Day In Day Out

[Stihlmadd]

Monday contracting in the Adelaide hills.
bit of speedline, bit of rigging, bit of smash down and some nice bombing out.
'first to go and last to know.'
cause it was easier to film it than explain it.

Good work Ben. an eye for details makes for good looking and showing .. Liked that song as well .. made me feel lucky . Breezing chunks down with pleasure as they just miss everything by small amounts of gaseous matter in between flying wood and in compromisable targats or the ability to brush it sweetly by.."merely a flesh wound"type targats and you win the game either way . What a job and what a life .

Great vid oh brother of the yellow tape. Every time i watch one of your videos, just for a fraction of a nano second Im like, "thats my saw" and then Im like speed lines rock!!!! Im ADHD that way.

 

[Stihlmadd]

What a job and what a life .

Thankyou Aaron - you have nailed it in one sir - I just love this shit some days and if I am lucky they remember to pay me.

Great vid oh brother of the yellow tape.

I understand Brother , really I do - looking out for your saws should be second nature, my hackles go up when I see some unknown any where near mine.
glad you enjoyed it , not a big speed liner myself but it sure does have it's time and place it the arsenal of tricks.
made this to show the X-man what I was up against that day as a contract climber it is always a surprise and it was easier to film the job then show it than to try and explain the complexities via text.

so that team up with Levi? cough cough...

I havent heard from Levi in a while. I was gonna send a crane climber job his way but the guys that were running the outfit were unknowns and kinda shady. I may have to just take the inititive and buy a go pro

Red Gum Eucalyptus, Ben?

 

[Stihlmadd]

sorry Treelogic it is Eucalyptus Obliqua: the messmate stringy bark tree.
It grows as a tree up to 90 metres tall, with a trunk up to three metres in diameter. It has a lignotuber, so burnt or coppiced trees sometimes recover in mallee form. It has thick, rough, stringy bark, and glossy green leaves from six to 22 centimetres long, and 1½ to 7 centimetres wide. Inflorescences consist of seven to 15 white flowers. The fruits are barrel-shaped.[2] Currently, the tallest known specimen is 86 m tall and located in Tasmania.[3] Historically, qualified surveyors have documented trees up to 98.8 m (324 ft).[4]
there you are Worthaug.
