D link with choked lifting strap as rigging point
mistahbenn replied to dicky mint's topic in Rigging and roping
Sometimes I use an elastic band as a sling. Oh, and sticky back plastic to pull trees over -
This is where SRT comes in handy lads.

<p>Alright Bob? I grew up in Upper Hill, then moved to Presteigne over the hill from Tref y. How old are you?</p>
-
Yeh I grwe up outside of Leominster in the sticks, then moved to Presteigne for 10 years, then London, Bath, Presteigne, France, Norwich, Hereford, Manchester, NYC. LOL

Eggs I wouldn't actually class myself as a Manc, I grew up in The Mid Wales borders/Herefordshire. Beautiful part of the planet.
-
Sticky back plastic.

Not bad for your first day on the job mate. When are you coming over here to climb some of our 300 foot oaks then?
-
Haha it does look like your penis. (Erm, how would I know what it looked like?)

Pfft X. ABR Rigging thimbles from Treestuff baby!

(Dont forget the bottom backup sling)

Well done lad.
-
Without seeing pictures, its hard to give advise. But if the stem is vertical, and you can remove a fence panel or two, the falling cut is alot easier to make than on a horizontal cut.

I haven't got my cs 41. I better stop climbing eh.
-
Plenty of other people with advice and tips on here. As an inexperienced climber, treat it as a challenge, get a nice high anchor point, get out to the end of it, imagine obstacles underneath to avoid, practice different cuts and techniques, and don't F up the final cut!

Well done Jon, still not hit here yet, only 15 today and cloudy. -
Completely pointless but you got paid so great!

Another large tree in a confined space. Wires, two houses, and a sprinkler system to watch, 2 loads of chip, 3 loads of wood, 2 days. Thanks to SRT!

NOWT wrong with a portawarap. Just finished a large white oak with one today, no worries what so ever. Bye
-
Cool. I want a drone and a drone driver to go with it
-
How can the rope pop off a POW?? Never happened to us. We have a portawrap for most stuff and a RC2000 for larger wood.
-
You dont wanna do it like that, you wanna do the bigger one from the smaller one. Make it easier on yourself.

Cool thanks mate I appreciate what you're saying about the methods in hand. It sure would be a handy asset for our truck. The amount of work I get close over houses/targets/wires is unreal. We always get by but would be nice to use MA. We have a MASDAAM but to set that up on a tree for a rigging situation and have the guys use it just isn't feasible. The RCW however, I think even they could grasp! lol.
