70 Metre Mountain Ash Removal Day 1 And 2 

I've watched this video a dozen times over a decade and it still gives me goose bumps every single time.

Massive props to your groundy. Unless you do this kind of work, Its hard to appreciate the attention and skill that has to be applied by the guy working the ropes required to keep the climber safe and work flowing smoothly. Awesome climbing and cutting on your part too. Regards from the States.

It’s always an honor for your best guy to come over and take your saw at the end of this video was so heartfelt and it’s not even funny how good these guys are together a lot of guys should take a good hard look at the ending to this video and you will see what friendship is about

Dude, I've seen this video a bunch of times and still badass every time.

No time for games on those big boys you have to come with your a game and you have what it takes Dave great video to sit back on a rainy day and watch thank you so very much great brother please always stay safe

In the last two minutes of this video was almost too hard to hold back the tears Such respect at the end from the guys👊✊👊👊👊👊✊✊✊✊ One the best videos ever!!!!!!!!

Im on my partners phone watching this but id like to say ive been a tree lopper for about 8 months and ive climbed a few trees but i just wanted to say this job is by far one of the best if not the best job ive ever done and its a real privilege to be able to wake up early in the morning have a coffee and go out and be able to do this every single day. great vids mate keep up the great work!! Not only are you showing what its like to be a climber but you are also teaching people about the job once again great work!

How on earth can you be that high up in a tree and still smile for the camera!!? What a dude. Unlike some others, I think the music fits the film perfectly (the M83 intro is awesome) fantastic video guys.

I've watches this video about 5 times and as a fellow Climber I still think it's so wicked

Amazing job. nice to see someone who really knows what they are doing.sets a real good example. right on man

Great job. I can't believe this video doesn't have more views. Two thumbs up!

Wow! Didn't realise the proximity of the of the buildings until the end! Nice work, really makes me miss tree work.

Nice job on a monster,did some big ones in my time ,nice to see a pro do it not these cow boys from the states,always enjoyed the blocking down stage ,especially when we had a crane,lol.you have a very similar style to me as well .even down to to cutting in the wedge ,awsome video,from a cripple,did one with a lightning strike in the crown ,and the top blew out as I got to about 3/4 the way through,put me strait to the ground compressed three vertebrae .miss it every day ,keep safe lad.

Please upload more. This stuff is amazing!

Good work you guys, very professional and very safe!. You the climber did a very good job and are certainly one of the better climbers that I have seen post their job on You Tube. Keep up the good work!. Marti.

Awesome Job man your crew and yourself. Most people never understand that a good ground crew make one hell of a difference too you sir are very skilled again great job

Great job Dave - excellent feel for when to put the saw away when blocking down. And the view out over Melbourne after topping made me feel really homesick.

These tree's are crazy tall, here in the mid west they don't get that tall. Hats off to you. Keep the good work.

Hey Dan, Thanks mate. Yeah the trees are massive here in the Dandenongs. I'd say its pretty easy to get work as a climber here, i came over on a working holiday visa which gave me the freedom to travel around Oz working and getting contacts!! I think the shallow face you can see is were we had the GRCS!There was a tree very close to this one which fell over just missing the house and disturbing the root system to the tree we dismantled, you can see it in the video. Thanks again for the comment

awesome job!!. Never get tired to watch it. I can see the respect and brotherhood with your workers. congrats!!!

My most sincere respect to you guys, awesome job

Wow! you guys are surgeons in the sky. Thats one awesome video, well done.

great job, way to demonstrate proper skills. I will never forget what a good feeling it was to only have the butt log left to fall.

thats on amazing video !!! the coolest job in the world!

Quality work all the way round there Matey, great to watch

Im a retired tree man. this video is amazing.

Bas ass video. Great Job! Very motivating to see good climbers play it safe and have fun while doing it.

That is a good job loved the video and love doimg the work i share with you u have done one of my dream job but av only been in the arb for a year now keep the good videos comeing

Hey Ant, Thanks for the nice comment! Really glad myself and reg coats vids are helping you out!

Them dogs on that saw.. jesus !! Also love seeing stihl logo. Stihl strong stihl people.

Breathtaking! Respect!

