Birch tree zip line removal

[Adam Bourne]

This was the second tree on the chestnut site I mentioned in the other video. Unfortunately on watching the footage back there's a fair bit missing, including the wood and a few branches. I'm sure there about somewhere. If I find them I'll take the video down and redo it from scratch.

 

Anyway I wanted to keep this nice and simple for john on the floor. There was a few expensive ornaments that conventional rigging would have just made it hard work for john and there really wasn't no decent redirects. Also a nice slope stopped us from dropping anything due to the greenhouse and retaining wall below. So don't forget to adjust to HD and enjoy

How was the line getting tensioned mate? Was the groundie doing it by hand or did it get tensioned with a pulley around the base of something else?

John just took a couple of wraps around the base of another tree, he put the tension in that was required by hand! There was really no need to complicate things with anything else in the system

I see good stuff mate

 

It helps when limbs are a fair distance from the zip lines main Anchor. if I had done it without then with the slack in the system at that height it would of just ploughed into stuff I didn't want it to. Or it would have been close! Not worth the risk though

Nice video Adam very, efficient set up.

I will need to do something similar on a willow next week to get the overhanging stuff back in to my customers garden from next door.
