This whole stump thing is blowing my mind. I'd like to hear from Guy M. on this.

It'd blow your mind to see the juices pumping out of them when you cut them as well. We sure don't get that on the prairies. It goes to show trees don't need fertilizer just water will be fine.

I've seen 36" diam. one foot high doug fir stumps seal themselves. Amazingly hard to kill a tree in a rainforest.

That's root grafting, boreality. The cut stump is drawing energy from a nearby living tree's roots. It's very cool, and quite common.
By the way, great thread, Olly, and nice work.
I've speedlined since the late '80's, and done several sketch removals utilizing tight/high line systems, both for life support and rigging.

Nice video, good execution. Although the bagpipe music kept making me think of this busker (street performer) in my town.

I've been up that tree...
Previous owner had me take out broken leader. (New top next to grown over stump)
I told them they needed alot more attention to that tree.
I wonder if Bill and Cindy made him cookies? They are yummy

Nice example of creative use of rigging and roping with great control!
Dylan. I think you are bang on with this. Here is a good quick read that goes along well with this way of understanding.

I know it's been a while, but I'd love to see the video. It looks like youtube flagged the music.
