Footage captured up in the Perth hills. We identified the tree species - Sugar Gum, but the tree characteristics were atypical to other Sugar Gums I have climbed? The Fruit "gumnut" has the characteristics of a Karri tree - Eucalyptus diversicolor, but why would there be a self sown Karri next to a shed 300km away from home, south - western WA? I started to think maybe it is a hybrid species, s...

Crown thinning - To remove a percentage of leaf area no more than 30% to create an even density throughout the remaining crown. 0ver 50% of the branches removed in this video were epicormic growth. The Ficus was topped in the past by another tree company. I have been restoring the crown each annual visit.

@@sergiosantos7314 Hello!
Hi mate, loving your local tree climbing content as most ive seen on you tube is in America. Would be great to see things like setting your anchor points for yourself and anchor points for the falling of limbs. Cheers
@@kanes7494 Thanks mate. Are you in the tree industry?
@@ArcaneArborWolfe Not at the moment. Have just recently taken an interest in the art of arborist and how it's all carried out.
Good one
Hey Pom I reckon the little 12” dick McCulloch I had back in Ole Sussex was the bees knees for cutting up builder pallets flucken useless for anything else! Some serious branches removed. Good move to pull the pin on the wet 😢 day. Climb safe Dude 👊Old Man Eflow ⚒️
@@johnnywolfe8485 Haha, good old Sussex! Big old Eucalyptus tree, the tree job was near the rammed earth build you did up in the hills back in the day. Enjoy your weekend geeza!
Enjoyed the video. Nice rope-walking.....spurless. Nice limbing. I like running two climblines to secure good position. The two Petzl devices worked great. I am a big fan of the ZigZag. Thanks for posting.
@@havespurswillclimb Thanks mate! The Zig Zag is great on the big Eucalyptus trees in Australia. I want to try the Akimbo soon. Climb safe!
Nice job
@@brianfloyd8033 Thank you sir!
Husky 540 best i rekon still. Lighter n better.
Have stihl stuff but 540i an there long hedger. Win'
Bita humour' nice work. Fukin poms everywhere. Haha cheers
@@julianalderson3938 Hey geeza! Thanks for the comments. The Husky is great! The Stihl MSA 220 T ain't light, but good power. Haha, it was a fun day.
Worked with few from england irish french but harder cos launguage. An didnt like saw strops. Im 50 now an bro been a good job n meet some really good people. Cheers
An alota laughs. Thanks bro
@@julianalderson3938 Likewise, we are all a bit crazy in the tree game.
@@julianalderson3938 So much banter & the odd punch up haha.
G'day mate what do you think of the Stihl battery saw
@@fergusnorris6694 Great! I run the MSA 161 T & 220 T. I still run my 2 stroke climbing saws. Thanks for subscribing mate.
loving these vids mate!
@@Jackofalltrees-cs2df Cheers mate!
Hey Dude interesting property, usual tidy job. Dave looks a Geezer Bro. Old Man Eflow ⚒️
Use one that was made in China then. ("Bit of a 'deathtrap'...) lol
Cheers bro! Nice work! Got the Zigity Zag huh, how do you like it compared to your rope wench?
@@ferminsuarez1131 Thanks Fir! I like the Zig Zag on the right climbs. It is super efficient on the 100 ft plus climbs, but I do like the hitch / rope wrench, no chain to smash or bend. Enjoy your climbing week ahead.
@@ArcaneArborWolfe enjoy you week ahead as well brother!
Wherw the structural danger down below to justify so much climbing?
@@Kaizen747 I couldn't fell the tree & my EWP licence has expired.
Enjoyed the video....what there was of it. Need a bit longer videos.
Cheers mate! Sharp & short, my next video will be a long watch. Climb safe bro!
Great job and great production. Given me some ideas to simplify getting rid of a large problem poinciana in my backyard, so thanks. Been wondering about getting a battery saw, currently run a husky 540xp but the start stop on the battery seems like it would be really convenient. Only do a few climbing trees each year so wonder if it is worth the investment? Subbed and keep being safe.
Appreciate the sub & comment. No worries, the more knowledge makes us all safer in the trees. I reckon a new saw is worth it. The hard trees become easier with the right saw on your harness. I climb with approx 5 different stihl top handles to keep things fresh. Good luck with the poinciana!
nice to see the job, man. great camera placement too! good stuff ... good choice at 9:30
Thanking you! After watching your video on the triangle of death I had to feature the TOD in my next V - Rig. I will catch up on your latest videos. Enjoy your weekend!
@@ArcaneArborWolfe Yeah I like how you got WAY out of that TOD! that's the way to stay in the game
@@metaspencer Thanks for the reply! You are the creator of the TOD terminology, so we must honour the power it gives us or the power to destroy us within the TOD haha.
