Removal on failry steep, snowy hill

[Raven27]

I'm no editing guru, but here you go. I know people will say something about all the stubs left, had my reasons, ( stand on them for one, these suckers got skinny at the top. I don't have footage of my ground guy doing a horrible job with porty, he gave me a vicous ride on first top, so out of irritating I decided to just get high in the rest and bomb the smaller tops. He was late se in the beginning of video he had no gloves, or gear on. I was irritated after gaffing myself in the heel, so I made him get right to it finishing the last bit of the Maple in the begining of the video. Enjoy, critique, advise away... Thanks Oh and all the small branches were from speedline day before.

I always find it funny when things happen on somebody else's video I hold my breth as if I was there doing it. I was holding my breath watching that one log flip end over end towards the fence.

I was holding it too, as I didn't plan well there. Wasn't expecting to hit that stump. If I had the audio, you can hear me yell NO!!!!!

Not bad at all...if you zip lined it that would have been a long one.

I was going to zip line, until my now former ground guy was not only late that day, left for 10 minutes to make money shoveling snow next door while I was looking for him, but he hacked my 1/2" polydyne rope I would have used for it in half.

Good vid all I can say is don't leave stems in the tree with punji ends on them stub them or gut to the trunk. I only say this cause from doing it before and put one about 3/4 inch through the meat of my hand between my thumb and pionter finger. Slipped a bit and grabbed and well now a nice reminder why not to leave pointy ended cuts in the tree. good job and keep safe.

Nice work and nice choice of music. Moby Dick and Bonzo on the drums is one of my favorite tunes.

Absolutley good point. I did want some short stubs to secure flipline over, but really should have been more concious of the pointed ones.
