This Pin Oak (Quercus Palustris) was growing inside the roof line. A little more complicated than your usual felling or bucket trucking.

Good eyes-That is incorrect way to thread. Should have taken the bight and run it through the upper loop and under the peg.

2:57 hate when that happens the groundie has to let it run a little more
-
awsome work but....who the hell built this house or was this an addition to the house? lol
-
the climber wasted a lot of effort by taking the pieces in 2 or three cuts when they easily could have been take in 1. He alos one hands on a high cut which was very dangerous... one handing may be acceptable in certain situations, but not when you are waving the saw over your head like a flag..

Bravo! Stout rope for those rounders!
-
cant decide whether you guys are inspired or nufties, PPE? wheres the consideration for poor mister groundie if the midpoint tie in on those blocks slips out? would it hurt to run the tag line on the block itsself not the pulley you would have better control to stop the swing back at the climber.otherwise you got balls and guts to do a good job in difficult position with out a crane being employed. Nice one!

Interesting seeing guys do things different than what is our style. Was refreshing to watch. It was done very well.

Nice job buuuoooooooyyyyyysssss

that could have been a good cantidate for a zip line while taking down the top imho. I like that rigging set up for the trunk but couldn't you have used a block with a tag line on the chunks to pull them out and away? nice clean removal though! good to see others doing the work that carefully.

Good over all, but teach your ground man how to thread the port-a-wrap correctly, you could completely loose your friction the way its wrapped at 1:46.
