Hey hey, gotta revive this thread...
I thought with the latest craze being dead tree removals I'd post up some pics of our
MASSIVE(jks) (10-12m
) dead tree removal we did a few weeks back.
Dead n leaning radiata pine, tied in my highline to its alive brother radiata pine... I used a Martin Hitch w/pulley for the added manouverability/efficiency of one handing my hitch...
The dead tree
Going up
Highline in brother radiata pine
Topped the tree with a hand held section
Tops ahoy! In this pic you can see I'm higher then my highline... Although it didn't take much of my weight, it definately helped me balance on that awkward side lean (the lean being in the direction of the photos were taken)
