Just a few pics from yesterdays removal, it was 90F in the shade. I didnt get any before pics.... The tree was way over the house but we had a good rigging point for the branches.

ask Chris Draper - Contactarb contract climber here. My Cousin, he is in Chester. -
Its all about communication with the guy running the ropes. Dont be scared to go bigger if you can get the feel for it. Its all about getting the feel for weight, swing etc, for both you and the ropeman. Careful not to cut thru your hinge too, like you did near the start, and got your bonce knocked by the branch Weve all done it lol Good job, get paid, go home.

Good job. Now rinse and repeat and imagine there are swimming pools, roofs, sheds, delicate stuff underneath Then you are getting there Rigging out a tree of that size in an open space would be GREAT practice. -
Azk m1ke H1ll.

Stevie you know every tree and situation is different. I try for no mistakes lol

Backed up with a wedge (Tree was right in a corner making hammering difficult...) and 3 guys on the pull rope, gutting the hinge makes for an easier pull. It wasn't massively back leaning.... but leaning back it was

Taking care of business!

Love the sound of a winch working. Power! Good work Tom.

Back leaning pine stick

Wasn't the big shot fault, but a ricochet off a limb. It's all good. Great product! Thanks Tony

What about the clip from Scotts camera when the top flew past him????

Hey cheers Tony, its not a big deal, just thought user feedback is helpful. I dropped you an email. Cheers

Good job Reg. I was up a 25 foot dead as f&&& black pine today, that had me twitching... Luckily had a Plane to tie into and rig from... 130ft? No thanks!

So on the second use with a big shot, the throwpod is starting to fall apart, there is a gap formed between the orange and black section. Its about a millimetre at the moment. Ive not used it since..... Would you like a picture?

M system... Anyone heard, seen or used it yet?
mistahbenn replied to David Goss's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
Why not just add a rope wrench in there eh? -
Primary support point?
-
Also, In SRT the rope does not move, you move up the rope, hence a 1:1 ratio, in DdRT the rope moves with you, hence 2:1 ratio. Do the math. SRT twice as fast

Buy a TV and watch porn then!

The question is will a tv help you climb trees in your spare time?

That would just annoy me! Haha grumpy git
