Slip N' Slide

the only form of traffic control being used is the farmer in the blue vest spotting for us while I am out over the 80 kms section of road and swinging stuff back over to the road side verge :nocausagracia:
not dodgy to some eh?

You guys use traffic control?

Yeah playing strictly by the rules that was a mandatory traffic control job. of course we could have waited till traffic control was organised, drove out to the site and set up, but if the wind had picked up there was a good chance of that tree failing onto the road and we have already experienced multiple accidents including a fatality on that section recently due to trees failing on that road.

emergency Euc removal next to a main road due to a co - dom leader failing at the root base.
normal considerations were suspended in order to facilitate this removal
yeah I know this is not standard sop so you are going to see some dodgy things ok?

Ha ben, I see the dodge you are referring to.... Were you getting a lot of movement on that partially failed base while you were up there? I def would have been a little keyed up being tied into that and roping off of it. I could see you making some larger cuts in maybe shall we say not optimal positions so you could get that fucker taken care of quick like. Nice work, way to stay calm(at least on the outside;)) in a bad situation.
 
Hey Court get outa my head :ROFLMAO:
yep you are reading it like some old gypsy lady peering at tea leaves.
def agree about some of the cuts vs body positions and one handing at those positions, this tree kept moving even after all the rigging had been done and kept moving in a unnatural way even after the blocking down had stopped.
given the rainfall I slammed it down hard before the wind came sweeping back through the valley while I was riding the stick :cry:
not the most exciting vid but I was def on alert mode spider sense tingling.
:cool:
 
Most excellent, as always. Not once (at least on camera) did you scream like a little girl and yell, "We're all gonna die!" which I do sometimes just looking up into the tree.
Ok, I only really do that when my wife comes along to help drag brush, cuz it freaks her the fuck out. But still, some of that stick wiggle was creepy as hell.
