I'm fascinated that the undercut being further from the trunk than the uppercut is working with that tree. If I do that here, the undercut does absolutely nothing and the base of the limb splits and peels like a banana as the limb falls with the undercut falling too. Trees in my area (in the 45°N, 75°W box) must be undercut closer to the trunk and the upper cut further out.
@ArcaneArborWolfeАй бұрын
Are you working on Conifers? The climbing institutions teach the climber to put the back cut towards the stem to prevent the climbing saw getting captured in the fibres and taking the saw down with the portion cut. 80% of the trees I am working on in Australia are Eucalyptus or Corymbia, so they have short fibre tissue compared to your northern hemisphere trees.

Back in the day I was doing a lot of competition climbing and got to National level and was hoping to get in to the world tree climbing competition level, at the time one of the contract climbers / ranked number one in Australia did a tree surgery video and I saw him do it and started using it to prevent the karabiner being side loaded against the stem when I could avoid it. I hope this make sense. Cheers for the comment!
@@ArcaneArborWolfe Fantastic great tip. Thanks.
Hey boys. Northern California here. Just found your channel. I am a retired deputy sheriff and retired climber as well. But I still do tree work part time. Working on a BIG red oak the exploded late last night. Banged so hard it woke up the neighbors up and down the street.🤣😂🤣 Anyway, keep the videos coming and safe climbing from the USA. 🇺🇸
Hey mate! Thanks for tuning in! Sweet, Northern California. WOW! It must be a big Oak tree, how did you go dismantling the beast? Awesome, ex deputy sheriff, I do enjoy watching hectic KZread videos in the USA. Take care mate!
Loving that this channel is growing :-)
Thanks Ski Ski ❤
Winner, I’m a subby over here in the UK who’s just applying for a visa to come and work for a company in Perth. I’ll be consuming all your content trying to get a picture of what is like over there. Thanks
Congratulations bro! No worries, feel free to ask any questions about the Arboricultural industry here in Perth Western Australia. If you don't mind me asking....which company are you going to be working for?
Buy a DMM Captain Hook if you are a climber, you will have a much easier time in the big spreading Eucalyptus & Corymbia species.
@@ArcaneArborWolfe nice one, perfect question! Kennedy’s tree services. Would love it if you could let me know what they’re like?!
@@ArcaneArborWolfe I’ve been putting off getting one but will now definitely put an order in. Thanks
@@richardhollis2530 Kennedy's Tree Service are a big company. I see the trucks everywhere around Perth. I think they have a lot of big government contracts, so local government tree care in parks and street verges, plus residential. They are based along a main highway and five minutes down the road is another big company that specialises in root & canopy care called Arbor Centre. I did my apprenticeship with Classic Tree Services 15 years ago. Classic Tree Services & Arbor Centre always have UK climbers on board, so at least you have a couple of back ups.
Hey Dude bet you were knackered after this one 👊 Timo looks a Wineo! Libs is following you now, she is well impressed. Climb safe Sono Old Man Eflow ⚒️
Hey Eflow! I was pretty good after this climb and even better after a few beers. Haha, I know Tim enjoys Heineken. Tim is Step fathers ex business partner, he is a great Horticulturist. Awesome, Lib sent me a picture of Olivia watching one of my videos. Cheers for tuning in!
good to see the job, mate ... seems like you do pretty well working with various other crews and guys
Hey bro! Thanks mate, a bit of a mission in the wet. I love contract climbing for bigger businesses, it keeps me socialising or I go in to hermit mode, plus it is nice not always solo rigging and avoiding the triangle of death. You inspired me to do more solo rigging back in the day.
@@ArcaneArborWolfe excellent -- and those other outfits surely appreciate your expertise
They appreciate it & I love the bread & butter climbing.
Wow, amazing job! 🌳 It's impressive to see such skill and precision in deadwooding an Eucalyptus gomphocephala, especially in the rain. Safety first always! Your dedication to proper techniques and safety measures, even in challenging weather conditions, is a sign of a great climber. 💪🧗♂ Keep climbing, keep growing, and keep shining bright, my friends
Thank you sir! The big Tuart trees are a real challenge especially in the wet. Discipline is crucial in the climbing game as you know. It is a meditation, focus, tuning in to your body & mind. Thanks again for the comment. I will check out your channel. Peace!
keep it up bud!
Thanks mate! Appreciate it.
Good job brother!!! Impressive solo rigging! Cheers!
Cheers bro! Look forward to your next video. Peace!
Hey Dude a lot of work in that tree. I reckon day three was 2 long necks and four Kitkats 👊 Sign writing looks mint. You need to take me on 1-2 days a week, I want to learn new shit 🙈 and take the pressure off your body Sono. Climb safe Old Man Eflow ⚒️
Hey old school legend! Hope you enjoyed the builder boy barrow action in the video. Cheers mate, the logo looks good on the modern ute. We should do a video together one day when the weather starts to warm up. Thanks for watching. Lone Wolfe!
