I was a rookie climber over 50 years ago, and have enjoyed watching your videos a lot. You have a great personality and treat the people who work on the ground with respect. Keep on keeping on.
Thanks for explaining what you are doing with the rigging and showing your cuts. You are a great teacher and it is nice to hear you give compliments to Dave. Blessings to you folks.
This is the first time I’ve seen your videos, and I have to say, I am impressed! I’ve been learning to climb and starting to do tree work and it is extremely helpful to see the job start to finish. Thanks for putting in the effort, I can’t wait to see more!
Hey man, welcome to the channel! Thanks for watching. I do my best to show stuff in a way that promotes safe tree work, but I'm far from perfect. If you ever see something that could be done better, don't hesitate to throw it in the comment section. I'm hear to learned new stuff too 😁
A true example of a teacher and a calm demeanor, keep up the work environment, no one wants to work with someone who’s bossy and demeaning. Great example !
Thanks man! I must admit I've been the bossy demeaning guy before. It took me a long time and a lot of patience from my helpers for me to learn that there are much, much better ways to learn.
Would love to see a detailed explanation of your remote rigging setup and how it was setup from the ground. I always thought you climbed to set those up. Great vid as always!
Thanks Colton! I really wish I would have filmed this one better. It was cold that day and my filming all together was subpar. I'll see if I can put together a quick little video about it.
I came to say the same thing, always nice to see different points of view and offer more teachable moments. Love the way you explain what you're doing and I appreciate the videos keep em coming!
Im looking to get into tree climbing and i really like your videos so far their super helpful and informative. You seem really professional and knowledgable and a cool person to work with.
Keep it up lad, thanks for making these vids. I personally like the explanations and the way you treat the ground guys. I started on the ground and had some rough times w/ certain lift operators/climbers burying us. I don't yell like yourself and explain what I hope to happen when the piece releases so the guy on the rope is on the same page as me. You have no ego and seem like a pleasure to work w/. I'm still a jersey guy so I deal w/ the same oaks/maples/locust/ash/pines like you.
Thanks Jerry! That's encouraging to hear from you. I think there is a benefit to treating folks the way I want to be treated. It seems to make work better for everyone on the job. Stay safe out there!
Great force explanation, thank you. Hypothetically, had some limbs been lower and closer to roof, would lifting with grcs be tuff due to the rope stretch in the anchor setup?
I don't know 🤔 I would have been much more interested I. Trying it atleast.the trouble with setting up the GRCS in the situation was that I didn't heave a rigging point that was directly over head enough and would have made an ugly rope angle. But if we had limbs that were lower to rope angle would have been more gentle and that probably would have made lifting with the GRCS a little more friendly 🤷♂️ great thought for sure!
Interesting to watch someone who is always learning and is happy to share his experience. Thanks for the videos. It the only way I would see what it's like from the top of the tree. 😀
I used to be a math teacher before I ever climbed a tree. If I could do it all over again I'd put a lot of tree rigging problems Into my trigonometry lesson plans. It's a perfect real life example to answer the student who invariably says "when am I ever going to use this?"
Lol absolutely! It's a perfection application or force vectoring principles and even calculations. I don't sit in the tree and do math, but it's really important to know the force ratios related to certain angle bends in the rope and such
Good job.. would you happen to have a video on you throw ball cannon i found your video but it looks as though you changed the valve is it a butterfly valve or?
It's just a brass ball valve. I used a plastic one for a long time because it was cheaper and lighter. It turned out to be a main failure point as the handle on it would easily break off. The brass one has served me well so far. I think it costs around 3x the price if the plastic.
Nice work my friend.. So you SRT up the white Oak..then your groundie swung you over to the Red oak? Or did you spike up the red oak as well??? That was fairly high up on that noodle of tree limb 😁😁..
I ascended on the rope and had the groundie pull me over. My rope was ptryy high on a white oak limb. The wide angle lens on the gopro definitely makes it look higher and smaller than it was 😅
Thanks! It's basically the same thing I do with my base anchor for climbing. I would definitely avoid using an alpine butterfly knot though. Those are really hard to untie after being loaded with rigging forces.
