new red wing shoe commercial---tree work

[brendonv]

Very nice vid. Clean, clear, professional.



Their boots suck!

Awesome commercial. I felt like i was at work!

I have tried so many red wing boots, but they really are heavy and cumbersome...got some collecting dust right now ( will just give them away soon )....just prefer backpacking boots...new arbpros anyone????? Yes me.....

 

[TreeLogic]

at :46 seconds I was like, "Don't spike the crane strap, don't spike the crane strap..."

 

[Raven]

Haha, that was a six hr job compressed into 90 seconds. You missed a lot, but no strap spiking.

The crew was really on top of their game that day but even so a couple of safety violations made it through the final edit. They wouldn't allow me to review the material because it belongs to RedWing so I didn't have a chance to catch the mistakes, did you?

 

[Frax]

Very nicely done! That will be nice to watch over abd over down through the years too. Show the kids and grandkids.


I think that is the little Gehl 140. We are getting one of those in a couple weeks. My back is already thanking me.

 

[bwktreeserv]

Awesome commercial! Top notch work! I only noticed one safety violation kind of.. chipping with strap on chaps on? What else was there?

BTW, that Gehl is sweet. Found some "used" prices but had trouble finding a price on a new 140. What do they run?

 

[cory]

That is a great vid, something to be proud of, and something most anyone could watch and find interesting.

 

[Frax]

The Gehl would be something around $26 to 28 G with no attachments. I can't remember if that would be with duals or not.

 

[AspenArbo]

Cross handing the saw and the chaps while chipping is all that I noticed.

Still hands and feet way better than some other 'company' they could have showed doing a removal...

 

[TLHamel]

Ground worker had the rope wrapped around his hand.

 

[TreeLogic]

My favorite scene is @ :57 seconds when you sink the "big saw" in and the chips go flying! Is there a better profession than this?

 

[TreeLogic]

Raven, question...and yes, I've been watching this video too much.

On that 2nd to last crane pick, where the hollow piece of trunk is being lifted, I'm trying to figure how it was strapped on. I see 4 different sling legs going up but no girth around the log.

 

[Raven]

Bore cut two windows thru the hollow log, make sure there's plenty of meat to support the piece you want to lift. Two straps basket hitched thru the windows. I have used this technique even before we saw it done for the big Tulip removal at Monticello on the cover of the TCIA mag.

Nice. I must've missed that issue. Is the purpose that the basket is a stronger hitch than the girth, or is it for better balance?

Cool Video. In one section of the film, it looked like the clutch cover/bar was on the left side, instead of the normal right hand side. Wonder how the camera crew did that.....
