Hitch Hiker thread.
colemanjessenz replied to Old Mill Tree Care's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
you're using it wrong then mate , try grabbing your rope with your hand and releasing at the same time. you will find that even on a single leg with full weight you can get a smooth action. -
the tree motion works nice when the waist isn't to tight , i have mine just on the hips. spend a while playing around with adjustments and then keep when its good you don't have to play around anymore. look on youtube for help.

Back in europe mate , those three weeks shot by so fast. hope you had a good new years bro , I'm looking forward to the next instalment of smash down productions . Ps I'm finally getting into this video stuff bro, I should be getting a new vid up in the next couple of weeks.
-
He's arrived on arbtalk , nice to see you here bro .
-
I saw a neat way of backing them up with just a webbing sling , i'll see if i can find it.

exactly rich , except now i have a würf haken (throwing hook) i can transfer from tree to tree without touching the ground:001_tt2:. I used to foot lock for access or just climb ....... srt makes life more productive and efficient and the little money you invest in a access line and ascenders will speed up your work day by a lot in the matter of a year or so. @joe , keep your bigshot at the depot mate , throw by hand every single time and soon enough you'll forget you even own one . @rich the reason i made this vid was exactly that bro , i wanted to just show a process of installing a line , ascending and a little bit of chilled working . have fun with your beech trees btw and your defiantly have to make a vid:thumbup1: .
-
yeah thanks a lot mate , i quite enjoy a nice climb with just the handsaw. i was flicking through some photos yesterday and old toby popped up on that oak job , make sure you say hello from me and the baum braun boys are you heading to the next baumkletter meisterschaft?
-
can't please everyone eh adam its some dynamic climbing rope that i got from free worker and I'm really digging it a i think its 10.5 mm and it runs really nice. @ mark thanks mate and yep they are scarpa pro ascents , really nice boots for climbing in.
-
haha 35 meter throw would be pushing it bro but around 20- 26.3567 meters i can accurately throw so its not to far to climb if over that
-
haha cheers joe that was my third throw mate:biggrin:. I always hand throw ,i like it and nothing gets much bigger then 35 meters here. yeah I've played with srwp but my hitchhiker disappeared. I like ddrt and I'm pretty happy using srt for access and ddrt for climbing. The red thing is a pinto rig spacer , I'm using it at the moment and its good if you want to do some fast descents. you should get one and give it a whirl , it won't change your life but its quite good .https://honeybros.com/Item/DMM_Pinto_Pulley_Spacer its the rig spacer
-
damn , ill sort it out after work . haha cherry reductions are next on the video list jake.
-
must be something to do with the music , does it work now?
-
Heres a clip i put together last night of me deadwooding an oak , to be honest its not very action packed. It shows a typical day in Germany and different side of arboriculture that some of you guys might like. Hope you enjoy.
-
Nice work rich , some really nice picks in there mate.
-
yeah bro say hello to tobi for me , he was with me on a couple of interesting baustelle. we rigged out some massive pieces of oak from the steiger (mewp) haha a couple of hairy moments thats for sure.
-
cheers mate , yeah the man of the day was defiantly the pilot , he made our job easy. Mark im a little disappointed about your video bro you sort of built it up and then have let a lot of people down , maybe switch the song to Joe Esposito - You're The Best Around ?
-
haha it wasn't to bad mate i was only up there for 45 min or so, i just don't like walking around in ivy with them on and had to start cutting. who's your workmate bro?
-
Cheers guys , yeah Darrin it was intense , you can see in the second pick the bar gets pushed around a little bit when I was lining up my cut. I had the wrong cover on the go pro so it didn't pick up the sound of wind. Sent using Arbtalk Mobile App
-
here it is guys , to be fair my editing skills are far from desirable but i thought id chuck together what i could from a great day.
-
Any signs of kretzschmaria?
-
same for us mate , its october. cheers, It might be a while but ill keep it in mind bro
-
the pilot would be putting around 1000 to 1200 kgs tension on the line I'm thinking as you can see the cuts rip a little with the weight of the lean and with the helicopter tension it will be more clear with vids from lifts further down the tree. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10204146902225428&set=o.908481889178571&type=2&theater heres a clip you can see it a little clearer Its safe, just as safe as using a crane , if not more so depending totally on the pilot
-
you could probably use it for bungee jumping i had it and hated it , its way to stretchy
-
yeah the go pro didn't pick it up really. I think the strong wind messes with the mic in the waterproof case a little but its intense and a cool feeling . towards the end of the tree when it was just down to the barrel i could feel it pushing my bar down a little when lining up cuts but it wasn't to bad.

the new 661 is an absolute beast bro.
