Redneck drone recovery

I bet a few of you wish you could've done this at some point.

One way to get it. Hope the tree was on your property.
All mine weren’t .

 

[hashfly]

not my vid but yea it's that dudes property. His wife was not too happy about losing an oak

I can think of at least two ways that would be less intrusive. Slingshot, small weight, light line, & rope; shoot weight with fishing line over limb, pull heavier rope over - yank and shake. No luck coming loose? Pull up a high limb rope chainsaw and sacrifice just one limb.

I have a telescopic 50' fiberglass pole that would do the job nicely as well.

Climbing belt and spurs may have been a better approach.

 

[Steve M]

Umm, I would not be proud to retrieve a drone that way.

Man that is one dull chain saw. I would have attached a rope up as high as I could and shook the tree...

Either his chain is needs sharpening or he needs to learn how to use a chainsaw

Not really sure the term "redneck" would be the right word - I can think of other words that would be more appropriate

 

[ChipDjipro]

I love it. ?

How about heavy shoes, gloves and eye protection?

Loose an Oak, gain a drone. Sounds fair to me! ?

My teenagers used a fishing pole.... they are good at fly fishing so it didn’t take them long to snag it... one pulled slightly and the other actually caught it.

 

[LazerMan]

Flip flops and short pants and a chainsaw, and no clue as to how to cut down a tree great combination

Does it sound like Richard head.

Really, lose an oak to get a drone that could have been taken down 10 different ways, "silly". And yeah, for the next tree, sharpen the chain saw. Well, at least use the oak in a fireplace.

From what we see I’m thinking that’s not the first drone that landed in a tree around there

Good advice above....but gaining momentum from the swing ...I would have launched into the air....grabbed the done ...done a double somersault a pike and finished with a one hand-stand (of course) with drone in the other. All the best in the future and stay safe mate...from Down Under.