Haha, there was a international bottle shop up the road from the job, so I grabbed a roadie after each day. I went to the local cafe and grabbed some home baked goods to keep me going.
as usual interesting to see your "hang them and drop them" approach. good stuff man
Cheers bro! I wish I had more space to setup the triangle of death, but the good old hang & control drop method worked well.
@@ArcaneArborWolfe Yeah that was a tight space for sure ... I like that you showed the wheel barrows and clean up at the end: a key part of a job like that and a ton of work. good stuff
@@metaspencer Appreciate the feed back. You understand the sufferfest of being a solo operator, some days are great and others can be a bit too hectic. Look forward to your next video!
@@ArcaneArborWolfetriangle of death? Is that solo rigging with one end tied off then through a crab/ring/pulley/porta wrap and hold it while cutting or tied off to stub/branch? I’ve never tried the method in the video on my own but I like it
@@ArcaneArborWolfemore questions! Do you do short days because it gets so dam hot? And do you know of any laws preventing you from climbing and cutting on your own or is it an owner, operator thing where the risk is up to you? I’ve done quite often in uk and think there is laws against it just might be difficult to claim if I hurt myself
I'm fascinated that the undercut being further from the trunk than the uppercut is working with that tree. If I do that here, the undercut does absolutely nothing and the base of the limb splits and peels like a banana as the limb falls with the undercut falling too. Trees in my area (in the 45°N, 75°W box) must be undercut closer to the trunk and the upper cut further out.
Are you working on Conifers? The climbing institutions teach the climber to put the back cut towards the stem to prevent the climbing saw getting captured in the fibres and taking the saw down with the portion cut. 80% of the trees I am working on in Australia are Eucalyptus or Corymbia, so they have short fibre tissue compared to your northern hemisphere trees.
pretty different from my typical solo rigging approach, cool to see :)
Thanks mate! I would usually span / V rig the whole head out, but I didn't want to shock load the branch my redirect climbing line was on and rigging, so I thought static rigging would be best. I will check out your channel. Peace!
Nice job! the battery saw makes for a very peaceful work site. Keep up the good work.
14:22 Mega!! 😎
Another great video mate, fair play doing it all on your own, new sub from me - climb safe fella. Wigan, UK!
Likewise bro! Appreciate the feedback. I subscribed to your channel a few months back. Climb safe!!!
@@ArcaneArborWolfe That's great I Appreciate it! Keep up the good work.
@@MattGlynn No worries bro! Your videos are great. I am originally from East Sussex Brighton UK, but I did my arborist apprenticeship in Australia, so climbing 90% of the time in brutal heat haha.
Looks like a pig to work on them palms. Great work though!
good job, nice peaceful prune there.
Cheers bro! I was watching one of your videos last night, the tree climbing competition, great footage of all the climbers.
@@ArcaneArborWolfe Awesome! Yeah was a cool event, hoping to go again next year.
Great vid everything spot on, up the old driveway footage really good. Dude they are just getting better and better. Old Man Eflow 😜
Good moring, thanks Eflow! The footage along the driveway was good fun to film. The old boy in the video reminded me of Bruce. Cheers for the support! Enjoy your weekend.
Nice job! That was a lot of work for a one man job. I work for myself some weekends mainly pruning ornamental trees. Beautiful footage, stay safe brother!! cheers!!!
Thanks bro! Haha, I was pretty tired after this one. Nice, fine pruning can be really rewarding. I will watch your new video over the weekend, I like the thumbnail. Peace!
@@ArcaneArborWolfe peace bro! Thanks for the support!
Nice climb mate. Cheers from Florida/ USA. ❤
Thank you sir!
Did you attach the rig n wrench to the piece being cut?
Hello! Yeah, the last cut / rig was with the 120KG Rigging Wrench. I was holding the section with one hand, plus the span rigging helped, so it was really lightweight. I find the Marlow Draco 12mm rigging line works great with the Rigging Wrench.
Nice work mate.
Thanks mate!
Interesting setup mate -- I solo rig on a regular basis so it's always cool to see how others do it
Cheers bro! I subscribed to your channel a few years back. I enjoy your work / solo rigging activities.
@@ArcaneArborWolfe I've subbed here too :)
@@metaspencer Legend!
@@metaspencer me to 1 man band legend spencc
Good work m8
Cheers bro! It ain't easy solo rigging but a good challenge.
@@ArcaneArborWolfe absolutely sometimes you just have to make it work
Span rigging with a bunch of sling is nice when you’re by yourself. Nicely done brother 👍
Spanning it up is so much fun when you are in the right head space. I have taken on some big trees in Australia, but only if the span is favourable. Thanks for tuning in!
bonne technique d'auto-rétention 👌
Thanking you!
good stuff man
Thanks bro, appreciate the comment.
