Great vid! Thanks for taking the trouble to make it. I thought "18 minutes! No way!" but it flew by. I'll bet it would be a license to print money for you guys up here in Canada with the Emerald Ash Borer beetle these days and all the trees it's slowly killing off. Stay safe and good luck.
Could you post your checklist in PDF format somewhere? I'd be interested in seeing what is required in your area. A great vid and I appreciate all the safety checks that you do.
Really informative, great to see that checklist, we have just about the same regulations, although one doesn't need to fill in a checklist on all of the subjects you've just shown. Here we have a mandatory Flora and Fauna checklist you'll need to fill in every day. All men (or women) need to be trained, also in first aid. At least two climbers on site at every given moment, fully trained and certified as a treeworker on most job locations. Maybe a difference might be, that although the person in charge needs to be sure everybody wears PPE, this PPE, and also all climbing equipment needs to be personal gear, you can't use or wear anything from anyone else, to ensure that you know the exact history of every item, and can be sure nothing really bad happened to it that could be a future risk to safe operations. All PPE, machines and climbing gear need to be checked by users on a daily basis, and also every year by an independent certified service center (usually the store where you bought your equipment). The end responsibility that all this is in order lies with the person in charge at the job site. Great video! Cheers from the Netherlands!!
Beautiful job and a very nice high-quality video. Great to see all the attention to safety. Thanks so much for taking the time and expense to put this together and share it with all of us. By the way, that was a stunning and seemingly healthy tree. What was the reason for removal? Maybe I missed that.
+Mychael McNeeley Thanks buddy! The tree had a history of shedding limbs and had damaged the decking, the house and caused the guttering to be replaced twice. Also the tree had impacted the neighbour's roof, damaging the TV aerial and tiles luckily no one was hurt.
Wow Clive That was a big one! Bet your flat out after the NSW storms... Friends have told of there own losses. Stay Safe.! Ha... looks like you have that covered Mate. Jim Southern Tas Climbers .

24 thousand US , Austrialian,, Canadian? dollars. On the friction drum , there must be an operator at the unit while the wood chunks are lowered? Walking all those chunks out through narrow ways , what a job! Very interesting video tight editing informative over dubing audio
Putting a notch in a tree that you are climbing isnt very smart let alone multiple notches. Just the other day a perfectly healthy oak with not one single defect randomly snapped and killed two boys in my area
ian martin Sorry to hear about the boys. As for your comments I agree that there is an element of risk when placing a directional cut in the trunk of a tree that you are sectionally felling, but the structural integrity was not compromised with a 10-15% directional cut. Considering trees with major cavities and over 70% heart rot can withstand extremely high winds. Ive been using this method since I was a teenager and am yet to have a problem. However in my nearly 40 years of climbing I have known 2 people whom have died whilst attempting a directional cut while standing on trunk. Stay Safe !
ian martin sorry to hear about the loss, never a good thing. Iron barks would probably fair better than the oaks i think, id say something like that would depend on the season and uptake of water.
Clive nice video I watch it to the very end. Cheers ACE.
I watched this from start to finish,' tool box meeting' love it ,, we call it a tail gate meetin, great job clive.
one mongrel of a drag for the boys, great job all round.
Stihlmadd Arborist Thanks... the boys were awesome!
Good work, and interesting to see all the similarities between Australian and UK arboriculture, albeit your trees are MUCH larger!
Dan Hargrave Yes I have experienced climbing in the UK I can honestly say some a much higher but the weather to climb is way better!!!!
Climb safe, guys.
Beautiful job. Beautiful vid. By your work I know I like you guys. Great work to all involved in the project.
