Well yesterday it was my dad's birthday and he was as sick as a dog, today he was bed ridden. So luckily for me my GF stayed home and she came and was my groundgirl for the day.

We took down a Malaleuca of some sort I think it was. It was basically top n flop. The tree's roots were lifting his cement path next to it, aswell as the foundations on his tool shed and house. Aswell it had 3 co dominent's.


My groundie bringing in the gear.


That's the tree with me in it, pity it had to go.


Top n Flop with the Polesaw.


Two slings, one steel carbiner rated at 32kN, one wedge and away she went (it didn't hit the house, the pic is just an illusion).


Proof :P

I really need to get myself a helmet cam (At the cost of my mesh visor : ( ), so we can get some good vids going rather then just pics
