    Good morning August, That gob of vines with a tree in it reminds me of my first big tree removal. My sister had three trees covered in vines so bad that she could not get a local tree company to climb and remove the trees. "I'll do it" I said. I rented an 85' boom with a 12' kicker and still had 16' of tree above me. It took me three days to cut and lower all the vine covered limbs and trunks. Worst part was the spiders. Big golden orb spiders. Invasive species, no kidding as big as my hand and there were dozens of them. I had to tape my pant legs tight to my boots. I had two franken saws and managed to keep one of them going till the job was done. I remember at one point a guy pulled up under the tree I was cutting and parked his car to talk on the phone. He got mad at me when I yelled at him. Smiling, George.

    I've recently learned something about myself, I think I'm a stress-youtuber. When i get stressed out I increasingly turn to youtube to chill out, and this is one of the first channels i look for in such a situation. So thank you team Hunicke for the momentary escape!

    Sitting here with a broken collarbone watching you and the crew having
    fun making hard work look easy..... again. I believe making hard work "fun"
    is a skill more people should have. Of course loving what you do makes a
    really big difference. Thanks August for taking the time to share another
    great video "sprinkled" with your little "nuggets of knowledge". 🤓
    Keep yourselves safe! 😃👍❤🌲

    Well this remind me of me and the fellas at work. Sure lucky to have a job that can be speed lined!! Most jobs we can't because of so much congestion being infinite obstacles it feels like at times. We do a controlled zip line/ speed line most the time from back yards clear over the house if conditions are suitable.(Not recommended without proper supervision of a expert) we attach a pully to the Bandit chippers carabiner on the winch! From there to the excavators bucket that has a special U bolt I've welded on! Then around a PortaWrap! Sometimes I'll just use a old flipline gold tensioner with a carabiner to the u bolt. Then when I pull slack out it stays put. Put a tag on the limb being cut then portawrap at the bottom of the tree like you using it regularly 1 to 2 wraps depending sized. Climbing cuts limb. Ground guy holds rope on portawrap then excavator backs up putting tension on the road and pulling the Rope tighter which lifts the limb up then G guy takes wraps off PortaWrap releasing limb to travel down speed line straight infront or beside chipper.
    Hard to explain honestly but works great.
    Love the content August..also try the old flipline gold tensioner if you want on z rig or m rig setup to be a progress capture device so to speak. Works better and hold more then you could imagine. 💪🏽👏🏼🤙🏼💯

  • @betternfred
    @betternfred 3 года назад

    Great video! Just a tip (which you probably already know); you can slow down equipment (chainsaw) a little better and have more control if you have it on two slings instead of one. You still wave the speed line back & forth but you have that much more control.

    Will you do an experiment for this armchair tree student (born in 1943)... Take two straight trees of same diameter. Cut a humboldt face cut in each. On one make straight back cut but leave wedges in just far enough to remove the saw. On the other one raise the back cut entry point 3 fingers and angle down to make the hinge. Now find out if the angled cut will produce more top over effect than the straight one using the wedges.
