Good to hear Chris :thumbup:

No, you can get most any tree done with just natural crotches. but in doing so you limit your options....that's all im saying. For example, if you're rigging just to avoid stuff at or just above ground level then crotches are just fine. But when the targets become higher like buildings and...

Natural crotching has its place....especially on defective structures. But on large rigging removals, while a climber might get off to a good start, the result of all that friction can be come quite a handicap, and limit your options....if speed is the incentive of course. Well rounded climbers...

So who actually got threatened with a lawsuit ? Was it you stig ? I think David and Bonner actually get on pretty well together now days. They even shared a room at a more recent tcia expo....since all the evil deeds that took place, that you speak of. So, WTF ? When somebody puts themselves in...

Listen, I started this thread with he best of intentions. Theres a difference between selling and sharing. This lawsuit that you speak of sound pretty unlikely to actually materialize unless theres grounds. You cant win a lawsuit purely because somebody spoke of Antal availability and pricing...

usually spells doom. its a shame

Its not a theory, its a fact....and a pretty standard practice now for at least as long as Ive been doing treework. Ive been at this for a while now, Adrian. I dont feel like I need Nick and Carl to tell me how to rig trees. Who is Carl Rutherford by the way ? It is actually really easy to...

Storm in a teacup that one, Stig. It's like saying don't mention Harken on a GRCS thread. The thing is Harken and Antal know about boats, not trees. That's where Greg and David stepped in.

I'd have said the same thing....until I started using them. It's not so much about pushing the limits of your rigging. ..more about making the best of the situation. When I'm about to catch the top of a sketchy tree, its good to know I have things in my favor. So there's less likely hood of a...

it actually makes a big difference Adrian....how forces and friction are directed and distributed from a porty to a rigging point. That which can be either retention or failure of the rigging point. Same principle as using a base anchor for srt....or redirects, whatever. Nobodies in a loop...

I think it would depend on how the line diam and ring size match up....same as the with a lowering device. The large Porta wrap for example is apparently good to go with a 3/4 line according to the manufacturers....yet it does not have the + 4 bend ratio to ensure the max strength of the line...

I lived in St Mary's 92-93 Chris.

I have no idea.

Cory they come in various configurations ie choker, single length/line, or with the eye at each end. Some have 2 and 3 eyes at one end for heavy falling logs. I rarely need a bigger line than 5/8 out here. So you can set the eye or ring without it hanging far below a cut with the single length...

As the title says. Unrehearsed, so not as articulate as it could have been. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3-q9yxyS4BM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
