I'm been chilling it for months...not very motivated to work all the time... some nagging injuries, sore spots..... at 66, I can't go all day every day the way i could when I was a whipper snapper...damn it....
Anyhow, the first is of a small hemlock which landed on a house. Lots of trees around to set rigging.... and did use four of them, all at once! GRCS and Hobbs combined made the job a breeze. Including a tag line, we had four (or five?) lines on it. Would have been one more, and another block, but I chose to provide the primary lift/support by utilizing just one line, in a double whip tackle configuration...block in a maple, down to a sling and block on the fallen tree, up through a natural crotch in a hemlock and terminated at the ground...so no need to climb or even Wraptor up that tree to retrieve any rigging.
Watch on YT, full screen and HD....
