Nice to see the full story of the preparartion needed for rigging, positioning, and just waiting. Like the way you left stubs to help with the climbing and rope capture.
As a guy who is just watching videos to try get some knowledge of how to climb I appreciate all the things I have learned to do (rigging branches and such) and also all the things I have learned NOT TO DO when climbing. One more really basic one is that in addition to not having a stopper knot on your lanyard, it is also the only means of support while you are cutting a few inches away from it. PS while a steel core flipline is not a safety device...with that dull a chain it would probably work :-)
All three videos in this takedown are A+. A work of art. Smoke em if you got em. I see some people do not understand why you smoke up there. I know it is to check wind direction from the smoke to direct the cuts. Thanks.
The only real error here is constantly pushing his knee into the tree rather than just standing up on the gaffs. It kind of takes away from the “I’m too badass on the spikes to tie in” thing.

Funny the things you find when you look again... great vid Mark...
These tree surgeon s know what they're doing well done lad's
hey mark please put a figure 8 stop knot on your tag end of that climbing knot . keep up the good work
Never ever cut the chainbreak off
poor owl saw is crying out for a new chain lol...........great job though lads
Always be tied in two ways and when cutting one of those needs to be a wire core lanyard/flipline.
Fling that saw around and not give a fuck lol
