Dead willow winching

[Peter Bomen]

It doesn't always have to be big trees to be fun. The laurel bush was kind of sacred for the owner, so we had fun puzzling this tree apart without (or minimal) damage to the laurel. The anchor tree next to the dead willow was an Acer negundo, so we were pretty careful with the force vectors on those anchors...

We were with only 2 of us at the job, that's why I did the rigging with the portawrap on my end. It would have been difficult for my friend to run both ropes!

Your groundy is making a really annoying background noise🤔

Good work. What device was he winching with?

 

 

This isn't a common expression in English.

We used a smart rigging winch.

And about the expression... There was a motorcycle driving by, and my friend heard that through the intercom. He asked me if that was a really loud fart of mine (that does happen sometimes...) I thought that would not be really clear, but I left it there anyway

What background noise are talking about? you mean the voices in the music?

What do you prefer: steel carabiner or Hexarope Hands Up?

This was the first time I used it so I'm not sure yet. I did notice that the hands up stays cinched better (is this correct English?). The weight of the steel biner can loosen the cinched rope, where the hands up doesn't. Probably because this is the small hands up for up to 12mm on a 12mm rope so it sits tight on the rope.

A steel biner still is easier and quicker, but I do like the hands up
