awesome mushi ,you put that together really well

Eric Frei

Love it!

Mushi

The absolute part I liked the best was you riding the hook.

In fact, it is one strong reason why you need to keep the Australian OHS people the hell away from your country, they even have some of the arborists hood winked into thinking it's dangerous and their spreading their small mindset like wildfire here.

Reclaim the crane! RIDE THE HOOK, and those of you who think otherwise present your case in defence of the practice, it sickness me to hear people running around talking crap when frankly, they wouldn't know.

l think a lot of the paranoia about riding the hook come from the seventys when you would see a bloke disapeer into the heavens one foot on the hook hanging onto the cable.

l think and this my opinion only if you are properly attached while on the hook you should be allowed.

hey Eric, i think you said that LOUD AND CLEAR LOL, but seriously is there any way you guys could get together and meet up with these office wallers who call themself OHS (and think they know it all,) and try and prove it to them

Eric Frei

First you require industry unity, and with the idiots that commandeer that boat, forget it!

Wicked. Great vid I love cranes ,almost as much as Helicopters.

You Kiwi's have a strong advantage with no states and 1 government.

In many industries like music and film it's seen a big deal for say Kiwi artists to crack the Aussie market. Just like it's a big deal for say Aussies to crack the UK or USA market.

With tree work, your grass is way green enough, look after it the way you have it and make it better.

There is 1 place in Australia they can ride the hook, it's Northern Territory.

Also, the crane cut I see used often by you guys, also not taught here!
