system that uses a block or pulley. Also, with the benefit of friction, the climber can often take over on the rigging line AFTER the groundperson controlled the initial drop. This is true on small-to-medium loads. This frees up the groundperson to use both hands and the climber can FINISH the lowering.”

      When you’re climbing the tree…in other words standing ON the trunk in a pair of hooks…the SafeBloc makes for a much smoother ride.

    Luke please stop using music in your video. Most people want full raw start to finish videos where they ( the viewers ) want to hear you speak and explain how you do what you do, and why you do want you do.
    ( what equipment your using, why did you make that type of cut, ect )

    ill be honest watching you put a half hitch on that first piece made me irrationally angry. the only reason for a half hitch is so the running bowline doesn't slip off the log if you rigged just a running bowline in that crotch it will never in a million years slip off that chunk

    • @LukeDJohnson
      @LukeDJohnson  5 месяцев назад +7

      You’re right it won’t slip off but having the two knots will share the load together.
      Instead of 100% of the load being on one knot it’s split between the half hitch and the running bowline.

      Watching him put a half hitch first made you angry are you serious if that's the way he wants to set his rigging up then that's the way he wants to anybody can put their rigging any way they want why would it make you angry like what
