awesome overkill, makes it very dangerous when there are so much people involving one removal where a crew of 3 would have been enough.
nice big tree though and nice vid.

Looks like they called Man Power to get some extra help..
I counted 17 guys also...Over kill for sure but nice job.

My Grade 9 french, unused for twenty years, suggests this was was a class for apprentices, thus the bulging staff complement.

wow seems a crime to cut such a huge tree like that down. it seemed healthy and alive. In the middle of an open space. Maybe trees like that are a dime a dozen in france, never been there. .

No doubt, I had the same thought. Crime
Like a big Atlas Cedar?

Did anyone catch part 1:

Dont think I've ever seen anything so bad, the whole thing. Heaven knows what else happened in the picks that were clearly edited out of the film....or why for that matter the constant inclusion of guys footlocking throughout.
The student's at least have some excuse, but the trainers should be fired for letting it unfold the way it does.

Wow. Nothing ever so bad! The whole thing...
@ 3:18 minutes I see what looks like fresh failure (broken trunk)
Then the real bad picks start @ 4 min. Also love the guy with the shovel load into chipper, Labor and Industries looking gal with yellow helmet, clip board. Nearby topped (decidious) trees are f'ing great too.
Go team

Re: check these guys out! AWESOME!
training never looks as cool as the real thing. having worked on and removed some giant Cedrus atlantica and Cedrus deodara out in northern california (never had the option of crane on them) they are challenging sometimes - long, strange shaped trunks with weird brush/balance issues. Nothing more slings couldn't fix - but they are big!
my guess is the rules and reg there might have inhibited the use of more slings and had them stick to chain?
enjoyed the video -

The chain thing is a bit sketchy to say the least. Is cable hard to come by in France?

Re: check these guys out! AWESOME!
awesome tree. So much of that tree could have been dropped in the open grass area it looked to me, unless some utility like a gas line under the ground or something. but i guess if it was training, maybe that's why.
that type of slip hook with chain doesn't allow chains to be shortened I guess, guess thats why the angled peices were just left to drop until the second chain caught it.
probably could have just used one chain or a single spot to balance better than that, or butt chain it and hinge it downward.
really a nice tree, video didn't show any major flaws that I saw.
i surely noticed the video edits, cause when i didn't like what i was seeing and was eager to see what was going to happen, there was then a jump in the film.

Those chains looked to be the rigging type with short chains at the top take up slack. I see no reason they couldn't have balanced those pieces better.

Why even teach the use of chains at the further disadvantage?
And not only the bad placement in the brush but to exaggerate the evident poor balance and release by slinging the butts at greater tension than the actual brush, as is always the case unless the butt chain/sling is consciously loosened a little.
Then you have chains biting on the gate side of the hook.
Massive gaps in those step-cuts on the logs....where even the bypass point in the wrong place also.
Even the miner details like guys slamming plastic wedges at head-height without eye protection right at the end....or head for that matter.
I rarely even watch bad treework videos let alone comment (unless its my own)....but I am at a loss as to what kind of training condones so much bad practice!
