Eric

I dont know why it is but when ever I try to download lone of your vids I only get a small portion of it. I got though 14mb of this one and it just stopped. The vid was looking good from what I saw of it so its really anoying that this keeps happening.

Thanks for sharing, I'll keep trying

Another way to download videos as a file then watch it is right click on the link and then "save as"

Then you'll have the full file and can choose application to watch it in.

Nice video. Lol imagine if Work Cover had of drove down the street just before you were about to drop them poles and heads

We dropped a Petula pine one time across the road like that. The bloody posty came around the corner on his bike and almost through himself off while permanently detaching his jaw at the site of it coming over "Whaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!" It was absolutely hilarious.

Inspiring video. Makes me want to learn to climb. Your climber sure makes it look easy.

Low traffic and you have guys stop the traffic if there was any .... let enough desk jockeys outdoors and breathing would be banned or have a procedural step by step instruction.

I like the one where we tensioned the fell rope but let the cars drive through underneath.

I remember once when they were choppering the new HV electric lines over the road, they lay them over some timber supports and tension it a bit. No sooner had the little chopper dragged the lines over and they got a little sagging tension they let the traffic through, that was on a major road with trucks and all.

You can see how a place ends up like USA with ANSI.

Coz common sense gets shoved aside for some pen pushers salary justification, hence the low practical intellect of juveniles these days. Notice how society is getting practically dumber, I have had 20 year olds who have never put a trailer on a tow bar and never used a portable drill ... some dont even know what a shifter or monkey wrench is, sad really.

People cant reverse trailers yet they dont need a licence for it.

People cant change a tyre just call RACQ, NRMA, RAA etc.

Some people dont even know where the oil and water is let alone check their car tyres air pressure.

And so on the list goes.

That is so true mate. Me being an 18 year old with all of my 17-21 year old friends pretty much the most of them are tools, I know not a nice thing to say about my friends, but it doesn't help when I get looked at wierdly cuz' I know all of the practical things they don't.

Well that's a new one on me.

What about if you open your program that you watch videos with then go file open URL. Most programs allow you to open a file or url and the url is

It worked this time, but on the left click, in a matter of seconds.

Most enjoyable Eric, start to finish.

You need some bigger trees for that climber, he's just about bursting with energy.

Perhaps send him down to Ace for a couple of weeks, steady him up a little

Once again, great vid, thanks for posting

Nice work.

Man that climber was quick.
I hope your paying him by the job not by the hour.
Otherwise the poor bugger wont make any money at all.

I haven't heard chain for years, i love that song "black & blue"

That video looked like a typical day in my urban office as well. At least when im not climbing. But ive got the perfect climber. He is so used to setting up the pulley and lowering line that he is loosing his ability and nerve to just knock out the entire job by hand.

That was one of my favorite videos of a tree job ive seen lately. Good job, good climber, but im not sure about the ground workers. Ekka you seem to have a variety of different ground people, as I do. But I rotate my crew between 3 of my good friends in town that operate a tree service business. I have to brag on them for working so hard, but also know how to get everything done properly. By the time the kanga got to the next limb they would double team two limbs in the chipper.

Anyway. Im psyched to have found this site. Im hooked on watching arborist videos. I have filmed many of my jobs, multiple crane jobs, and large tree jobs, but I see so many faults when I watch them that it helps me to realize the faults that are made in a day. I will post a compilation of these videos in a shortend version sometime soon.

Ekka, apreciate all of the work you put into the business, site, posts, etc. I will try to get going on some videos, web site, etc. I have yet to get my arborist cert. as well.

Good on you mate, get them videos up.

If ya stuck just let me know, hosting the video is the key, many put them on YouTube though.

be careful what you wish for Ekka.

here in the UK as of 1997 new drivers licence holders are required to take a test to tow over 750kg. its expencive, time consuming and overly complicated.

in general a right pain in my backside