Hi Zach, a quick tip for next time.... If you tied off the first rigging rope, on the porta wrap, giving yourself plenty of rope to play with, you could have tied that rope next to your lowering ring. You would have then had tension applied from both directions, which would have reduced the sideways movement of the tree each time you chopped a chunk off. It would have probably meant that you wouldn't have had the fun moment of falling off the tree 😂
I feel like I'm not quite understanding. Are you saying that I could have out a rope in my life support tree and pulled the tree in the opposite direction that the ring redirect was pulling it in?
Just a question because your the man when it comes to climbing your a amazing climber but why not let the bigger logs swing over to the tie in on the oak i get rigging the littler tops the way you did but wouldn't it be a little bit smoother on you in the tree to pull the slack out of the rope let it swing over and then let it run to the bottom. But i do this everyday im on the line clearance side of tree trimming and trying to get into doing side work in my free time but just gotta say man your the shit i wish i could break it down and teach the way you do but the thing with my question is ive never used a grcs i want to but haven't had the chance to use one yet
Thanks man! That's a valid question. This customer was very about his trees and he absolutely did not want any of the trees he was keeping to be damaged. If I would have let the wood swing back to the rigging tree, there would have been a fair chance of knock some bark of and I couldn't accept that risk in this scenario. Mayne a really good ground man could have gotten a piece to the bottom before it hit the rigging tree, but my ground man thay day didn't have more than a few days of rigging experience and I didn't want to put that pressure on him. Thank you for your question and for being gentle in the way that you asked. Line clearance is tough stuff and I respect you guys who go out and do it everyday.
Nice work man! Why did you redirect the rigging to the sketchy tree you were in? I like to rig to another strong tree(the one you had your block in or white oak looked even better/stronger) and put the Portawrap at the base, and avoid all the movement and risks. I enjoy your videos. I’ve been in line clearance for 15 years for big orange(Asplundh) 🤙🏻
Nice man! I m glad to hear you're sticking to it. Turnover rates are so high these days that I don't hear about people staying at one company that long. Great question! Because the rigging tree was staying, I didn't want to swing anything into it that would tear up the bark/cambium. Also, the rigging tree was down over the edge of the slope there, and I didn't want all of the pieces ending up down there if it was easily avoidable. If I would have had more help on the ground, I might have used a load transfer system between the rigging tree and the white oak. It's hard for one guy to run two rope well, though.
It can come in really handy and save some climbing. It's just important to remember that a system like that will put between 3 and 4 times the weight of the load on whatever crotch you're using in the tree. It's kind of a double mechanical advantage system.
@b r Its two mechanical advantage systems on top of each other. The block sees twice the weight of the load and then the crotch sees twice the load of the block. There is some friction in where the rope that holds the block runs through the crotch, so it's not going to be a perfect 4 times the load. I imagine it's somewhere between 3 and 4 times the weight of the load.
Good job, thanks for sharing. I was just wondering if you ever considered just tip tying the whole tree and hanging it from the rigging block and cutting it from the ground?
That's an excellent question. I did not consider that as an option when choosing a method for taking this tree down. I won't say that it wouldn't have been possible, but I don't think it would have been a super safe option in this scenario. This tree was probably pretty heavy and though there were trees around it that were taller, none of the really stood directly over this tree. It would have been a greater risk than I would have preferred to take.
Great work! We like to use our GRCS to lift learners like that where size and rigging points permit. Those weird sideways trees seem to be the trickiest.
Hey man awesome vid, where did you get that ultra sling from? Been looking to get a small one like that for a while. I’m from Australia and they are hard to come by
😬 I'm not sure I remember. I think I just searched around online u til I found one. I know a fella here in Ohio that could make you one and ship it, but I'm not sure how cost effective that would be. Can you get Honey Brothers products shipped down there? I think they're in the UK and ship internationally. honeybros.com/
Nice work. U should look into a sprinkler valve for your air cannon. I went from 4 shots or more to almost always 1 now. U can aim way better and don't have to yank the handle. Got a couple vids of it on my channel. Nice work and great job on safety. U fell off a bit but was set up for safety so no problems.
