Logger For a Day

I had the opportunity to fell five large Douglas Firs yesterday. They ranged in size from about 120ft to 150ft tall. We had to fell them all due west because of power lines to the south. I used my trusty Big Shot to set ropes in the trees. Then we applied a 3to1 pully system and pulled them down one by one. All the trees came down perfectly without any problems, except for the poison oak on my arms. Here is video of three of the biggest one coming down.

Enjoy.

Where can I find an exceptional arborist in calgary? I need to find one around my area. I hate when someone has to travel a long distance.

That's quite the undertaking! I had no idea arborists had such active jobs. I should have thought that they would work with more trees than just the little, residential ones. Thanks for the post!
