Knuckleboom near wires

[allmark]

This is a job from a month or so ago. I didnt have alot of footage due to all the ground work. In all there were 8 or 9 trees along the wires.

[allmark]

[Cameron]

Nice video mark, also, anyone else see the video in u tube of the crane failure while doing tree work. Not sure if it's an old post but definently scary to watch.

 

[Kevin]

Yes, two crane.
Just wondering why the climber was so high above the cut?

 

[Colin]

Something DOES look weird.

 

[allmark]

That was me. I was tied in to a second crane. i will have to rewatch it to find that spot.

It was just were it was comfortable at that time. No reason in particular.Ive had some shoulder and upper arm issues so its easier than cutting overhead when possible.
