Some bits and pieces from last few months

Finally got round to going through the camera and editing some thing together longer than a 15 sec Instagram clip I'm still learning to turn it on when working and charging battery's helps! [ame]

Nice variety of clips there Matty, I enjoyed that, especially the speedlining bits.

 

What set up do you usually use for running on the line?

nice vid that Matty. quality work, cheers for posting

[MattyF]

Cheers pete.

The zip line consisted of a 16 mm double braid rope on to a hobbs type device for tensioning as a main line the pulley is a large ISC swing cheek going on to a medium rigging plate with an old hank of 13mm line for retrieves and braking that can run through a porta wrap if needed this is secured to the back of the rigging plate and through a dmm block.

It was quite handy on that job as you could line up three -four limbs with slings on the rigging plate and send them all down once the last one was cut off releasing them all unfortunately the footage was unusable from knocking the camera well out!

the zip line with multiple pieces attached sounds efficient, and a fetching line to haul it back, good set up.

I wonder with some trees, like willow etc the horizontal force on the anchor could be a safety factor when dropping timber into the line.

I'd try and not put any TIP on the limb used as an anchor for the speed line for sure,Unless it was small....in all honesty though I've never lost a line anchor definitely back them up if it needs to be high with few half hitches and run the line down until you can tie it off on suitable substantial timber.

Nice speedlining. Thanks for sharing.

Great work, enjoyed watching.

Really nice stuff Matty.

Whenever I've set up a haulback on a speedline it's normally ended in a tangled clusterfeck and resulted in lots of swearing!

Lots of crabs and slings for me, which to be fair suit the smaller stuff I do better.

Loved the conny top.
