Or not play super hero’s and do the job properly!

 

Thas a helpful comment on a job you have not seen. 2 trees, i deader than hell and crispy,  the other solid and taller so ideal for a remote, main anchor point.  No access for a MEWP, Tracked cherry picker, crane etc.  No other trees close enuf to string up a temporary horizontal anchor between them.  I am interested to see what reusable rig was used when this subject was discussed previously on Arbtalk.

doesnt sound like an ideal set up, how much of a swing is there to the main anchor point?

you say you want the weaklink to be re settable.... how many times do you think the tree is going to disintergrate during the dismantle!!!!?

could you set a line between two trees to get you directly above the dodgy tree?

A fair swing indeed. a re-settable rig is better than using cable ties as it'd be quicker to reset plus you may only use such a setup a few times per year but once it's proven and in your armoury it can be reused over and over again when required.

I don’t need to see the job, trust me it’s good advice!
