Todays crazy job

[ QUOTE ]
We also placed a storm anker in this tree. There was one leader with a bad joined forlk. The rope we used for this has a safe working load of 70kn.

Is the "storm anker" what we in the US would call a support cable? And the rope in the pic is the 'storm anker'? What brand is it? It doesn't look like anything that I've seen before. Is it a Dutch product?

Thanks.

Mahk,

The rope is a fairly standard 3 strand morring rope used in shipping. What brand it is i'm not sure actually.

It's quite a dynamic rope so you don't need a rubber dildo like with the cobra /forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif

The anker is hang in loosely, and only their as a back-up, should the leader break out the anker will prevent material damage.

Nope, no felling. It was about 85' or a bit more. Had to get it down to about 45' before I could drop it. When I did, that cut was in the side, so I was a little more uneasy than I would usually be. No surprises, but it was a different scenario.
 
Hey Treeman,

Wat that a complete removal or a trim? That thing has a good lean out over the water how did you get all the cut pieces back to the shore?
 
Ok, I was going to say with that much of a lean on the tree anything roped would have to have a seperate tag line on it and the ground crew would have to pull like heck to get it to shore. But your method sounded like the easiest and as long as it worked that's all that mattered.
 
It was mostly small stuff. The largest branch was about 4" dia and 8' long and that one broke while I was standing on it. Here is a picture when it was done.
