    If you alter your pairing ladder so that you can attach the log rope lower on the ladder you get more mechanical leverage when you pull from the top of the ladder. You don't want to attach the log too low on the ladder you'll have to try different locations to see what is the best for your situation. I would suggest to start with attached the log rope onto the paring ladder approximately 60 to 75% of the height of the paring ladder.

    A climbing harness attached to tip of your pairing ladder with a rope. Lean back and use your weight without using arms. I am about to make one of these though. Great method BTW. One of the best on youtube :-)

    Impressive vid. I will remember this for when I need it. I can help you do it much easier though, without the strain on your back and arms. Instead of using your arms and back to pull, tie a rope to the top of the ladder, on the side that you, yourself are now pulling from and make a loop in the bottom at about knee height or so (you are making a hang mans noose or something like it). Put your foot in the loop, step up and use your body weight to pull the pairing ladder. Putting an open ring or place for your foot (like on a horse saddle) will make the placing of your foot quicker rather than having to put your foot in a rope loop.

    Great example. The only thing that I'd fix would be to put a proper whipping on the frazzled ends of that three-ply rope you've got there! It's a pet peeve, I know, but it's one of those little details that really matters but few think about. If you don't already have a copy of the Ashley Book of Knots, I highly recommend it because it's chock full of all sorts of different ways our ancestors used rope and pulleys - from functional to decorative. There's no other book I can think of that's so valuable to the self-sufficient folks out there, and every man should have a copy in his library.

  • @frankligas2249
    @frankligas2249 3 года назад +4

    Thanks for the video. Right idea. Technique needs a little polishing. The choker strap on the log being moved needs to be just forward of the center of gravity so you lift, and then drag while the majority of the weight of the log is off the ground and has less friction with the ground. Second the choker strap to the top of the paring ladder is too long. When the legs of the ladder are vertical, the log should be mostly off the ground with only the back end of the log dragging. Third, the longer the legs of the ladder, the more leverage you have over the work being moved. Fourth, when you are pulling from the front, you don't want your energy going into pulling down, only pulling forward. Any effort that feels like pulling down is a waste of energy. The trick is to pull on the top of the ladder with a long rope tied to the top of the ladder from far afront. That will give you the most mechanical advantage. Fifth, if the log is very long, use two or three ladders stationed at increments down the length of the log. You should be pulling on the forward ladder with your rope, and the forward ladder should be tied to the top of the second ladder, and then the second ladder should be tied to the top of the third ladder, etc... Hope this helps.. Now if you will excuse me, Pharaoh wants me to finish his new pyramid.

    This is what I believe the Egyptians and others did to move large blocks of stone. Hence the nubs. I think they linked 30 of these at the top. A crew pulled on ropes attached to the apex of each pair. The bipods were pulled to height, and the stone was lifted and moved forward. Like a centipede, they moved an obelisk along. After each hump-along, they repositioned the base of the bipods. Thus you see a series of holes outside a line of stairs.

  • @mrMacGoover
    @mrMacGoover 4 года назад +1

    At 3:45 in the video it looked at that point you where trying to move the log across more level ground with the arch. The problem is that the arch is too far forward of the log and would be better positioned over top of the first 1/3rd of the leading end with the arch leaning slightly back, tighten the anchor rope and then tie another pull rope to the top of the arch. When you pull the rope the arch will lift the log at the same time advancing it towards you in the direction your pulling it.

If you don't, n try to pull from the top of the log, you'll find yourself PLOUGHING that hillside with any branch stubs not cut flush with the trunk!

    • @rcsnow22
      @rcsnow22 6 лет назад

      Yes , the added applied force using that A-Frame setup could increase your pull by 4 times or more . A serious advantage when the going is tough . And skidding a log with the bark on it is tough going for sure . That rough bark acts like hundreds of fingers digging in and anchoring its edges on anything and everything it slides over . Removing the bark in place before skidding would also help the log sections slide or skid a little easier . Heavy Duty work regardless of the way or method one uses . Just goes to show people now days how tough it was 150 years ago when people were settling the wilderness , building a cabin or barn and creating a homestead . My advice back then would have been ,,, get a early start at first signs of Spring if your wanting your cabin finished by Winter . Cause it's not a quick , simple process .

    Aw, man, I thought I'd come up with a new idea back in 2012 when I made one of these! But I'm glad I found out what it's called. Is it "paring" or "pairing"?
    We had a tornado in 2011 that took down a lot of trees -- big oaks, hickories, and pines. Some were in a hollow with steep sides. By placing my paring ladder almost horizontal with its feet dug into the slope and connecting the top by a long cable to a tractor further up on the hill, I was able to lift them over other trees and stumps to pull them out of the hollow working by myself.
    Dana, below, suggests connecting the log rope lower for more leverage, but in my case, lift was more important to get over the obstacles I was dealing with. Plus leverage wasn't that big a problem using the tractor.

      If you're referring to ax work, I highly recommend Dudley Cook's book, The Ax Book. The best resource in print I'm aware of for working axes. Thank you, sir.

    So the device is called a paring ladder and intended to hold wood for for working with a draw knife. I've seen one used by "The Outsider" on his channel, to pull logs and didn't know it had another use.

    • @SurvivalSherpa
      @SurvivalSherpa  5 лет назад

      That's what its original purpose was. I saw a Russian use a similar device to lift heavy logs and thought my paring ladder would work. Thanks, Harold!

    Excellent video. I’m planning to build one myself. I’ll be sure to post it up on the cordwood group. Do I spy cut resistant gloves? I feel like this is the first video I’ve seen you wear gloves. I haven’t had a chance to cut in mine yet although they feel sound and fairly comfortable. Even if yours aren’t cut resistant, they look to be of similar design. How do you like working in them?

      Appreciate you sharing the stuff, Seth! Naw, those are just some cheap rubberized gloves I wear to increase my purchase on the ax handle when I'm sweating like a whore in church in Georgia heat and humidity. My hands get calloused and I opt for not using leather gloves in colder weather so I can feel the tool.

    Methinks a pair of paring ladders, straddling the log,... and a third setting up ahead .... and that log could be moved with ease by 3-4 men.... up virtually any hill.... built in steel ....block and tackle would be effective ....
