Click on My computer then the dvd...you should see 2 titles then click on title 1 it should play.
The new disc arrived today, and IT WORKS! Sweet! I would LOVE to see that helo pilots take home pay! Crikey!
And I too was wondering why the climber left his rope in the starting tree. That was just asking for a hanger event.
And PLEASE tell me that climber had to piss bad orrrr something, cutting as fast as he was cutting! Were there lighting clouds off in the distance? I woulda moved just a tad slower and more carefully... just for laffs! ;^)
Hey Jerry, was that your voice I heard?

Hi, Butch
Glad you finally got a working version this time around. The video certainly leaves questions with the viewers, and that's why I felt it would be a good thing to spread it around, so it could be talked about. Some good safety concerns were brought up in this forum and I'll bet some of those points will make it back to Erickson.
Oh, none of my voice-over in that one, thank you.

its been a while since ive been on the forum. i actually left the tree care industry to become a helicopter pilot. i have done minimal slingloading operations ie tire into a barrel and that was stressfull enough..i have to give the pilots serious props and hope someday soon to break into the logging industry. i love flying but miss trees with a passion. this way i have the best of both worlds.

MB, that's a Brydan saddle.
Gerry, just got the DVD, thanks, some $ on your way soon.
I've watched most of chapter 1, but it keeps crashing two different viewers......will keep trying to see it all.
Pretty neat stuff for sure...grapnel use, fast cutting, only one tie in point, stems left teetering.....
I was interested though how they did that part, as with crane work, we always try to cut the piece totally free. A tiny section can be hard to break off. Those white pine came free pretty easiily.

I haven't been able to view it either. I just get the intro screen over and over? I will give it another try later.

Mark try my suggestion in previous post. I had the same problem until I opened it that way.
