Castanopsis Rigging, North Ibaraki, Japan

[SoftBankHawks]

We spent 10 or so days pruning and removing trees on the east side of Japan. The video shows the rigged removal of a fair sized Castanopsis (Chinkapin).
The highline helped so much with the large and awkward shaped trunk.

Great video. Cool to see tree work thousands of miles away. Thank you for sharing.

That was awesome! That highline was a thing of beauty!

Thanks guys. The highline trunk anchors were all smoothly set and tensioned with just 1 anchor ring, set to pull with a 2:1.
