Hi

 

If this helps, for my first rigging kit Im considering:

 

Fairly decent sized pulley block 100/150Kn

16mm Sirius rope seems well spec'd at reasonable price

dead eye slings, rigging plate & couple of steel crabs

Stein bollard

 

I would add 'an ability to predict the outcome of your cuts & appreciate the forces involved' My rigging/slinging knowledge was acquired in the engineering world, sometimes involving several tons & as someone previously mentioned you'll always be learning...

Oh I see. Yeah it would be nice but nothing to touch the deck without a rope on it unfortunately. It's going to be a nightmare. The job is in about a month so I will let people know how it goes once done. Thanks for all the input

 

 

How did the pop job go and what method did you decide on?

 

Thanks

It never went ahead in the end. The neighbour was too concerned about his lawn and the guy I working for had to put more on the job when he realised how careful we had to be and the customers didn't like that I guess.

To be honest the job was an accident waiting to happen so I'm kinda pleased it never went ahead.

Suppose sometimes a job is not worth the hassle! Cheers for replying.

To be honest mate when I saw the tree and the price, I'd have put 4 times the amount on it at least. It was a hell of a tree and one even with the right cash on it I would have still not been happy. With a good drop zone it would have been fine it not fun. But if trees were all in the middle of fields I doubt many of us would have a job.
