You also have me confused. Really I had nightmares. Who cuts on the fly like that? Looking like batman witha :chainsaw:

Seriously, Dan. I thought you were cool. When did you become the safety police? Did BCMA get to you? Must you be reminded of this?

There is the bag, I was little tipsy but they said she had been up there all night and was calling for the kids... so I went

I gave Boggan some rep, maybe he will come back? Anyway maybe that is what a troll is ; Me? I dunno.

But if he watches those videos Treeslayer has in his own personal thread you can see how you appraoch a tree like he was in. Not really topping them out so much as limbing them up.
Its also gear intensive, sometimes you make do with things like the strap but I think you are on real smart cutting them side kerfs with yer saw , yessir. I usually do it my self in that situation with that kind of tree.

Ok, how much do you want to make this go away?


Ahhh, but that is not me, certainly not you. Who do you think that is?


By the way yesterday it was a dam kitten, sorry no pics, been up there for days. Same bat- bag though, cept it was a cat bag.
 
Hahahaha!:cheers:

Yeah, I have some balls , I guess Sunday morning climbs with a couple beers ain't exactly what you would call pretty.Oh, it was just some thing I threw on.
Now if you want to get back into whether or not the guy in the pictures is able to do what you see him doing while others may be discouraged go ahead. Its not like I just threw that on.
 
maybe it wasnt so bad and it was just the soundtrack that gave you nightmares dan.

No, it made me flinch to see that swing cutting I think it was. It came off as a vulgar display for no just reason.

other than most likely free climbing the thing to the top to set a rope to come back down It looked pretty solid, its even a situation where free climbing isn't ridiculous. Not sure about the block being used.

I want to know who was behind the Bogan up there, It looked like level shots towards his back.

At 0.35 we have an unwrapped thumb on a saw that just completed a cut above shoulder height (in front of your face) with a pushing chain (that means cutting with the top of the bar) up close to a trunk.

These are the things I have to look for and assess.

Have you considered a career in the movies? haha just kidding. for the most part.

The music has got to go. Too unnerving.

Why not consider this a learning experience....
 
Even as a greenhorn I saw stuff in the video that I ah...like wouldn't do maybe. But kudos to the OP for sharing the video. I hope he sticks around.
 
Well, I know I have been pretty tough on this guy.

I know if you went through my videos you'd find things wrong too no doubt.

When you are making a video try to keep all those little things in check, they can be annoying because a great scene is wrecked by some little BS.

The real technical one here on this video that I'd suggest we all keep in our minds is that lining up of the lowering device and the top pulley when you have a straight trunk like that (like a palm) ... be aware of the section smashing into the trunk and crushing the lowering line.

With sound tracks it's getting tougher as Youtube now vets your soundtrack and either pulls your video or deletes the sound and you get a nasty message about copyright infringement. I loaded up the motorized ascender video to Youtube and it didn't even get a chance, straight off the bat Youtube deleted the sound track ... so I went to Metacafe to host it.

Seems your music is going to have to be paid for like these royalty free tracks.
 
One thing to remember about the soundtrack is that this dude is European...music styles are a um..wee bit different there. I was in Austria and Germany a couple years ago....it's like they're stuck in 1984 :)
 
Yo TMD. You should have seen the trees I was felling after work today. You would have shat yourself. We still on for tomorrow at 10?

Yes I would have like to get a load of that. Hope you got pics cause I still might. Yeah I should be there by ten. Give a shout when you are getting close, I'll let the dogs out.
