I got faith in you but uh you won't take offense if I move my truck right I I
said I got faith in you but you won't take offense if I move my truck right
I don't know how you do it man there's no way I'd get myself that far off the
ground yeah got one down two down that fixin to cut this one this one and that
one down today and then during the week I'm gonna be cleaning them up and then
next weekend he'll come out and we'll cut we got 16 all together coming down
this one he's actually gonna hire himself some help and it's gonna have to
come down in pieces because it's all hanging over the garage and that's gonna
be the big one there they're all as we go that that way they get a little
bigger but that's five four today and it'll take me a week and clean them up
and action all right what we have here is we have a tree over here by the
driveway it has all the weight on the back side now it's not such a big tree
that we probably couldn't pull it by hand but because there is a fence and
the flowerbed in the house and a truck on the other side we're gonna set up a
come-along system on it so that we can pull it over and make sure it doesn't go
the wrong way now what we have we have a tree here that we can anchor it to that
would pull the trigger cause the fire pit we have another tree on the other
side that would pull it across the little oak tree that we're trying to
save so what I've done is I've set up a running line in between the two trees
that we can anchor
and I've used a pencil hand ascender as an anchor point that will allow this to
slide back and forth but when we get it where we want it it's gonna lock in
place as we pull it and make sure it all comes the right direction now we have
this rope this is a three eight six thousand pound rope I have it tied up
close to the top of the tree and as you can see me pulling on it with my two
hundred pounds give it plenty of pull
but just to make it safer and easier
we're gonna run this through a pulley here anchor it back in here just run
back up the rope about 2/3 of the way
run it through this pulley
and this gives us three lines it's pulling on the top of that tree which
gives us a three to one poll ratio so we got a 6,000 pound rope on the tree
we got a 9,000 rope tied in between the two trees now because this tree is a
little bit longer that's what this rope is that right here we're gonna take and
run it back get another pulley right here
so we can actually pull this whole thing sideways and the reason we got I gotta
pull it sideways cuz there's a pond right there and I have fallen into this
pond if anybody watches my videos a lot they'll remember when I took a dive in
here fell out of the boat
we can come over here pull this and that pulls that tree right where we're going
all right I'm ready but I think I'm gonna put a lock on the rope okay so
that when you pull it so it won't go backwards it'll lock in I don't have to
sit there and hold it I got you okay okay so so that we don't have to worry
about holding the rope as we pull this thing over and we don't lose the tension
in the rope I've used a climbing not called a VT or a vol detain trace on the
tail line of the three the three phase pull line now when we pull the tail line
it's going to allow the rope to run through that not one direction but when
you ease up on it it's going to hold the other direction so you can pull it get
tension on it we grab the rope without having to worry about tightening back up
and pull it again and we get a three two one pull ratio on
the top of the tree as you can see so much that tree move
we took a little about a little bit of effort on my part over here you can see
them they're got pulled back straight and this is gonna hold tight right here
we can leave this along while we cut the notch it'll be ready to go all right let
me get my gloves on and when you want me to start yanking you want me to yank
constantly or there's snake on that right there you see the snake by the
first for right by the by the first fork going going away from the pier right
there yep and she did have God a half a dozen big water moccasins but the chief
of police came out here and shot them all for her yeah okay
I'm use the most modern cutting technique to throw this tree I'm gonna
come in here and make a real steep notch that only goes into little ways I make
it close to a ninety degree not as I can that will allow the tree to fall all the
way to the ground before it has to break loose then I'm going to come in behind
the point of the notch and do a bore cut straight through the middle and come
forward and set the hinge up so that the tree will have a spot to bend to go down
I'm going to leave the back for the very last I'm going to set the hinge up I'm
gonna come into the back I'm going to leave a back strap I'm about an inch and
a half or two inches gonna let let him go over there and get on the rope and
when he gets set up I'm gonna do a snap cut above on the back cut and then I'm
gonna move out the way and be out of the way of the tree when he pulled it and it
comes on
okay as you can tell as a tree hit the ground the hens that we made stayed
intact the bore cut came through and set up the hinge and then we came up above
it did our back cut cut the back strap out and we were able to pull it snap the
fiber wood in the back and let the tree fall over stay connected stay controlled
all the way until it hit the ground thanks for watching that's what you call
experience
