A marine company spliced the dead-eyes Carl.

 

The Bag is a new design specially for crane rigging. I got sick of slings getting caught and snagged on the way through canopies etc so came up with the idea. Available soon. I'll have some video explaining the whole technique in the next couple of days. Stevie, yes the orange slings are just to stabalise....choke first at the COG then stabalise if need be. If not, the slings can be left tucked in the bag without getting in the way.

 

The Crane was really the only way to go because of the hedge almost directly underneath.

 

I think 5-6 cuts average per tree. Heaviest top was 4 tons.

 

Sorry if I ve missed anyone, thanks again.
