English Reeve

[softbankhawks]

Forestry skylines are similar but the english reeve as an entity, if I'm not mistaken, comes directly from high angle rescue. The outcome is the same, ability for multi-directional movement.

We have an abundance of anchor trees, thinking back to my time in the south-east of england then it'd be harder to imagine having the facility to install so much rigging gear, surely you are right, you could go a lifetime without wanting or needing this system.

Watching Will Koomijan's tree-verse lecture in the states and he said the same thing but there is a fundamental conceptual/working change after having used new techniques, we automatically begin to see areas of application that before were out of reach. I firmly believe in the practice of new ideas because a kit bag rammed full of technique is certainly more beneficial than an empty one.

Anyways, I see this working splendidly for our next big speed line job, we will rig it over the tree and literally create the mythical 'sky hook'!

I attached a picture but it may not help explain anymore, I don't have anymore.....yet. To be continued....!
