Another Zaccheus learning material video

[AHPP]

 

He keeps making videos you can really take things away from. Two things that stood out to me on this one:

 

1:04 - I was screaming at him to rig it. I'm sure he could have spent more time on a better cut and dropped it flatter but why? You're going to rig forty other branches. Just rig forty-one. You always do a couple of easy ones first thing to get a feel for it anyway. Well I do anyway.

 

3:25 - Did he have to lift it that far? No.

4:17 - But did it just make life peaceful, predictable, quiet, safe? Yes.

"Well that was the only easy one we've done so far."

That's why I lift when I don't need to. It's just nice.

P.S. Bonus one. 9:03 - Just another advert for lifting.

Yes, good ad for the grcs.   
I’ll watch the second half tonight.

Love it Alex, another great vid.

I’m always impressed how he owns his mistakes, very un-American!

 

You’re spot on about the cock up on the first limb.

Like you I often rig a couple of initial pieces unnecessarily to get a feel for the system and how the wood is hinging etc.

Rigged pieces are normally easier for the ground crew as well.

 

Looking forward to the stem/mill vid.

I like in his other recent video when he said he needed to look after the yew tree then threw a branch at it.

Aye. I'm watching him cut needless corners on the other screen in a different video. I didn't say he was perfect. I said you can learn a lot from watching him.

Agreed, very engaging videos.
