Thanks Pete. Although like Roger said, zipline been around for ever....but it doesn't hurt to be reminded of the option either. We've also used it to skid huge piles of grounded brush to roadsides also....used the stripped out tree as the spar pole; let the line sag over the brush while you...

Here's a good job we did the november before last, I believe. Powerlines and a road behind, and buildings in front. Several companies had looked at the job, and had priced in cranes, huge bucket trucks and road-blocks etc. Two rival companies asked me to look at at it with them. The solution was...

Yeah its called the Drift HD. I think its a 170 field of view. I have a new - new one too, but I'm having a couple issues with it. So I'm back to the old new one for now, which is actually smashed from a fall but still records.

I use it at every opportunity that's practical. It took me couple of weeks to get the hang of....but going back to a hitch just seems like hard work in comparison. Its expensive for what it is, but what it does makes me it worth it for me. I put in a lot of hours hard climbing each year.

The ground workers pull hard on the line once the cuts are set. That's what makes the limbs do a 180 and continue to elavate without dropping. But it won't work without the high point, 2/3 tie on the limb and the far away pulling force. Last few lowest limbs on the vid show it clearly. Of course...

As you can see I hardly had to think at all, let alone over think. Having to cut stuff small to drag it through gateways is a slow-ass way of working when you don't have to....as is also conventional rigging compared to a zipline much of the time. The cool thing (unlike conventional lowering) is...

Thanks Cory. Yeah the tree was a co-dominant....I only video'd the latter half. Its often a popular misconception that ziplines are limited to starting with the bottom and butt tying all the limbs....in which case you need plenty of air space to clear the obstacles down below. But I was trying...

Watch in HD setting. The video shows a controlled zipline, with the incentive being to maneuver/swing branches out of a confined area into a more open dropzone. In order for it to work you need to adhere to several points - The first is to establish a high-rigging point and an unimpeded (or as...
