Hey dave i actually took out the big dead euc out on the drive way a couple months back and i got to see the trunk you left standing, and man was i in awe when the costumer said that her tree was the one that the great coleman took out lol! Awsome work brother! keep it up!!
When I first seen you cut a hole I was thinking he's fixing to stick the gopro in there lol...at least if the tree biz runs dry you could pick up carving jack-o-lanterns. Great video as always!
Respect from one tree climber to another. I did a Wandoo like this once between two houses. The only difference was that my tree was green and looked healthy. It was only when we started cutting the trunk at 14" in diameter that we realised the trunk was a pipe. Stay safe. Wear some eye wear.
So a 660 is the Aussie Pruning saw LOL, Bloody nice watch Matey keep up the Great work, it's amazing how bad people let some trees get before someone has to go up and get her done, do you ever get really worried with Hollow ones like that?
Your skill is amazing and the safety measures that you have on, how those heavy trunks fall and not damage the house below is great to watch, thanks for the terrific filming regards John Tasmania PS I have subscribed I find this really appealing though I could never do it well not at my age 59 anyway
Impressive! One perhaps daft question, why did you cut two holes to feed the rope through rather than just take it up through the top after cutting one?
bikeybikebike to balance the piece to be lowered creating less swing and shock loading. Plus more weight of the load spread (between two points halving chance of failure).
Enjoyed your video,got quite a surprise when I saw how high you were. Do you have a second safety harness or do you use your experience when confronted with a tree like this.
+Peter McGreevy I use my experience and keep assessing the tree all the way up, this tree was actually quite stable and also still alive at the top even tho it was extremely hollow
The redirect in the healthy tree...I assume it had more friction, so it takes me weight, and the hollow side is minimal friction in the rope, less stress?
Professional job guys. Just a pity the builder of the home didn't get you in BEFORE building the house. Would have been cheaper for them and easier for you.
nasty tree... call it job security.. no fun til you pull it off, then it "WAS" fun... except you had too much adrenaline running to notice at the time.. great work!
0:20 -- I cringed when you glanced down and showed that the tree BELOW you was hollow. (This really was a job for a crane.) 0:12 -- I hope that your furry friend reached the ground intact. Great camera work -- especially considering the distractions.
Thanks for the great comments guys, I'm quite proud of this one!
I'll keep the vids coming :)

To be honest, this tree is a whole lot of nope.
Total respect to the man up the tree. You need all the skills and smarts to work with a chainsaw howling close to your face.
You wouldn't catch me up in that god awful tree.. My hats off to your giant balls of steel dude!! Great video!
that was a very sweet piece of work, well done.
Sweet video Dave, and a nice demonstration of intelligent rigging. Good work, brother.

Love the bark wedges.. And the rope through the tree.. Brilliant ideas!

Got the skills, and the stones. Some pro work man!!

Good job, very innovative way of rigging with the holes. I would have brought in a crane to do that one in a heartbeat...
Crane couldnt access

Amazing!
cracking video tree surgery at its best :)
juevos of steel brother
Good job, just need to watch the truckers thumbs :P
What a pro!
Should have filled that hollow tree with weed and use it as one huge pipe
ahh hell yeah!
I dont know why you have to cut holes in the holkw pieces to lower them differently than regular tree pieces.
Good job
wow! sketchy tree!!
very handsome ! good job,
:13 Wow, and you were nearly killed by a drop bear.
do you take precautions against snakes or spiders in those hollows? I hear you have some awful species down there.
skillz.....to pay the billz
Your nuckin Futs!!!
posted this on my fb page
u have balls of steel
Great job. Music a tad loud this time tho.
So are chainsaws dude, why don't you turn your speakers down?
I'd look stupid with the sound down and my ear defenders on.
Feel the fear do it anyways real tree surgeon
This Tree is old and rotten and must be cut down. It is very interesting to watch the skill
with which it is felled. Tree removal columbia sc
Didn't a girl in 2011 fall into a 30 ft hollowed cottonwood tree?
nasty tree... call it job security.. no fun til you pull it off, then it "WAS" fun... except you had too much adrenaline running to notice at the time.. great work!
