Shaken off the spikes while rigging 2 Eucalypts

rigging down two trees along a fence line and overhanging a house.

"Oh, hit the fence already." 😂 I know that feeling

Another underrated Aussie arborist pumping out great vids.. nice work mate!

Much appreciated

Oh, I've seen yours too! Really good mate!

Great video. Im glad you put the hung limb in the video. A mistake is a great opportunity to learn from. Its cool you have the patience to teach people and have people willing to learn means a lot to. Before long they have those tops running smooth.

Re: conversation circa 11:40 I totally agree with both points: • one-handing the saw • instinctively applying the chain brake • I have situational use of one-hand; the saw must be an arm's length away from be either laterally or downward, never up • I have been practicing this for five (5) years now. It has save me from many knicks and bruises for sure! Keep teaching Jack. On behalf of many of us (I'm sure 😊), we love you for it. Dio (🇨🇦 by way of 🇧🇧 and 🇹🇹)

Haha, I like these specific comments! All for the education! Cheers from Aus mate

[@ianbarnett6027]

Great video. Educational. Thanks.

[@SirensC3]

Man I agree completely. The chain break can not be over used. Even on the ground, I never move from place to place without activating it. Even if it is just a couple of steps. I damn near cut my leg years ago just bucking a downed limb. Cut my jeans but just missed my skin. This was before chainsaw pants were a thing. Super close call. Ever since then I don’t move my feet without the brake on.

[@Jackofalltrees]

Agreed! I think guys like you need to speak to the younger guys about safety in this industry, it's too dangerous for unnecessary risk.

[@shredmtb2724]

solid video loved the advice in the voice over as well

[@Jackofalltrees]

Appreciate it!

Awesome video boys looking up at the two gums from down bottom they look massive getting up to the top with the video even bigger. Another amazing video thanks boys really enjoyed it.

Thanks 👍

While he had way too much friction. You could have reduced the negative fall factor dramatically, negating majority of the dynamic energy in the piece. While its not a big deal if you expect a soft catch, never know when a rope may hockel, load snag a stem, or grounds person shit the bed... As you mentioned you're ultimately responsible for communicating the amount of friction desired. Pretty neat to see a very experienced climber shred and still be humble enough to post the bad with the good on the day. Thanks for sharing! Side note do you often work with communication headsets? They are a complete game changer for most crews.

[@Jackofalltrees]

Cool, these are the comments I like, something I can learn from. Yeah I do agree with everything you said... And yes I would love some headsets!

[@h.i.m.dishonmaurice2599]

Very intelligent comment. Thank you for sharing.

[@richardhollis2530]

Just to drop one for the algorithm. Keep em coming

[@Jackofalltrees]

You rock

[@h.i.m.dishonmaurice2599]

I agree with this. At the end of the day our safety is our personal responsibility; especially with greenhorns.

[@arcmonk8743]

Also, are you familiar with the channel 'HowNot2'. They explored the risks of cross-loading carabiners and the end consensus was its not really a very big deal. It can however damage the mechanism on double/triple action snaps. I have used the snaps on my 2in1 as a backup cinched anchor on spars when i didnt take up a seperate climbing line

[@Jackofalltrees]

Yeah, I live hownot2! And yes they are strong, it's just that the damn gate slides, opens and significantly reduces its viability as a secure attachment point.

[@jeffschroeder9089]

What lowering device is that

It's a medium sized "port-a-wrap"

20:20 turn off your saw, stow it, and enjoy the ride with both hands on the stem...

[@Jackofalltrees]

👍😂

Are you based in Brisbane

[@arcmonk8743]

Don't mind the training tips at all, to me intuitively the only time you can really get away with one handed operation is when the saw and anything being cut can only fall away from you, anything going from the centre of your body, or higher than your navel, should be done with two hands

[@Jackofalltrees]

Yeah, it's a tricky one, I'll address it thoroughly in the future video
