    Even with the logging here most jobs are word of mouth and cold calling.
    Those Mountain Ash are pretty wide spread.

    Some small Mountain Ash.

    I was feeling they are at two hundred foot at least where they are in the vid and may have been near three day 1 and 2 very impressive height but after 20 foot your just as dead that is how I stay focused at over 100 foot and would still be telling myself that at 3 hundy. I would not climb that tree without plenty of safe guards snubbing it from movement. It appeared they had them in place and likely used some type of resistograph to check for decay. The hard part would be bombing the chunks without hitting snubbing lines and being loaded so long on spurs. I am certain the money would corrupt me though lol

    The first thing I think about when seeing a pic or video like this is what is the condition of the tree internally. From experience crosscutting a fallen tree the rot can be worse at a junction than above it. Yep, you would have to be on the ball for a job like this. Credit to ya's.

    I quite like it, it wasn't cheap but you get what ya pay for. I really like the balance feel on the 395, feels much better with a 36" hanging off there.
