We've been working on taking down this tree the last week or so; just got a gopro so thought I would put it to use enjoy.

A lot of nice plants were wasted in the making of this video. lol

Nice job. Looks like tricky work with those vines?
 
Haha yeah those vines just make it more time consuming as you have to cut a lot of crap out of your way before making your cuts. Pretty norm though in wet areas on the island.

Yes the saw was pretty dull but at that height with one ground guy learning to sharpen I'm not about to come out of the tree to fix. Along those lines we did another ficus last week again nothing exciting trying to get used to the gopro. We've got some euc rigging this weekend which should be a little more exciting hopefully I'm liking the gopro it's pretty slick, it is a bit awkward at first sticking that far off your head...

yea, it's slick... you get used to it. They do make a front helmet mount that looks a lot more sleek.

I will admit, I've filed a 200 in the tree.
 
Banjo anytime give me a heads up but there's always work here! Actually I would love to do a work swap as I like to get to the mainland to do tree work occasionally so if anyone's interested let me know,

My mounts in the same spot. But they make a different mount thing, that bends around to put the camera pretty much on your forehead.

Hey Bonner, any chance we can get a diagram here?
 
Yo Jesse there's a few guys out here that are talking about doing a circuit and hitting up a few in a row in the spring. I'm hoping to at least make one or two comps this year they're always a good time and I usually end up learning something new every year.

You are always welcome Jesse just let me know when you want to come out and we'll work it out. I have a garage with a couch and an airbed not the hyatt but it works!

Ian the bmg + mini is a game changer. I'm already thinking GEHL later this year if I can make the $ work...

Flat file, maybe , but more importantly a climber should not leave the ground with a dull saw.

If you climb trees and leave the ground with a dull saw you are a novice!

A climber is top dog on site. You lead by example!

Sharpen everything before you leave the ground!!!!

Lead by example!!!!!
 
Damn chop you should start charging for your advice, it's mind blowing. Now here's some advice for you, write by example. If you have to use an exclamation sign 10 times in your post you ARE a novice.

I bet you're great to have on a crew :thumbsdown:

That's cool seems like it would get caught up in brush less. I'm trying to upload the euc vid on youtube in high def but it is taking a long time hopefully it will go through we'll see.
