Dropping tall trees, climbing and felling.

[Music] all right friends good morning we're on a job we've worked on the property before a big dirty cedar beside the house here it's all it's dying at the top you can't see it because it's a rat's nest up there maples growing into it and everything we got three here we got that one there we got a dead fur which is surprising to me and then we got another fur that are dying two furs that are dying it's usually balsam we're taking out but we're cutting fur today and uh so hogan's got one and i got one and uh we're just getting right at it here's the deal here's the deal up and here there's ganges tree over there and uh yeah it's all close to the house that one septic and stuff down in here i think it's a gravity fed uh 120 footers good size i'm thinking about maybe i don't know we'll see what happens here see if we can let a good size stem go with that fur up this way but away we go no balsam snag there there's ganges heading over to his all right so there's uh there's bucking going up his thing there's my tree there's this little maple here that's also got to come out so we'll see i might come down and tie into what i might tie into that fur before i do anything with that fur and then go over and just kind of get rid of that or i might leave it and then repel into it all my way down and get it we'll see once i once i'm above it i'll decide tree there see these dead limbs they kind of just kind of fall out of the socket once they're once they're finished they're course that's a good-sized tree to climb friends just take small steps there's no panic oh kind of like that hanging that saw off the hip now i never used to oh yeah we're gonna leave i'm gonna leave that maple that little maple shoot because my bag's right under it and branches are deflecting off of it so it's working out in my favor started doing a hole in here i'll just show you a couple limbs and i'll turn you off again you can see we just got limbs there's no rigging no nothing [Music] straightforward see what i can do here [Applause] there's that deck right there so i don't want this to swing out backwards too far try and muster it out of this maple tree there we go i just really don't want stuff no jack before getting caught in my rope back all righty i'll shut you down now just wanted to let you know what we're doing here there's bucket over there little ways above me wow oh okay we got a septic field down there on this side so i'm going to strip up one side of this tree which is my right foot up here and then let it go back in there which is actually against the wind but i don't want it down there wow see what i just did there you go [Applause] oh [Music] wow wow wow this will be my last stand that's it now i can climb down or i can rappel down and to be honest by the time i get tied in i'll be down all right friends we're up here i've stripped up this tree in good ways winds blowing our our way it's going to rappel down and uh repel down and top it down there that
