    Old Growth fir topping

    Couple tops from Cathedral Grove this week. It all I really had time to video. First shows a 35ft top cut at approx. 200ft. Second is a big leaning top cut at 150. Unfortunately because the camera/climber is attached to the tree, it doesn't really pic up the extent of motion experienced by the...

    High Topping - Cathedral Grove

    Been up at Cathedral Grove, couple of miles up island, helping out another company. Mainly hazard tree work....topping, falling blasting etc. I was just there for the climbing. Some pics from a dead fir. Had to resize to low res for the forum, so not so clear. Tree was probably 220ft. Left it...

    Swing chest harness

    Paul. Great job. I will never be without it from here onwards. No rubbing or irritation; no breathing restrictions nor choking risk. Light as a feather, don't even know Im wearing it. Tends my hitch beautifully. The best system I've used by far. Thanks again

    hillside fir take down

    This fir take down was part of a recent job of about 12-14 trees. Approximately 165 ft tall, but easy work. The log was the hard part....at least, safely getting the bottom part down the hill on my own today....rigging and roping of sorts. Lots of pics.

    Fir tree pruning W/rope wrench

    We do a lot of tip reduction on firs. Fast growing with often brittle and end weighted limbs that pop off indiscriminately....reduction pruning seems the most logical in and around residential areas. Several times Ive tried to video this type of work....but gave up part way through because it...

    Standing stem logging

    If you've never heard of this. The selected trees in a forest are stripped, topped and appropriately flagged. They are then cut at the bottom all for a strip of holding wood in the centre....and picked by sky crane helicopter at a later date. A better alternative to clear cutting I believe. Some...
