Nice job. Given the decay in the tree you had to have had some GOOD faith in the limbs you had the pulleys rigged to. On a couple of occasions I was expecting the weight of the piece you were swinging to bring the piece it was hanging from down with it.
I had the same question about spikes: Why did you choose not to use them?
I always appreciate how you never put that other kind of annying music in your videos like others do. It's always easy listening and I don't have to turn off the sound!
GB the video was great. Bought your Spruce climb video and Really started me into SRT along With dunlap and Oxman and Phillips....the world is better for us trying to keep them growing.
first time i ever seen two people in a tree doing a removal in usa its against osha law. Why dont you all have spikes on. But other than that good job.
Well,, I will first say that- yes, you got it down without any liability, but there was most certainly frequent acts of haphazardness. Using blocks or not, you guys took way too many chances with your work lines. Running 800Lb. logs and swinging them 60' through open air? Not very bright. Not for the equipment or worker safety. Running a complete top to the ground with a false? What's the point of rigging one? You guys obviously had'nt had rope failure in some time have you?
Good takedown,groudwork was pretty average. The idea of dynamic safe lowering is to get the piece to the ground as fast as possible(if there is a safe fell site)or slowly deccelerate to take the shockload out of the picture.Alot of the log lowers are let hang and almost swing back hitting the climber DANGER!!.Aswell as that if you have done your load dimensioning you would know that the log holds most potential on the peaks of its pendulum swing,so letting it hang and swing is DANGER.
If it wasn't for your ground guys, you suck. I'm impressed but I think you could have taken bigger cuts. Didn't you have a bull rope. Nothing but big cut baby lol!!!
Not so obvious in the vid, but there were structures below that had to be avoided. Number one was,,, grape vines, of all things, and then underground services. Still fragile to impact.
There was a lawn under one side of the tree and underground sprinklers. On the other side there were Cabernet grape vines.
The tree was dying because of the fertilizer and watering of the lawn. Too bad. Those valley oaks don't take well to summer irrigation. Causes fungus attacks on the roots. Amillaria usually.
id like to see how you got the rest of the tree down!

How come you guys had to rope everything out? you have to haul everything out?

strops and pulleys on the wider branches would have prevented some of the danger. swinger heavy timber past LIFE lines for exmple.
