Must look worse on video than what it actually was Sean....because being there it just wasn't a concern.

Thanks again Tim, the video and all was pretty easy to set up. I put in a bit more effort than normal because it was a favor for someone else. The truth is it was a straight forward, low risk job that looks cool on video. My biggest concern was one of the guys getting excited and running one...

I often watch Bens vids and smile contently....because its him up there and and not me :) Rigging big logs all the time was the norm before moving out here. Tedious. Check this out Jed. Its an old one.....and youll notice some text overlay that shouldn't be there from other videos I took it...

Thanks Jed. The vid and edit make it look like something....but the truth is it was easy mate. Straight up pole with slow taper. Just a lot of logs to rig in an afternoon. But if your techniques are well rehearsed there's nothing to it. The same can't be said for a big fat hardwood .

Hey Pete. The Bollard, block and face cut were all offset from each other....in that order. So, no chance of the log colliding with the line. Hard to tell but the tree was leaning away from the house, so I used that in my favor for work positioning and tipping the logs. They were left hanging...

Like I said Dave, its not a new thing, for me at least. If youre not used to seeing or doing it, then it probably doesn't look 'correct'. But, to be fair the rigging line is not baring down on the climbline with the full weight of the load.....rather, its just running along side it. If you were...

In the UK, when I started out....that was the standard. Probably it still is. I know in North America you have both lines above the block. I got into that habit for a few years....but seem to have reverted back at some point without realising. Perhaps the thinking in Europe was to eliminate the...

sometimes theres contact, but it never really gets glazed or burnt. If you use a cows hitch for the sling, as opposed to a say a timber hitch, then there's less chance of contact. As the bulkiness of a cows sits the block a little further out from the stem. Plus it's a stronger knot. If youre...

Ha, that's a good one

Thanks again Chris, for the thinner logs I had a 3/4 sling with 5/8 Portland braid. Then a 1 inch sling with 3/4 line for the heavier logs that had to be stopped more suddenly.....both were polydyne. Eric, for me it'd be Yale first, then Samson perhaps. They've been at it forever and take all...

Thanks all. Cheers Dano. It'll just get copied though, and passed off as someone else's idea. Re: the chipping. It's funny working in this region, a lot of the firs are much taller than what you think....until you start climbing through and past all the limbs....gradually getting more...

Sawdust as well. Too much really, but I couldn't afford to leave the site to dump. I just noticed all the sawdust and foliage on the roof, dam!

All in a days work Cory. I was more more worried about getting all the chip on one load than what i was taking the tree down.

Thanks. They all had a thin streak of hinge wood Cory

I really rate this company, above all other rope manufactures. I made a short video for them from yesterdays job. Use HD setting <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Nv3Mv2bD4vE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
