Poplar Wreck

[Reg]

Thought I d share some pics with you guys, from a job this week. Some restrictions down below, such as a duck pond, fence, neighbours garden and glass house....and the adjacent trees. Some rigging, small free falling, then big bombs at the last stage.

Two great guys on the ground Darryl and Dave, both climbers also. An great with a camera as it turned out.

Theres a lot of pics, might have to do it through several posts. thanks

That was a lot of messing about deleting pics after I'd uploaded. For some reason it kept double posting the photos

Did the spars pop apart when you cut that grafted limb?

 

[Reg]

Thanks.

I did get some video Jack but not the time to do anything with it yet.

Id say a little over 130 Jon. I could be wrong though, but thats an honest estimate and not just treeman bull$hit.

Good eyes chewbacca. It hadn't actually bonded, just grown around and locked. It was actually a 3rd-half way through the big stem....so I didnt cut it free until the very end. Yeah it did wobble some at that moment.

What's treeman bull$hit?



You're still the man, Reg, thanks that looked like a lot of work. Posting that is.

It's like fisherman's bullsh$t.

Nice work reg

Great work as usual Reg. Technical rigging is fun but some days it feels so good to just be able to bomb out those big chunks!
