I'm not 100 % sure , but why didn't he let the first two pieces run more.

 

They probably ran about 20 ft, although it's hard to see from the camera right underneath. I think there's a couple missing too, where he forgot to hit record.

 

I always anticipate the first few being less than perfect though.

 

That pole was probably 85ft or more, so yeah he had plenty more room. He pulled most of them up quicker than need be....not that it mattered so much, apart from scuffing the rope here and there.

 

A good thing with rigging tall conifers is that you get to use up lots of rope. That and the fact that they bend and Sway about so much, a shock load feels much less....shocking, if you know what I mean.

This 'running' sections is a relatively new phenomenon.

I spent many happy times rigging lumps off manky oaks and pops with topping down strops and 3-strand, locked off with trunk wraps.

Never did me any harm.

Harmed a fair few pairs of pants, like.
