This is the video that actually taught me the technique as a currently inexperienced arborist. Its short and to the point, well explained, and you can see the motions nice and clearly. Most other tutorials by tree companies would be 9 minutes long and involve the guy telling his life story as he dismantles a tree and you better not skip forward because the instruction would be at exactly 7:33 of the video. Its like trying to find a cooking recipe online and being forced to sit through a blog! Up until now I've been using a tape sling to choke off the branch and taglining it. Its always worked but a lot of outfits ive worked with are pretty old school and prefer everything done with knots.
When ringing and lowering multiple pieces I will tie a clove hitch on the upper branch leave enough leg rope to tie a running bowline on the branch below. I will cut the lower branch first then cut the upper branch. That’s how I rig two branches at once.
Finally after trying to remember how to tie a clove hitch knot , I am actually able to remember it. I have a really difficult time remembering how to tie knots. I can do it blindfolded now. Thank you for making this video.
You are correct and that is also why I have many other videos for knots and tree work. The clove hitch is a tool to use when needed. It never hurts to have more tools in the toolbox.
Each knot is a new tool for your toolbox. I have videos on the bowline and running bowline. I have videos for multiple useful knots. I do agree that the running bowline is useful for most rigging applications. I hope this helps and thanks for watching our videos.
@@mcallistertreetraining1383 I apologize for coming off a bit caustic. Every knot is a tool in the box.. appreciate u taking the time to make videos to teach others
@@dertyjerz3 no you are good. It’s a good argument. 90% of the time bowline will do the job. No need to apologize. We appreciate you watching our videos.

You don't want to use that hitch on really big limbs
Be safe out there

If you were gonna rig a nearly level limb off itself would you tie everything just like vertical spar rigging?
Also known by pipefitters as a pipe knot, use it to rope pipe up and down all the time.
Awesome stuff man!
Great video quality btw,if you don't mind me asking, but what are you recording with for this video?
How can i still do this on my branch if i cant get up to that branch to put my finger there
Running bowline and a throw ball
BINGO 😊
Thank you 🙏🏻
When heavily loaded, the clove hitch can become untiable. Use a running bowline or a cow hitch.

@@mcallistertreetraining1383 just don't use the wrong tool
@@bryanbabb5185 thank you for watching our videos.
@@bryanbabb5185 Like a rubber band
Never use a clove hitch for lowering! The ground guys will hate you!!! Cause it tightens up way way to tight
No one cares about the ground guy 😢
I understand your point, but arguing for a clove hitch against the running bowline for any kind of serious rigging is kind of crazy to me.
