Spear cut: We know it as the "gypsy slash". Very effective in the right situation. So is a tear cut, though I saw one guy come a cropper using it to section a lateral willow limb over a trellis.

 

Advanced rigging can be a real time saver when appropriate, but it can also be a time wasting faff when not. In a right tree a simple bit of natural crotch rigging does the job fine.

 

If you can manage without the shiny kit as well as with it then you have a broader spectrum to work with, IMO.

 

If you wanna see real basic kit, look up Bolam's "Big Cedar Snatch Fail" or something like that. I bet the tight arse didn't want to splash out on kit :001_tt2:

You might be impressed with what i can rig with a lil bit of rope but on arbtalk to many women start moaning about it lol. Plus all my trade secrets cant be revealed ;P.
