Hey guys Czech this out

Just me I had a cool job today and I wanted to share

Hand saw on that small stuff would be easier and quicker.

I did think about doing that but my hands get very sore using the hand saw idk why

…what!

This reminds me of a walnut I was deadwooding back in my rookie days in Brooklyn. It was in a park in the promenade, and part of the tree dropped down like 150 feet to the BQE (very busy highway). I skipped that section of the tree…

 

[Neill]

Nice,
I wonder how many motorists noticed you up there

 

[Brocky]

Just the very few who weren’t on their phones.

I would have cut them off if using a chain saw, you showed a lot of skill.

 

[Mick Dempsey!]

I hate step cuts.
Exhausting and unreliable

Unreliable perhaps, but why do you find them exhausting?

Cos you have to make two cuts, with precision, often more if you have not done enough.
Compared to one straight through, over a hundred cuts, it’s tiring

True, but if you aren't using a handsaw and have no rigging it's step cuts or one-handing. Pick your poison I suppose.

 

[Mick Dempsey!]

Or a sling on your hand, cinch the piece, one cut safely..

Who am I kidding? I’m a one hander, scars to prove it.
But that little Echo is a dream for just that.

I will say I’ve practiced the step cut with small removals. Like I’ve got it down to where I can leave a tiny tree standing but with the entire tree in snap cuts. It took years to understand different fibers and weight

Funny thing I showed the video to my boss and he was like ‘I could’ve closed the lane for you’. At last bosses are always thinking about safety and not about “aura farming”

Thanks man.

I thought some one would honk at least but no one did

 

[Bart_]

Great finesse demonstrated, and confidence. Me, I would have safety backed up the cuts with two small slings one to anchor one to girth the piece as a catch tool just in case. biner them together. small gives the least swing extension

One time pruning a maple overhanging via branch tip swing a busy roadway we timed the rhythm of the traffic lights and traffic flow and rigged, prepped then made the cut timed to the empty seconds of traffic flow. We then post handled the pieces as the vehicles whizzed by.

Good demo of lanyard to local work spot, snugging it up, although almost counterintuitive because pulling you downwards

I saw a guy working on a removal late in the afternoon, in a backyard next to a main through road, he was just done tying on the block, and I shouted up "Yea Boi!!", and gave me back the loudest whistle I've ever heard. I am sure people noticed, but I bet most people were worried that they would be braking your focus or something.

That actually makes sense

I wasn’t even thinking about that last part. I was thinking of how low I could still feel balanced enough to snap cut a larger piece
