    Ziplining logs

    I've zipped out of trees a couple times... with a control line of course..

    Ziplining logs

    Text that I included with the video: This is a bunch of low-quality clips, some poorly filmed or not trimmed, but the tree was a huge 130', 52" plus dbh Douglas-fir, that had virtually no drop zone. We speed-lined the brush and most of the wood, over two structures. We had to start limbing in...

    Ziplining logs

    I have over 20 tb of stored data, most photos and vids. They're all organized by date shot. And all my data is backed up at last twice. That's three total copies. I think my images were shot with my first digital SLR... vids were with a little digicam. Quality was very low back then. I'm about...

    Ziplining logs

    Sure. A couple points. Eli had only climbed for a couple years at that time. And, as we were speed lining the wood, we had to stop the sections--in order to lessen the amount we needed to crank them back up, onto the speed line. Were you referring to Scott being sans helmet? He doesn't like...

    Ziplining logs

    Eli and Scott did OK. I had to walk them through a lot of stuff. Also, that behemoth was ~54" dbh. At about 35' up, I said fck this, drove 2 miles home, got some plywood for the fence and maybe a few tires, and chunked the rest of the tree down. Drop zone target was maybe 5x5', iirc.

    Will I see you in Tacoma and/or at NAOM Grant's Pass? Pictured tree is what's left of a dead hemlock old growth I helped remove Thursday (~190', 4+' dbh)

    If the mentally challenged idiot doesn't STFU, he might find himself in handcuffs or worse.

    Crane Tips Over

    I've done scads of work over the years with a local crane guy who has a 23 ton crane, with 92 feet of main boom. We've worked at a 50 foot radius, carefully. Taken 10,000 lb picks, close in.

    Crane Tips Over

    There's footage elsewhere. That tree easily weighed 6000 lb, and likely much more. The truck mount crane could be a 23 ton, maybe even 28. But its load chart would have been under 1500 at that radius, I'm sure. It's a wonder that company was still in business, after seeing that incredibly...

    'Free Tree Guy' Crushes a House

    Zero doubt that the tree owner is 100% responsible. His insurance won't put up a fight, imo, but may well give him a lot of grief and either cancel his policy or sue him for the damages. The cutter should and could face criminal charges, but likely has little or no assets to go after. If he is a...

    'Free Tree Guy' Crushes a House

    They mostly do removals, but that's an odd choice for a biz name, fo sho! David Stice, who also worked for and with me, used to be with Turning Leaf, who craned the tree off the house, would laugh at this mess.

    'Free Tree Guy' Crushes a House

    I would have.... depends of the position of the tree, of course. I'm now retired, as you prolly know, young feller, but do know that the going rates are likely higher here and in that high rent 'hood compared to Whidby.
