Recommended Posts

Hi all,

As well as working for my Local authority i also subbie for 2 local companies.I have a basic rigging setup capatan and block etc which i seem to be using more often of late.

My problem is the ground guys i get are usually not used to rigging trees and have little to no knowledge of a rigging system.

Its difficult to get guys good at lowering when i only work with them now and then.Is there any other system i could utilise to make it easier on the ground guys...xrings perhaps.

Im open to ideas not critisism please

Thanks folks

Make a little rigging model

So you can explain easier and faster.

 

Now THAT is a great idea - I know to a lot of us its obvious, but when theres a trainee or a 'slow' or unfamiliar groundie it's just the job. :thumbup1::thumbup1:

I can see the sense in that but rigging newbies tend to be pooping themselves and would have to face the wrath of the boss/client/workmates taking the pee if anything goes wrong.

 

They lack faith in the climber/rope/bollard/ability and generally end up with way too much friction in the system. As son as you are a couple of feet away they start questioning themselves and generally not having a good time of it.

 

Good rigging isn't something most people can learn by "suck it and see"

 

A model is a good teaching aid but if the fert hits the spinner, you immediately come to the question of "working of instructing" I wouldn't want to be pointing at the model and saying "well I told him what to do"............. :001_rolleyes:
