    SRT canopy anchor with cambium saver & controlled retrieval

    After quite a few requests for a video on my anchor setup and retrieval, I made this video after remembering to film te retrieval part :) Here we are with 2 climbers. And normally we connect our climbing lines individually to the access line. But here my friend's end of the line was too short...

    Cuising a beautiful line in a massive London plane

    This was such a beautiful line! I reduced the tops of these massive limbs because of some mechanical issues, but I don't show the pruning itself in this video. Some of the main mechanical features why I pruned the way I did are not on video... And it is difficult to show this clearly with the...

    Little trick passing a natural redirect

    Just one way to pass a natural redirect without unloading the climbing line. Using my lanyard through the union is something I started doing when making fixed redirects under tension, which makes that much easier. I tend to do this a lot lately..

    A master in the art of living

    Just wanted to share this beautiful poem :) This reflects so much how I feel about my work and play as an arborist. I choose to not use the most interesting footage with this poem to let the words sink in a bit better..

    Dead willow winching

    It doesn't always have to be big trees to be fun. The laurel bush was kind of sacred for the owner, so we had fun puzzling this tree apart without (or minimal) damage to the laurel. The anchor tree next to the dead willow was an Acer negundo, so we were pretty careful with the force vectors on...

    unedited climbing a huge old oak (quite boring stuff)

    The reason I started filming my climbing and pruning was to be able to watch and learn from it afterwards. Many times when I see myself climbing from my comfortable chair, I notice things that I could have done more efficient, and notice where I am losing time and/or energy... Only after a...

    Just a beautiful Oak hotel

    not a big one, but a beautiful veteran tree with so much microhabitats… We were asked to prune the dead wood for safety, so I just took of the wood that I could take by hand or a swing with my lanyard from time to time... For the rest I was just touristing around and enjoying this beautiful tree.

    Re-pollarding old beeches at a graveyard

    In the old graveyard of Roermond, The Netherlands, are these 4 old pollard beeches that haven't been pollarded in quite a long time. The city had a report made by a European Tree technician, and the advice was to bring the trees back into pollarding cycle in 3 Phases. This is the first phase...

    Huge beech pruning

    What a gorgeous tree this was to climb! This absolute massive and beautiful tree has been pruned pretty hard about 20 years ago (estimation), and there were a few big limbs with big (20 years old) reiterations growing straight up. Two limbs were cracked and resting on other limbs already, so to...

    Just fun climbing in a beautiful white Oak

    Just some fun climbing in this beautiful white oak. There was much more and bigger dead wood that I took out, and this is a place where children play underneath the trees... but here I just want to show some fun climbing. The techniques I used here like the canopy anchor with cambium saver and...

    Le Grand Beech

    One of the nicest projects I have done :) This beautiful beech is already retrenching its crown. The whole top and big scaffolds are dead, and under this massive dead crown there is a very lively new crown with a beautiful structure! We tried to spare is as much as possible given the...

    Meripilus beech reduction

    This beech had a tensile test because of Meripilus giganteus. It needed an overall reduction of a few meters. In this video my goal is to show the whole climb and work, but a bit faster and enjoyable to watch... Maybe it is a bit too fast sometimes, but I tried to show a lot of climb in just the...
