Nice one, no damage to the property or you 👊 I was Brickie all my life and the lads would take the piss out of me about my 10” trowel. I still got plenty down and my rist is still in good shape. Seeing you mastering the smaller saw reminded me. It is how you use it!! Stat safe Old Man Eflow ⚒️
@@johnnywolfe8485 Cheers geeza! The first big rigging section, I thought worst case scenario and pulled the logs with a tag line, plus I didn't want to ring you for a cash job repairing the finishing layer of bricks haha. COME ON ENGLAND! Cheers Eflow.
Thanking you! After watching your video on the triangle of death I had to feature the TOD in my next V - Rig. I will catch up on your latest videos. Enjoy your weekend!
@@metaspencer Thanks for the reply! You are the creator of the TOD terminology, so we must honour the power it gives us or the power to destroy us within the TOD haha.
Really appreciate the precision of all these cuts. Very cool to see you cut and guide each bit down with such moment by moment awareness (goes without saying when your life is on the line, but still...).
Enjoyed the video. I liked the use of span rigging for the spar pieces. Better control of heavy pieces. Good choice. Then again I'd probably cut smaller pieces and dropped them on a mat or tires.....or..... backed my truck up and lobbed them in the back as I cut them loose (like shot putting). How about cutting the two stems at length and just dragging them back to the shop with the truck. With any luck they would be ground down to little sticks if you traveled far enough. (Hey, just having a bit of fun with you. Maybe you smiled? You did good...better than me.)
@@havespurswillclimb Hey bro! Thanks for the comment. You made me laugh this morning....cut two stems & drag back to shop - best comment so far on the channel. I was telling the lads about your channel yesterday and how we got another 30 years of climbing ahead. Climb safe!!
Great job and great production. Given me some ideas to simplify getting rid of a large problem poinciana in my backyard, so thanks. Been wondering about getting a battery saw, currently run a husky 540xp but the start stop on the battery seems like it would be really convenient. Only do a few climbing trees each year so wonder if it is worth the investment? Subbed and keep being safe.
Appreciate the sub & comment. No worries, the more knowledge makes us all safer in the trees. I reckon a new saw is worth it. The hard trees become easier with the right saw on your harness. I climb with approx 5 different stihl top handles to keep things fresh. Good luck with the poinciana!
@@julianalderson3938 That was my first plan, but one lead was to close to the horse fence and would of damaged the adjacent tree and maybe punched a hole in the driveway. Ropes & GoPro!
@@brettblack7049 You made me laugh, the other stem was too close to a newly planted mature pear tree, so I ended up going in to 100% discipline climbing mode, plus the other driveway I didn't want to damage.
@ArcaneArborWolfe gotta do what you gotta do to make the customer happy. I do everything I can to avoid climbing, many times that means I just turn down the job. When you work by yourself and aren't s proficient climber, it's wise to avoid climbing alone as much as possible. Have a great week.
@@brettblack7049 We are completely opposite. I start fabricating worst case scenarios in my head if the tree is 50 / 50 climb or fell, so I always put a rope up and do what I do best ( control freak ) dismantle the tree down. I checked out your RUclips, you got some good felling videos up. Likewise bro, enjoy your week.
@@thegreenrevival4424 That was my plan, but the client didn't want any holes in their driveway & anymore damage to the remaining brick wall. The quotation / amount reflected the tree surgery performed in the video.
I'ma say it again. Australia really is backwards / upside-down with everything. First time I made the comment was about being able to make the compression relief cut further away from the trunk than the tension release cut. That just can't be done with trees in my area (45N 75W). And now, the rigging is backwards too. The porta-wrap is normal. But the dead-eye sling is usually placed as the anchor in the taller tree, so the lower tree can be taken down with less moving of ropes, and the load rope is tied to the log that'll be falling since it needs to be un-tied at each fall either way; but at least the dead-eye will remain stationary for multiple falls. Methinks ya done made your job far more complicated than it needed to be, unless of course you're paid by the hour, which then makes complete sense. Never get paid by the hour. They're not paying for your hours of time on site, they're paying for your years of time spent learning how to do it so that your time on site is minimalized so they can enjoy the majority of their day without a stranger to be worrying about on their property. I do see what you're doing with the double anchor up top to make the log go between, but since you're lowering controlled, it all seems like wasted time, especially since one was laying on the brick anyway.
@@n085fs Australia is a strange place. The quotation, amount charged and methodology gave me time to not rush and put the GoPro on to capture the tree dismantle. The rigging is span or v - rigging, very common practice with modern climbers. The log on the brick wall, that is the section getting knocked down and replaced. If I was contract climbing the tree I removed, I would of done everything the same but replaced the porta wrap with a pulley block and put the porta wrap down on the ground for the groundie.
Hi, I like how you work on trees with a respect to them and you do not cut more than it is necessary, guy, Thank you!

@@troyerthedestroyer Cheers mate! The tree felt big after a full week of contract climbing haha.
Nice job on the span rigging (impressive for a one man job). Take it easy brother don't work too hard! Cheers!
@@ferminsuarez1131 Cheers bro! Solo climbing is never easy. The span rigging made the job run smoothly. Climb safe & enjoy your week ahead.
Spars looked like old bull horns
Nice bro, seemed kinda sound but yer liftin everything. Cheers
Wherw the structural danger down below to justify so much climbing?
@@Kaizen747 I couldn't fell the tree & my EWP licence has expired.
Some would just pull em over. But no fun. Cheers

Its called span rigging. Its a pretty common method used
