Hi Streyken,
Firstly, I don't want to have a forum fight with you, OK?
I've been climbing long enough to know that it doesn't really matter how long you've been doing the job, what matters is your approach to your work.
I just feel the technique you've shown in the video is pointless.
When performing that technique do you ever hear a voice in your head saying, "gotta be an easier way of doing this"?
Multiple cutting/vertical bucking of a spar is a recognised technique in treeclimbing especially in confined areas or when you've got a tree that is unsafe to rig from, or too low to use rigging etc. I accept that notion.
But I try whenever possible when workjing down a spar to avoid cutting multiple discs/logs/small sections, as it is hard on the climber and a blatantly inefficient and unsafe way of working down a spar. You just end up getting frustrated and this leads to trying to go faster to get out of the tree, I've worked with over 30 experienced climbers of all ages, not one of them ever said they liked this technique, in fact they all actively tried finding ways to avoid using it.
Leaving the 1st log on top as you cut the 2nd as in your video is just adding insult to injury.
You or your boss must be under a lot of financial pressure if your goal is to work down the spar without ever letting go of the saw.
As for photos of my work, people here don't have to justify their opinions with material evidence, photos vids etc.
You can't claim authority over another member's opinion just because you've shown videos or photos of your work.
I'm still working out how manipulate and post photos, when I do, I'll be happy to accept opinions from people regardless of whether they've posted photos/videos or not.
Take it easy
