Little rigging video from yesterday.

only a short edit, watch in 720!

nice cutting bro, a couple of tips if you like, or maybe if you not like? it sure as hell is the way i learnt!

 

try using slings to attach branches, its way quicker and you wont be tempted to choker the krab like you do in your vid, i know that the choked krab isn't taking all the load due to your half hitch but its still a quick way to damage your krab.

 

secondly instead of top tying tie JUST above the balance point that way the pieces will float off instead of jerking, this decreases the force on you rigging anchor massivley some times, to the extent that cutting a much hevier section can actually reduce the force on your anchor, it's hard to picture at first but just have a go for fits & giggles one day 7 you'll soon see what i mean, you can exploit the centre of gravity to gain ground clearance alos, it also helps your groundie out when manouvering pieces as they reach the ground

 

hope it prooves to be well received constructive criticism x

Looks like it's at the top of a slope to me.....

At a guess it was rigged to stop the branches bouncing down the slope into the house below. Good stuff, but i second the use of slings rather than cross loading krabs.
