Great work - that must have been pretty tiring as well...

Great stuff Reg. A pleasure to watch, and very aspirational. May i just echo Deans comment.

Another classic Reg, I like the 2:1 pulling rope and the double ropes on the big sections.

Awesome,what a great set of videos,

 

That was well thought out double rigging at the end with large bits of wood in a small drop zone.Well done

Smooth smooth smooth, liking the zip line and thinking what a good idea the 2:1 Tag line set up was and as for the twin lowering lines on the stem take down wow you can really see the benefit.

 

As always Reg your video's are a joy to watch.

Never thought of using double ropes on larger timber...nice job reg ,thanks for posting!

[alex_m]

good stuff again!

i always enjoy a good rigging video /geek

 

 

i did make a thread on the subject, but what helmet cam do you use reg? seems to get a good frame rate and the audio is good.

Thanks guys, always a pleasure.

 

You wouldn’t believe how much I had to leave out though, enough cuts to make another video at least.

 

The Lowering devices will be available next month.

 

The helmet camera is the pov1, great for tree-work although the colour seems to be lacking compared to a normal vid-cam.

 

The 2:1 system is handy if you have a ground anchor, only drawback his having the drag from the extra amount of line hanging off your harness, especially if it’s a tall tree = more drag.

 

The double rigging on the heavy blocks takes a little longer to set up but on heavy stuff is far friendlier on the ropes and gives a whole lot of confidence where you have little room to let the section run. Our LD is ideal for this as both barrels give the same performance and are part of the same unit….this was further aided by joining both legs of the lowering lines together (ground-workers end) via a prussic loop and then connecting the loop to an addition single rope. In doing so the ground worker is able to keep a consistent rate of descent on both lines by working/controlling the attached single rope.

Great video Reg. Great to see a proper amount of time given to a job like that to allow it to be completed in a safe and controlled way. Really like the simple speedline and the twin ropes when snatching out the big sections at the end.

 

Thanks for taking the time to edit it all together.