@Zaccheus it was. But was slow to release. So I removed the solenoid. Jb welded it closed. Drilled a new hole with an air nozzle to release it. I was making a video today of it but I modified the trigger and had to jb weld a hole I mad on accident haha. I will make a vid of it. Just uses a sprinkler valve 1 inch from the home depot
Haha thanks! I did consider free falling stuff. I'm not great at it becaist I don't practice regularly because I'm always rigging. I think it would have been possible to swing those branch tips down under the tree without a rope, I just didn't have enough confidence in it.
I have to look into that. I also have a retrievable ring sling that we could have used, but I knew we wouldn't be seinging huge pieces and so I didn't want to spend the time setting it up.
Make a vid on that homemade throwball bazooka. 3:29 Hahahaha, I love wasting an half hour having the throwbag blues. I'm guessing for some reason you couldn't set your rigging in a tree behind the one you cut to put that limb under 45 degree compression.
Yeah, there was a tree directly opposite the lean of the tree we took down. I did consider putting the rigging over there because it would load the tree we were removing in a better way. It just wasn't as tall and didn't have great structure and was hard to get to becaise it was farther down the hill and a bunch of other little things. It ended being easier to just take smaller pieces. It's your lucky day becaise I have a video about that air cannon and you can view it right here: ua-cam.com/video/uSIoHMxP4yk/v-deo.html
My lucky day. Ha! I thought you made one but 12 hour day yesterday I was too tired to rummage through your vids. You present excellent material & knowledge and I love how you show warts and all. We all should be eating more humble pie.
Irs important to keep the cut as clost to the blue sling as possible. The farther the cut and the sling are a part. The farther the limb will freefall before the rope catches it.
Is it true, every time the tenant see's me or their is a worker in the Vinyard they will torture me with heart palpitations blood thinners and not let me sleep the entire night or morning?
Thats a fair thought! A big part of the reason I didn't do that was because we already had the rigging system all set up on those other trees and I didn't want to spend the time setting up a fishing pole. I clearly paid the price though when I got knocked off because of that lateral movement 😅
I enjoy your videos but the elephant in the room is the driveway and parking area...right under the tree...for a lift. When you get the years in you will easily earn a lift and then do the climbing jobs when no access.
That a fair thought. I only do tree work so I can climb. I probably wouldn't have felt comfortable putting a lift on that icey driveway. It might not have been evident in the video, but it had a slight slope to it. Would you have put a lift on snow covered ice?
Might help you if you stood up. Idk tho. Can’t see all what your doing or going thru but that was a hard lesson I had to learn was staying on my feet. But everybody is different to. Stay safe and good job.
I prefer to say on my feet as much as I can. A large part of this tree was so horizontal that I could not establish a safe and stable working position while standing 😒 so I sat and worked from a sitting position.
Tree should have taken 1 hour by yourself with nobody running ropes. Especially take down leave all. Hook your flip line to the brush and chunk out the rest
@@TheKrisers OH nice! I've never had to depend on one, but I've definitely used it once or twice. I try to set up a second climbing system if I have to go that route.

Haha no worries, it all worked out just fine 😅
How close to u to Palestine I how everything is ok were u are. Stay safe climb safe.
I'm about 45 miles to the west of East Palestine. We haven't had any change in anything here 🤞
Tree should have taken 1 hour by yourself with nobody running ropes. Especially take down leave all. Hook your flip line to the brush and chunk out the rest
Holy cow, you're gonna die in a tree.
I took a ride yesterday.
Ooo I hope it wasn't too bad for you. It's one of those things that can really mess you up sometimes.
@@zaccheus it wasn’t to bad I used a break away carabiner on my flip line.
@@TheKrisers OH nice! I've never had to depend on one, but I've definitely used it once or twice. I try to set up a second climbing system if I have to go that route.
I said Nice 😊…..🤭🤭🤭🤭🤙👀
Thanks Leonard!
@@zaccheus 🤭🤭🤠👍👌
Only as dangerous as you make it
Care to elaborate? I'd like to hear your thoughts.
@@zaccheus I assume he means that you having multiple safeguards in place diminishes threats involved.
@@mitchalwaggoner1648 I was thinking the same, I just thought maybe there was something new to learn about 😅
Learned something new.
Glad to hear it!
