We won!

Another great job, nice to watch.

Thanks guys

Not bad for a pomme baastard aye!!

Full credit to Nick (TW member) and Paddy for being so organised on the ground, lots of stuff coming down without a break. This was Nicks job BTW.

The gloomy weather makes the vid a little dark on the web which is a shame. Sure enough, the heavens opened not long after the trunk hit the floor, just as well we got stuck in from the word go!

RE: the main trunk. The idea was to position the camera as close to the landing zone as possible. The trunk finished only 1 foot short of this, so it worked out just right. I didn't pace it out or use any tricks, just intuition. Sometimes you just know!

Cheers

we have very large poplar tree over our home and one single trunk with 12 feet in diameter. Appro. 15 feet up, thetree splits into 3 large trunks. No large cracks visible, but some smaller ones. Could we rods those 3 trunks together to save the tree, and help support? If so, where could a diagram be gotten, and could a large poplar be drilled?
