Wow thanks for posting. That one video of the ride taking a big redwood top is intense!

We don't get that many videos on treebuzz of members doing big west coast conifer work, so I appreciate your contributions and hope to see more in the future.

Cheers!

Nice videos Rico. Do you not get sawdust in your eyes?! I get it in my eyes even with safety glasses.

Glad your enjoying the vids. The sawdust never seems to bother me much.

I had a friend who helped me in my early days who had extremely long eyelashes and refused to wear glasses cause the lashes brushed against them. Never once did he complain about sawdust in his eyes.

Other than chainsaw pants I don’t wear PPE as I like to hear, see, and feel my work environment. Drives some folks on the inter-web crazy, but it’s been working for me for a long time!

An Oldie but a Goodie! I want to acknowledge the man in the 2nd photo running the lowering device. Bruce “The Moose” Baker. The best teacher and mentor a young man could ever ask for. Thanks brother.
