Tall Fir Rigging

[RC0]

The Husky has stood up well, Ian. Never missed a beat. Most of the logs were just rolled out of the way, 16in is standard firewood size here and almost every home owner want to keep it. We used the barrow just for the ones I had to rip....wasn't worth the AT, the barrow was just as good for those short pieces.

 

Kev I don't worry about it. Its wool also, so I never need to wash it.

 

Thanks

Yeah I saw it. Not sure what inspired it, but it made me laugh nonetheless.

I mean proportionally tall, at 150, but only 3ft dbh. Lots of chunks to rig down....I got some on film. Stormy day, but a safe tree to climb.

 

 

 

Use HD setting. Thanks

 

 

 

 

 

Another cool video of your work reg.

 

The soundtrack bought back "Madchester " memories!

Thanks

Hi Reg

do you take a vast amount of binners and sling up with you or keep having to haul up, I always think this is the down side of zip lines.

 

any reason you stopped the log short or were you breaking in a new groundie lol

I love the top coming in just before the house!

Cracking job as usual!

I have 11 straps, w steel twistlock. They soon get used up on a tree like that but its still much quicker than using a haulback line.

 

The guy running the ropes, Kim, is old school....uses trunk wraps mostly, climbs on a taut line hitch. He's totally solid and a meticulous worker and company owner, but sorta set in his ways. To be fair you don't get rattled quick so much with the polydine rope, and on a tall conifer....they seem to sway rather than shudder. Thanks

Hey Reg, what was the system at the bottom of the speedline. Look like the line was quite high then rope went slack near when branch neared the ground.

Was it hand held with a pulley 10ft or so in the tree?

Great work and great thinking to pull that off.
