Ah, well, you might want to provide that info at the top of a post next time, ha ha. If you're doing some research into rigging ops or are looking into it then you might want to take a look at ' The Art And Science Of Practical Rigging'

 

Treesource Tree Care Practice

 

Also I have a copy of Liam McKeown's rigging report which is thoroughly mind-melting material.

you wont learn anything from reading books get yourself down acme corp watch a few episodes of road runner and then go put it in to practice,

Good Luck!!

Or just be a bit more specific with the questions. We've had some fun but we would all answer direct questions if asked.

Also,there are many threads in the rigging and roping forum that you might like to read, or ask some questions on topics,lol.

It just doesn't suit me.

learn from the ground first, you got to know how to let stuff, run, feed in or take up slack, snatch etc, watch how other people do it, then start small, observe how different sized pieces re-act, where to tie on for a disired effect, best way to do this is on the job with a crew that know what they are doing. and get rid of your pegs!! no matter how hard you try, that little pg you leave for a nice absiel down will bugger up everything! and as a rule of thumb, use big kit on small pieces.

Why's eveyrone saying get trained, i bet very few on here have donethe NPTC cert for rigging..or anythng else more than CS39, I havn;t and can rig perfectly well.

Having said that, It's dead simple and if you can't work it out yourself its probably best not to try it.

Its always useful to go on a training course, I was rigging for years before we went on a rigging course with Treevolution. It really opened my eyes to better techniques, safe working practices, understanding the physics of what you are doing. The fist thing we did when we got back from the course was binned all the ropes and old stuff we'd been using and seriously upgraded everything.

I'll deffinatley agree with you on using crappy old ropes, i've climbed for a few people who use ropes in a rediculous condition. However for learning techniques i think it's hard to beat reg's headcam vids and similar stuff on you tube i'm sure its way ahead of what the courses are teaching. But if the courses were cheaper say £250 per head rather than nearer £500 i'd probably go on one anyway, just in case.
