What a great teacher you are! Your strong point is intellectual, not physical. In fact, your weak physical constitution helps your demonstration, making it more convincing. Great job!
This was very interesting, and I learned from it. My main take-away is that the Rock Exotica system costs just under $400.00!!! you do realize that is out of reach to most of us non professionals! Can you show us an alternative, though surely not as convenient, method using only rope and/or affordable gear?
This is a lot of very basic rigging techniques and some fairly advanced equipment. Hopefully, anybody who needs this basic of instruction hasn’t bought that much equipment without knowing how to use it.
That is true. That rock cost about $600 to lift. I think the vid is more about mechanical advantage, clearly a 1 tonne chain hoist with 2.5m lift for $56 from eBay (I bought one today) would be easier. A simple wooden tripod over the rock acts as the “crane”.
I once threw a 50ft rope around ~20ft up on the top of a giant tree that got lodged on another tree at a 60° angle, it would’ve been an industrial sized mechanical advantage if I had something to use it for
It was explained in the video, this is a 'Cadillac $ system', and this all could be done much cheaper with some shopping for similar equipment. If life or critical materials are being maneuvered, I'd assume you acquired the best equipment available and had some formal training. If this is more for 'Handyman use', a cheaper (but definitely reasonably reliable) system you can make on your own would work just as well, might take more time to set up, but would do just fine, and the videos are pretty good showing how to use the system, BUT PRACTICE BEFORE! It is fun to learn & use the pulley systems, but to 'Compound the Advantage' also means 'Compounding any possible problems you weren't aware of' before Murphy's Law set up an unforeseeable dangerous mess. So study several different videos and practice. Good luck & be safe.
Or....you can simply put a pulley straight onto the main tree and using only the main rope you can lift up the rock as much as you want :) no more “pulling distance” bothering or forcing you to have 500$ equipment to lift something up 2 yards. Beside kidding it was a nice video, it was interesting to see your alternative solutions
Not easy for a newbie to see exactly what you're doing. You're whipping through this demo without closeups or pauses, no diagrams. All I learned was that you know what you're doing.
You know your rigging buy you are not a good instructor. You did not show attachment of progress stop on MA system well enough for teaching someone how.
I love using the rigging techniques I've learned as an arborist to recover stuck vehicles when we go off-roading.
Truth!
What a great teacher you are! Your strong point is intellectual, not physical. In fact, your weak physical constitution helps your demonstration, making it more convincing. Great job!
... like unleashing the girly man?
LMAO
Nice trap
But, how do you drop the rock on the deer when it passes?
Wow, that was great. That's the best explanation I've seen of how to use mechanical advantage. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent and clear explanation. But I wonder, how did you attach that rope to that heavy boulder? This deserves a tutorial on its own. ;)
That's what I was hoping to get when I clicked the video
Oye Quetzalcoatl, como estas? It's chicome mallinali 🌟 the power of knots is how the rock was tied! I know it
Most likely a bowling on a bite
You can also use a bowling on a bike for a tree, climbing harness
thank you for putting the equipment on screen as you demonstrate!

Adding some sort of hitch like a michoacan hitch or blake's hitch should help with holding the load in place. No idea for resetting it, though!!
THIS DEMO IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND THANK YOU FOR SHARING US THE IDEA SIR.
Thanks bro made it easy to teach my daughter this concept for school.
Very helpful vidoe on mechanical advantage #mechanicalAdvantage for backyard DIYers
THIS DEMO IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND THANK YOU SHARING US THE IDEA SIR.
Interesting, thanks for the video. I need to life a ~150lbs anvil so this will absolutely be useful
I learned a lot, lots to think about thank you
Nice explanation, Nick.
Glad it helped!
What knot is used to wrap/hold the rock up? 😊
Great tutorial. Easy to understand.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent demonstration !
Hope dont need it but love it. And wasent aware i could reset. Thanx great vid
I like that. Can you tell me this……..does the amount of mechanical advantage vary depending on the angle of the redirect.
Not really. Maybe in a theoretical sense, or with a very low efficiency pulley.

All the gear no idea?
Nice & would like to learn it but it's so far away I can't see anything that went on really for a job arborist. Looks like pretty cool results though
I once threw a 50ft rope around ~20ft up on the top of a giant tree that got lodged on another tree at a 60° angle, it would’ve been an industrial sized mechanical advantage if I had something to use it for
I would use a CLEAT HITCH to lock off the Porta-Wrap.....not 2 half hitches. Outside of that. Great presentation.
Great video and well explained... I needed this!
Excellent demonstration.... most appreciated! : )
Amen

Glad it was helpful!
Can we use a Dyneema 1/2inch rope with the rope jack
It should work!
Excellent information! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!

You can put progress capture on all these system. Even the one without mechanical advantage. What are you talking about?
Can you use this system with larger pulleys to assist in lifting branches in tip tying method, similar to GRCS or Stein RCW3001?
Bigger pulleys lend small increases in efficiency but generally if you want more output you use more pulleys, not bigger ones.
Looks like you could mangle your fingers badly on the reset process if you fail to set it correctly.
Thankyou vm vefy usefull and very didactic .Heakth for you and yours
Pricey mechanical advantage gear!
Im confused with the last part where hes talking about how something can be done with scrap rope
Awesome video, thanks for sharing, God bless
Thank you! You too!
Wait the first one is basically a truckers hitch. You could lock that one off.
And you can rig it to auto lock too
This was very cool.
Thank Jesus he wore his helmet for this.
Why the helmet ? Do you have big pigeons that poop heavy rocks from a great height
Its the hawks actually, they fly the acorns up and drop them.
Well done!
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!

Good info
Very useful.
Very cool
Very smart !!!
I love it excellent
muito bom!!!
3 to 1 used often yer prob is gets in ya pulley. Then doesent work. That was good cheers
Thanks!
You bet!
nice vid 👍
Now why would I go through all that trouble just to raise a rock?
Amazing
Extra ordinary tough procedure.it would be better if make one scenario and then give us solution
Pulleys are way more expensive than I thought they'd be
Wow!
I love my Rock Exotica kit.
$365 for 2 pulleys and some rope??? RRRIIIIIGGGHHHTTTT!!!!

Thanks for this feedback. I remember that we had a technical problem when we shot this, so it might be that we lost one of the cameras.
Yeah too quick. Couldn't follow this at all. Maybe this channel isn't for noobs though.
$500 dollars of gear? Go spend 40 at home depot for a come along.
That's what I'm gonna do
truckers hitch
Can i have video request content can you make lift 1 ton using pulley and how many pulley needed to do the jab
**** hehe I'm now good at english sory
🇵🇬🇵🇬,,,...
Thanks, now my brain hurts!
You know your rigging buy you are not a good instructor. You did not show attachment of progress stop on MA system well enough for teaching someone how.
Stop the irritating laughter, please
Now iknow how they built the pirámides
Well done!
Thanks!
