100m Blind Redirected Winching

[liamjordan]

Well following on from my thread yesturday about a http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/picture-forum/44617-poplar-dismantle.html i have been doing over the weekend, today was very interesting.

 

I was planning on finishing quickly this morning as i just had to cut the stump lower and finish tidying up, but nothing ever that simple is it.

 

As i dropped the stem yesturday (fell about 20ft in one) it landed on all the lumps i had rigged down, this was my plan so i could ring it up, but it knocked two of them down the bank and into the stream, i should have noticed how far they were in yesturday but i didnt, so today came to move them and realised there was about 3ft of the one submerged... we manged to pull and hand ball the smaller one out but we had to set all this up for the other.

 

Just made this up with bits and bobs i had with me, it worked really well and was a good expirence. I didnt actually winch it beacuse i didnt have the battery cables for the winch with me, so we had to just pull out the winch rope and reverse the landy.

Nice one Liam, sure looks like you sorted it in the end:thumbup:

 

Just a bit of advice(as usual), be careful pulling winch line with the landy, they aren't designed for it. The load you were pulling here wouldn't harm it though I dare say.

 

Just out of curiosity, how did you get the cable back in if you didnt have the remote with you? Did you just do the bumper wrap tidy?