Gona look real good come summer'
Thanx great vid like have atleast one groundy. Lota guys doin solo but na for me. Thanx
@@julianalderson3938 Hey geeza, thanks for the comments. We had three ground staff that day. The tree will look top draw in summer, hopefully not another brutal drought in Western Australia this coming summer.

Hey Jeff! Just subscribed to your channel ya legend. What happened to the Unicender 2? I love the gen 1 model raw.
@@ArcaneArborWolfe thanks
Nice job bro!!! Seems like a lot of water sprouts. Cheers !
@@ferminsuarez1131 Cheers bro! Heaps of regrowth from old pruning cuts and water sprouts. When I land back home I will watch ya new video. I just completed a brutal dead wood and got some GoPro footage. Peace!
Tidy job again Bro, reminds me of repointing an old gable end wall in Pommie land. Where do you stop! And sometimes hard to see where you have been. However your After was a big improvement. The violin music really cool 👍 England 🏴 result 🤮Keep them coming Old Man Eflow ⚒️
Cheers Geeza! I agree, 1000 cuts later and climbing at a good steady pace before lunch to break the back and stay focused. I am glad I got a before / after picture for the video. Bummer regarding England! Thanks for tuning in Eflow.
Great work, and very efficient climbing!
@@Jamespinkney1 Cheers mate!
Great work! Love the truck and gear setups.
@@metzgerbass Thank you sir!
Like to say silkys safe. Haha it bites but control is cool. Thanx
Silky work is great! It can really get you out of shit situations, windy days, jammed chainsaw and sometimes cutting up a sourdough loaf.....
Palm trees silky is great n fast.
Love the silky. Get ya outa stuff an n the wind need hands. Cheers
Really appreciate the precision of all these cuts. Very cool to see you cut and guide each bit down with such moment by moment awareness (goes without saying when your life is on the line, but still...).
@@krouchingtigerr Thank you! I find I end up in some other dimension on the ropes.
Ox en horns
@@Sethhaun78 Horn art in the clients garden.
Spars looked like old bull horns
Some would just pull em over. But no fun. Cheers
@@julianalderson3938 That was my first plan, but one lead was to close to the horse fence and would of damaged the adjacent tree and maybe punched a hole in the driveway. Ropes & GoPro!
@ArcaneArborWolfe Then cut the one lead 😅. Oh well, climbers will climb. Nice work 👏.
@@brettblack7049 You made me laugh, the other stem was too close to a newly planted mature pear tree, so I ended up going in to 100% discipline climbing mode, plus the other driveway I didn't want to damage.
@ArcaneArborWolfe gotta do what you gotta do to make the customer happy. I do everything I can to avoid climbing, many times that means I just turn down the job. When you work by yourself and aren't s proficient climber, it's wise to avoid climbing alone as much as possible. Have a great week.
@@brettblack7049 We are completely opposite. I start fabricating worst case scenarios in my head if the tree is 50 / 50 climb or fell, so I always put a rope up and do what I do best ( control freak ) dismantle the tree down. I checked out your UA-cam, you got some good felling videos up. Likewise bro, enjoy your week.
Nice bro, seemed kinda sound but yer liftin everything. Cheers
Nice job on the span rigging (impressive for a one man job). Take it easy brother don't work too hard! Cheers!
@@ferminsuarez1131 Cheers bro! Solo climbing is never easy. The span rigging made the job run smoothly. Climb safe & enjoy your week ahead.
Wow! Big production, tiny tree! Good job, you kept it interesting!
@@troyerthedestroyer Cheers mate! The tree felt big after a full week of contract climbing haha.
What chipper do you have?
Hansa C13 - 90mm wood chipper
I'ma say it again. Australia really is backwards / upside-down with everything. First time I made the comment was about being able to make the compression relief cut further away from the trunk than the tension release cut. That just can't be done with trees in my area (45N 75W). And now, the rigging is backwards too. The porta-wrap is normal. But the dead-eye sling is usually placed as the anchor in the taller tree, so the lower tree can be taken down with less moving of ropes, and the load rope is tied to the log that'll be falling since it needs to be un-tied at each fall either way; but at least the dead-eye will remain stationary for multiple falls. Methinks ya done made your job far more complicated than it needed to be, unless of course you're paid by the hour, which then makes complete sense. Never get paid by the hour. They're not paying for your hours of time on site, they're paying for your years of time spent learning how to do it so that your time on site is minimalized so they can enjoy the majority of their day without a stranger to be worrying about on their property. I do see what you're doing with the double anchor up top to make the log go between, but since you're lowering controlled, it all seems like wasted time, especially since one was laying on the brick anyway.
