I had the good fortune to be invited to attend a workshop this week presented by Greg Good, sponsored by the Portland, OR Dept. of Urban Forestry.
Greg is a heck of a nice guy, and really knows his stuff when it comes to safe rigging practices. He can, of course, get the most out of a GRCS as any man out there...but if you gave him just the basic tools he'd be able to maximize the opportunities available as well.
It was a pleasure to spend the day with Greg, and really get an appreciation of just what the GRCS can do. An amazing tool.
Here's a few pics. This first set shows use of multiple blocks to share loading for dropping this butt hitched limb. The elm is pretty seriously compromised, with several areas of rot in the leads and main trunk.
