Vertical speed line?

[elesar]

Has anyone used this before and if so is it effective?

[Lorry thompson]

I use an invisible one all the time mate especially on takedowns:lol:

its good for banking work but if you are using slings watch they dont slacken when hitting the ground.

you may live in a land of flatness, but i dont. If i have to take a tree down on a steep banking and it is surrounded by other trees, and speed lines arent possible. I will tie the off below my cut and the base of the tree, cut n push, the chunk of wood will fall to the earth and land and not move anywhere, then 1 of my trusty mountain goat like groundies will then manouvere it into a safe place, trying to stand a lower stuff that is heavy while struggling to balance isnt easy, trust me in the right situation its good:001_smile:

think i will stick to ringing down and chucking flat!

 

or making a brash pad to cushion

Tony- it really is an effective way of stopping things rolling around on the ground....e.g. a sloping garden with a posh conservatory at the bottom...the last thing you want is for an errant log to roll into it...this way it is roped to the tree..