Its called span rigging. Its a pretty common method used
@@n085fs Australia is a strange place. The quotation, amount charged and methodology gave me time to not rush and put the GoPro on to capture the tree dismantle. The rigging is span or v - rigging, very common practice with modern climbers. The log on the brick wall, that is the section getting knocked down and replaced. If I was contract climbing the tree I removed, I would of done everything the same but replaced the porta wrap with a pulley block and put the porta wrap down on the ground for the groundie.
Gotta love how the stihl shuts off after 2 seconds of not cutting
@@mcauleyman Hey mate! I wish Stihl would delete that feature on the generation two MSA 220 T model.
Maybe bit longer be good but keeps ya honest spose.
Not block into trailer? Haha someone elses'
Nice one, no damage to the property or you 👊 I was Brickie all my life and the lads would take the piss out of me about my 10” trowel. I still got plenty down and my rist is still in good shape. Seeing you mastering the smaller saw reminded me. It is how you use it!! Stat safe Old Man Eflow ⚒️
@@johnnywolfe8485 Cheers geeza! The first big rigging section, I thought worst case scenario and pulled the logs with a tag line, plus I didn't want to ring you for a cash job repairing the finishing layer of bricks haha. COME ON ENGLAND! Cheers Eflow.
Probably would have felled them out.
@@thegreenrevival4424 That was my plan, but the client didn't want any holes in their driveway & anymore damage to the remaining brick wall. The quotation / amount reflected the tree surgery performed in the video.
I totally respect that
@@thegreenrevival4424 Cheers bro! Are you in the arboriculture / tree industry?
I am indeed. Full time climber up in Scotland.
ID as your lanyard device??? I suspect you've come from rope access. I also suspect you know that's a shit lanyard device. I'm a huge hitch cord hater but damn, get some hitch cord. Or even us the UNI as your lanyard and use the ID on your main line. Gross either way brother, get that thing out of the tree. Also, side D rings are only supposed to be used when you're standing or spiking. Use your lower D's if you're hanging on your climb line and cutting. If you were to cut your main line while tied into your side D's you'd end up hung by your hips
@@jackberdine Hey Jack, Petzl Rig. No rope access experience. I completed my arboriculture qualifications 15 years ago. Likewise, I hate hitch cord on my lanyard. I don't get too caught up in rules & regulations because we are hanging off a living organism. Thanks for the comment geeza!
33:00 hey man, just finished cutting a tree, I'll just say this, great work and happy to see no one got hurt. I'm following your now. I would like to get a hold of the tools you use. I have 3 more trees, and I'd hate to do it my way again.
Thanks mate! Are you a full time climbing Arborist?
As much as like it. Rkon good ground guy girl are worth it. Alot cos im one spose but lota stuff done dont haft to later. Tricky riggin? But cheers to ya bro
Yer bro very clean. Good see the stihl battery saw go. Cheers
@@julianalderson3938 Hey bro, yeah great saw with the 14" bar.
@@ArcaneArborWolfe had a 161 was rubbish. Some said bit heavy over the husky for the power. But yer nice work bro
@@julianalderson3938 Likewise! I have a love / hate relationship with the MSA 161 T, I ended up installing a 10" bar for crown thinning climbs, or fine tip pruning.
From England, im 27 coming on 50...aint worth it....
@@Jamespinkney1 Hey James, are you a tree climber?
@@ArcaneArborWolfe Yeah man, great work, although been doing for around 9 years in the UK! And looking to come and work in Australia! Looks incredible mate!
@@Jamespinkney1 Nice geeza! Do you run a business, contract climb or employee back in the Kingdom? I am originally from Sussex. I have been climbing 15 years, it ain't an easy trade.
@@ArcaneArborWolfe just a sub contractor over here, I'm from the Cotswolds! Such a beautiful area, just always hilly! But I'm looking at coming to you mate! Wanna get over the aus bro 😎 will have to pick your brain man!
@@Jamespinkney1 Cotswolds is good Kingdom country. I do miss England, but I would rather do my trade over here in Western Australia. Where are you thinking about heading to in Australia?
good job
Thank you!
@@ArcaneArborWolfe i have to try that solo rigging that u did in the one video looks mint
Love the video 🤙🏻That riging/tag was sweet 😌
Thank you! Rig / tag is a dope setup. I do not get the opportunity to use it a lot, but it does work great on the right tree and tree surgery job.
Hey Dude great tricky job, you are a complete professional, younger climbers will learn so fcuken much from you. Climb safe Sono Old Man Eflow 🏴⚒️
Cheers Eflow! Thanks for the comment. UA-cam is great for teaching the new blood. I got your text message regarding the tool boxes. I will give you a buzz tomorrow. X
Like how you use the silky for that last little part of the collar and pruning cuts. I may start that I think.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. Great demonstration an explanation of the tag line set up using the same rigging line. Also seriously your pruning cuts are the best I have ever seen. Thanks.
Cheers mate! Great setup the rig / tag. Much appreciated sir. Enjoy your weekend.
