it is quite a clever thought out cut, advantages i can see is it wont fall till you pull it, so you can do the cut move well away, when you pull it you can pull it in direction you want, only disadvantage i can see is getting the experience of how big you want your step to be to small it will fall to big you wont be able to pull it over. nice idea though i like it

little conifer from today was in the neighbours garden, and had to all come into this garden. zipline wasnt a option because wasnt tall enough, so i desided to have a redirect pulley up a bigger birch, to bring a line level with the top of the conifer. then stuck a pulley on the line and sling the stems at the top, cut them at the bottom and had a pull line to pull along the line then slacken off the line till there on the deck. worked wonders

a helicopter

it was simply a well planned out way for me to get ian to climb up half way to get my rope back since he was feeling lonely standing around in the cold

looks like the gob wasnt deep enough, still good learning curve for him, least he knows some of the dangers up close and personal now only way you learn

thanks, reductions are something i have really been working on hard recently used to be so unsure about them, slowly getting it now. without asking where to take every branch

cheers for that rupe makes me think bout it more anyways, since im flat out with work atm the best option is to get it done quick as possible. esspecially since the days are so short now. plus the fact i just wanna use a crane for first time
-
dont no how to change it
-
unless im going to lower all the stuff onto the roofs of the 3 buildings on the 3 sides of it, or the fence on the 4th side of it, there is no other options, apart from speedline which isnt ideal on popular. either way im going to be stuck when it comes to the main stem so i say crane it and get it with less hard work.

im lazy obviously
