    I still enjoy watching these videos even as I sit here as a paraplegic from a 50-60 foot fall. I was a climber for 15-20 yrs. Lived a fast hard life full of drugs and alcohol. The money was excellent but I didn't respect the trade. Like many climbers I thought I was the best in the buisness because I was fast. Today as I struggle to endure the pain and misery my life has become I hope that this reaches one climber and I tell you STOP before it's to late ! Not climbing but the long nights of drugs and alcohol.
    Love and Peace. . . . . .

    Wow absolutely impressive! The biggest tree I fell (well sort of fell) was a 28" oak that was partially down already with a Stihl MS 440 and a 25.It was a pain on the ground could not imagine doing that clinging on lol much. This is truly awesome and kick A$$ would love to own a big bar beast. ( not sure what I would ever use it on). By the way dam good video production... Love it... Still learning!!!

    Incredible job all around, chunking that big saw and bar around all day in the tree is pretty sporty, not to mention at the the height he was at. Great job by the crane operator as well, that's another magic altogether. Often the ground crew gets overlooked and I assure you they earned their paychecks that day as well. I'd love to see more videos like this, the quality and content was excellent.

    Its pretty weird to me how in all these tree removals I see out west your giant logs all get bucked real small. Westies always braggin about the giant trees theyre fallin'. But they all seem to get made into toothpicks.
    Obviously the loggin industry out there is making slightly bigger sticks out of the big wood, but a log that big is pretty incredible. Takes longer than anyone will live to grow that big.
    Otherwise - serious props to that climber and crane. Serious business. Great work.

The only way they drop it is if there is nothing nearby to damage, but considering the close proximity to the road and maybe some properties under the tree, they cant risk just letting it fall with no control over where it goes, way too dangerous. I have no idea if they are going to try and sell the wood, but i know the primary reason of craning it out is safety.
