Just though I’d better contribute something to the forum or otherwise I may as well not be a member as of late.

 

I’ve lost interest in for the video’s just recently….this footage was taken about 6 weeks ago but I just haven’t had the enthusiasm look through it. Anyway, I finished early today and sorted it. Nothing special just a mature multi-stemmed Beech not far from here. The client had specified absolutely no damage to the lawn so it was all rigging and pretty straight forward at that. Quite a drag out for the guys but at least they had a clear run.

 

The video is taken from the helmet camera which unfortunately ran out of battery before the end….although, you don’t miss much. Enjoy the vid and I hope you are all well.

are you not worried about side loading the big binner

 

It is indeed a big binner, 7 ton as I recall, ISC, real easy to work....even with gloves. Consider the routing of the rope around the branches then there's really nothing on it. So no worries Bob

If you guys are worried about that binner you should probably get out of treework.

 

If your not asking the questions then.................

 

 

 

 

 

Does not detract from some nice smooth work though

Thought similar- be interesting to see how it's sideloaded rating compares to the swl of the rope

 

I wish I had more interests Pete. FWIW, the Biner was never side loaded, and just to elaborate on my reply to Bob….the half hitch + rope/branch friction takes an awful lot of sting out of the load before it reaches the Krab i.e. like wraps around a friction bollard. If anything, I found the job frustrating because the branch structure prevented me from letting go with any big stuff. The way it goes sometimes!

nice vid reg....i use the same theory also when i rig....i nearly always clip the crab on like you did, but with a cross in the rope before hand to take the loading. im sure theres 101 reasons why this isnt the best way to do it, but for smaller stuff, providing you're using a good krab such as the ISC big dan, i really dont see a problem. perhaps this should get its own thread sometime.
