  • Excellent tree work GRU, love your rigging and your attention to safety. What a spactacular view you had on this particular Douglas-fir removal..I'm just curious as to just how tall this beauty was ?? Am I close with a guess of 150' ?? Thanks for the great vid.. safety first so no one gets hurt.... Steven A. Capizzi, retired Arborist at age 47....Due to an unfortunate Tumor found in my spinal cord in 2011 - I sure do miss being up there !!! Thanks for sharing

  • Nice Work Gru! I always like watching your stuff! Keep it safe!

  • Gru, was that all rigged with 5/8 rope, and what helmet cam was this recorded with. Everything about this video is awesome.. Also what lowering device did u use?

  • By far one of the best rigging vids I've seen on the tube. I like.

  • Wow that was whet running pitch

  • Ah, I miss the days when having a good groundsman you know, stress free and almost no talking necessary, makes for a great day in an awesome location, doesn't it?! Go Pro !

  • bad ass video gru, @ ms290guy1999. rigging blocks are a must for dropping heavy wood. check out any of the videos by "recoates" beech tree rigging has good examples. I use 5/8 stable braid with that same block and 5/8 tenex sling. i cant imagine not having it. Its a must when u have so much riding on your rigging. Stay safe out there guys. i just got a gopro hd helmetcam so ill be posting videos soon

  • @jonesbrent85 im probaly gonna have people say im wrong. i climb the trees some times an have never used a pully. i have cut some wood this big while climbing also. i have all the stuff except a pully. maby i will get one

  • y use the pully. i dont use one

  • @ms290guy1999 it not good to put the rope in the croch of the tree you can wreck your rope

  • @ms290guy1999 and how else would he rig that if he did not use a block

  • @jonesbrent85

    They used to rig it with a but tie. I dont suggest doing that though. Pulley blocks only came on the scene in the last 15 years.

  • that's bad ass gru!

  • nice view

  • was that set up a CMI block 3/4 sling and 5/8 stable braid?

  • nice! glad i aint got them trees down here in georgia tho. got enough evergreen here lol

  • Hello from Finland! Do you have the possibility to tighten the rope at the bottom because the logs seem to be 'jumping' down almost. I usually have a 90 degrees felling cut and still have to push the logs down even with smaller stuff... Keep save!

  • were is the rope attached  when the tree falls after

    being cut

  • ottimo lavoro,come al solito ciao

  • This wouldn't be a job you could show up stoned to.

  • at 3.25 you really can see that the world is round ;) haha, but i must say that even from my chair i found it a bit high..

  • Nice Work! Like the head cam action, rigging, and cutting! How do you like the Gecko's?

  • Good Job!!

  • Great work Gord! I especially like the way you used the bar at the 2 minute( Video elapse time) cut. lol Hey man good to see you in short sleeves,it was 95 here last week, global warming I guess... Be careful bro. D Lakeland FL
