Looks like mid 1980's bucket work from here.

I enjoyed the video. Thank you for sharing. It takes me a few tries with smaller/less critical pieces to get an idea of the weight for the tree species and season before getting it right, but I'll also do this when the pieces have room to fly.

Are there things you would have done safer or more efficiently using newly practiced methods? I'd like to know. Thank you.

Thank You for Posting this Video.

Definitely nice when you can do it. If there was a house/structure under this tree Im sure you would have done it diferently

If you've don't much bucket work you'd know this was bucket work 101. Extremely basic stuff, even after editing.


Three things that come to mind without watching the video again:
1) Don't cut limbs so they 'spear' into paved areas.
2) Keep your saw sharp so it throws chips, not sawdust.
3) Cut decent wedges.

I was a little peeved about the saw. I went on vacation and came back to a dull saw. I bought that saw over the summer and had never sharpened it. Used strictly from the bucket. And no file because the key was left on in the truck that has them...

The battery on gopro died just as I made first cut on the backside limbs. You would have freaked out if you saw them helicoptering as they swung out 40 feet past the tree, then smashing back into the trunk. Lots of fun.

Can never have too much of the basics.

I for one appreciate what you contribute Daniel.

Basic stuff? I don't know..... looked ok to me. Multiple redirects using X-rings seems a little farther along than mid 1980's.

Guess I'm not sure what "advanced" bucket work would look like. Name of the game is getting wood down safely and efficiently. Whatever works.
