can we not talk about that Brian. Probably my biggest mistake in the last 10 years. Cost me a small fortune. A black hole in every sense. edit or just no teasing at least. Lotta bad memories for me on that one...but I did learn a lot too.

And there you go. There's just not the money on the jobs to spread around, Jon. Homeowners wont pay for it. You could charge 5 bills, but you'd be down to maybe one, two days work per week.

You could use a really long prussic and choke the limb with a clevis....but there'd be no advantage. Not sure I understand about multiple slings and retrieving them later. Maybe one big and one small, but you keep them with you.

Its a tough town Ed. Jobs are won and lost over $10....and right now everyone is quiet and fighting over scraps of jobs. If you're not prepared to improvise, you just wont get the work. I work for probably half a dozen companies and this particular guy Scott is one of the rare few, ever, that...

Thanks again It was tied to the central lead, where it was clear down below. I rigged probably 10, 12 limbs....the rest were ok to drop. A few plus's is that you have two hands free to work, doesnt get in the way when not in use, dont need a huge length of line, and no doubling effect on the...

Thanks again....although, I always associate the word talent with the likes of musicians and sports-people. I consider tree workers as tradesmen, good and bad. When i worked in Australia 92-93, the company I worked for used to hire me as a climber to several others round and about the city. One...

Thanks a lot guys. Glad to get off the ground with my first thread here:thumbup: Cory, If you go through the rigging section on TB you'd realize that I've put hundreds of pics on that site over the last several years....the crane section too when I was doing a lot of that. 20, 30 at a time...

I made a short video about this a little while ago in the rain. It wasn’t very good. The photos here aren’t the best either but there’s plently of them at least. Some from cellphone, and I set a timelapse on a wide angled lens too, picked out the better shots....just experimenting really...
