been around for years mate, not really specific to tree work, but the principle is there....been thinking of something similar to use as i need a anchor for a also similar speedline.....

Was going to set one up yesterday but tree ended up to risky ( decayed at base ) i just cut 'n' chucked everything.

 

Another tree or vehicle may be best anchor it somtimes is hard to find a tree that is good location or get vehicle where you need it.

 

I was thinking about positive and negatives of this the other day..i suppose the negs of a ground anchor is hitting underground utilities, roots and working on embankments.

 

would be great is someone could design something for this...more than a couple of occasions i could have used a ground anchor for ziplining.

Brilliant video

[theXman]

thank you about the music response. i think i might now make another version with no music.

 

about the earth anchors. The one we used was a duckbill D88 in rope rigging I.

 

cost about $30 US.

 

sorry, don't know the conversion.

 

but sacrificial amount of money easily. you can't get them out, easily.

 

the 88 is good for average of 3,000 lbs in normal soil.

 

there is now a bigger one. MUCH bigger in size. called a model 138, hold 9,800 lbs in most soil!

 

One is about $35 I think.

 

comes with the anchor, plus a short cable section with an eye and thimble.

Nice video. I'm with the music tho. Get rid of it. Much better to listen to a saw going off.
