    For letting it run It would be great to see some perspective from the groundie and learn how to determine the number of wraps to take based on the size of the piece and how that relates to the diameter of rope and port-a-wrap etc. Or other systems that allow for soft catches of large sections. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

  • @jacobhernandez8786
    @jacobhernandez8786 Год назад

    How do you aim for the wood, placement of the face cut right. I know keeping your wrap at the base to the side of where you drop is good so you don’t smack your rigging rope, but do you just try to aim a face cut to the spar (depending on lean)

  • @jonlipi9669
    @jonlipi9669 Год назад

    I would urge extra caution on a job like this if the diameter of the tree is larger. When you 'butt rig' a hollow tree, the rigged piece can bang on the trunk and break it, sending you on your last ride on this earth, unless you count the hearse ride.

    you climbers today just have no idea of rigging and shock loads , sure run heads , but if you rigging a 30-40 ft limb and turning it 90 or more degrees you need to hold up the load until all the forces are over , rigging down logs like you just did here is totally wrong , you should be using Spectra rope at 14 -16 mil that has no stretch , the log should fall just off the cut , ( it fall one ft ) and only doubles in weight at one ft , but you have your log rigs dropping over 4 ft increasing a massive load on the rope which in time will break , the climber should never ever rely on the rope man to get the load away from him , he should have already created his own exit if things go badly , this endless videos today showing rigs being dropped at the fastest rate to the ground is just Stupid to watch .

    A hydraulic lift bucket is the safest way to go and if you can't reach the tall places customize a electric pole saw to reach them.you can always get a 150 foot extension cord for power. After that then you move up to what the big guys have...a crane that parks in the street and can reach anything
