Roping down big trees takes teamwork and patience...

This is footage from September 2022, a little oak takedown right beside a bunkie. Big shoutout to my stellar ground crew - Tom and Kendal, handling this monster like true professionals, and Alex running the skid steer.

Enjoyed the video. Nice job climbing, rigging and chunking. Kudos to the ground crew....nice rope work.

[@63sfletcher]

Great job guys, thanks for sharing.

[@AverageHouseHusband]

Very nice, video was well edited, the climb was well thought out and executed smoothly as if with no effort at all. When I climb I sound like an obscene phone call.

[@firedtradesman]

[@SheriffofYouTube]

i am afraid of heights so i enjoy watching you do this

[@locoseven]

Nice job! I know you have to edit these videos for brevity but I for one would love to see it in its entirety, the "uncut" version so to speak. I know it'd be a long video but seeing every detail start to finish would be very cool!
The lil' Husky seems to eat through the oak like it's butter, pretty impressive :)

[@ChrisTietjen_00]

That was a serious piece of work. I hope you all were well compensated. Fascinating to see it all from the first person viewpoint showing the rigging process in great detail. No words necessary.

Big fan of a pull line on poles. Safer / more efficient and allows hinge to be less than perfect.

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

Agreed

[@StickyManMaxxx]

so good ! looks like a beaut tree to climb. i'm still fairly new to rigging big, it looked like when tip tying the logs you did snap cuts rather than face cuts? also, is there any reason you didn't take the lower limb off to start with?

[@joehenington6666]

I always learn something new when I watch your videos!! Average Midwest tree joe

[@richardf9137]

PROFESSIONALISM!

[@kingslew1866]

[@gregrupar135]

Did you think about speed lining this tree. Seems like it was a good candidate

[@marcvallois8984]

Siberian timber hitch with a long tail to pull limbs away from shed?

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

Yes that would have worked

[@NateGrabar]

My first year doing trees.i just do it in the side on weekends.Learned 90% from watching you on UA-cam. In fact learned the timber hitch with long tail from you. 4 big red pines next week will put us over 30k for the year. So far with a bunch more to go. I’m sure that’s Pennies to alot of guys but damn good extra money to me for a job that is awesome and addicting. Thank you for the education Mr masterson keep it real sir