I could only thumb this clip it once, deserves about three more zeros on the views and the same for the number of thumbs up. Awesome video!!!

Watching this as we're all trapped on Covid 19 lockdown, a little vicarious freedom.

I love your vid its in my inspirational section. Just wanna say that I think you are soo cool man! And the Arbor glory is now on your side because of that vid LoL :-)

Stunning Guys!

I usually comment on people that should never be allowed to touch a chain saw. nice work carry on...

Now THAT is a job!

great job!!!

After those two tops come down all shit breaks loose in this video I love it so much thank you God Almighty

Great movie and nice views! In the future is the trees here in Denmark only shrubbery! ....too bad, I was born under the wrong trees!

Ah yes, it's obvious now! The lowering Capstan. Doh! Thanks for the quick reply, and keep uploading the great videos... I'm still trying to find a good way of mounting my bullet helmet camera to the Petzl lid. Any suggestions would be greatly received :)

controlled..... secure.... safe..... good job. respect. 3k in the pocket :-)

Najlepsza praca ever :)

Dude! This would be so fun! Jelly

cheers for the reply mate

AWESOME !!!

Hey man amazing vid I've watched it countless times and always inspires me to get up some trees. What do you use to edit your vids?

And!!! Zero👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Couldn’t get a better sound!!!!!!! Thank you All my employees think I have a screw loose But,,,,, They aren’t “real genuine climbers “

Some guys are out working while some guys are working out. No confusion about who these guys are.

Awesome 😎

Respect.

Interesting tree. I've never seen anything like it.

Really cool video. When you was blocking down how comes you was putting 3 cuts in where the line goes. I understand the ones under the gob to stop it pealing down your flip line. Keep up the good work. It really makes me want to get my harness on.

Great video. Thanks for sharing it. What is the reason for putting a cut in the bark under the notch you just cut out? btw i'''m not a tree person but just enjoy your work and video

super work dude! what are the slots cut into the chogs for? is the bark that smooth that you have to do that??!! Gnarly!

nice job

Well deserved hugs at the end, good stuff guys. I have almost the identical helmet setup. Vertex vent, peltor muffs, and the Contour Roam. Same color too. Was that kernmaster you were climbing on? Well done. Be safe.

Good safe take down...

hello mate been watching your videos for a while now and really am amazed im a trainee climber looking for inspiration to help me improve on my climbing and yours and also reg coats videos are helping a lot to improve my techniques i have mentioned you on om my unfinished page lol and will post links to your videos would love to work with you someday cheers david be well and safe climbing ant

참멋진분이네요 ㅡ 🤔👍👍 보는게 즐거워요

Eucalyptus trees are dangerous . Because they're grows fast and have short life. Nice work.

G'day Dave, great video, what are those two small shallow cuts you do on both sides and under the scarf for, before the back cut?

Respect

I greatly appreciate climbers that work as you are. Your video is inspiring and it is not the first time I watch it. Just a little question, What is the tool you use in 10:18 in order to make a wedge in big trunks is called?

i have been chopping out trees next to my house as they have got too big and rotten in the trunk, i would love to have some ropes!- and a chain saw

What I want to know is how powerful was that chain saw that you were using?

Great job! Why did you lower the top half of the wood from the tree and then bomb the rest?

I remember I found this before I ever climbed, still a fucking monster. Talented climbers.

what was the girth at the base just wondering tree looks massive.Stihl model and bar size for size to tree.shur not 201 top handle lol.wish you would have gave us a 360 view what I saw was amazing.And how much top sway was there I seen 5 to 7 foot is that about right.

Nice work, David. They sure grow big over there! A couple of questions, if I may... How easy/difficult is it to get work as a climber in Aus?, and that monster looked like someone had put a shallow face cut in the base at some stage. Failed attempt at falling it by an amateur would be my guess... Keep the videos coming, I'm also a fan of Reg.

curto todos os seu videos amigo

Nice cuts . Dunno about the left-handed chainsaw use tho haha ..

awesome! marl to running bowline eh? are you against clove hitches?

what is the density of the wood like? i cant tell if its a solid wood or like a fiberus wood.

I cut trees from the bottom....love watching from a safe distance
