How to Balance a Tree Limb in Rigging w/ Mark Bridge

- Mark Bridge, one of the TreeMagineers and co-inventor of the TreeMotion harness, uses the TreeStuff Micro Rigging Lab to show how to balance a limb using spider legs for better, safer rigging.
TreeStuff's miniature trees make it easy to see all of the factors involved in complex rigging.
Recorded live at ArborFest Expo 2019.

wow!!!! this has taken my rigging to the next level!!! thank you MARK and treestuff for a great video.
I tend to walk out the same limb and take it out in 3 or 4 sections, a little less messing around. I will try your method. Good video.
You guys gave me a free pair of gloves with my last order and it bought y’all a lifetime customer. I also got the free Notch carabiner. TREE NERDS FOR LIFE!!!!
Waiting on better weather to rig down some limbs from over my own house. Your timing is perfect for me! Thank you both and safe climbing!
I love the engineering perspective given by Mark describing the force vectors. Coming from a physics background it makes alot of sense.
Very educational guys! Thanks!
Awesome! Want more of that stuff into my life.
I can't hit the "like" button enough on this one
Excellent technique! Great tutorial, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like this technique it basically looking at it as 8 would be taking a crane pick. I feel sometimes atleast myself can get stuck thinking in a traditional way of how I would go about something an not see that it really is no different than if I was doin the same job but with a crane or vis versa. There really is always multiple way to go about stuff an just seeing these demistations can help connect ideas that one may over look. It great to just get multiple guys together who all are well qualified just to see the difference in there approach.
Free Beer and Nick Bonner . Damn , I wish I was in NC . Thx Mark for your contribution with the TM , my testicles are grateful . I
great video!
This is very cool.
Im all about learning new stuff but I like the KISS way better!!
Very awesome 👊🏽👍🏽✌🏽
This profession deserves more re$pect
This model could be improved by adding weights that you can put where you want to simulate the weight of foliage or wood diameter. maybe with velcro? just an observation.
I gotta learn how to tie that Blake hitch
Nice.
I put that idea of mini rigging with large severed branches in a support on the ground (representing whole trees) and removable/replaceable on Treebuzz about 5 years ago when Nick Bonner was on there and just a beginner and a few others said they had tried it. Timber hitch European? Hardly. From the beginnings of American tree work.
Nice
Good video, but only 360p?
security cam footage..high end
How do you determine how many wraps to put on the porta-wrap?
How big the piece is, do you have to let it run, or is holding more important? Letting the load run and slowly bringing it to a stop is ideal on rigging points and gear. Perfect practice makes perfect.
You should soak your wood in water for a couple days before using them ,would be heavily more realistic
Love the idea from a lab prospective. From the tree though before the sun sets.... I'm wrapping a limb one time and a large limb maybe 2 times. Nothing I'm wrapping 3x. I'd use the extra gear to create a speed line to the chipper or something.
Just saying, can you simplify this down a bit so I can actually use it? Even in mountaineering tests you get points off for placing the most bomber, equalized, fool-proof anchor. Because you know what? On the top of a mountain weather can change fast and it's better to use your mental energy to make something equalized quickly than the perfect 3 tie-off point anchor every time.
when the limb is big enough and the target zone is expensive, what is the harm in three anchor points? i mean im going to keep this in my back pocket and i will gladly take an extra 5 minutes, to not go to the hospital or keep my insurance from paying out. if your getting paid hourly than there is no downside, if you bid the tree, add it into the bid. easy peasy! im not in a hurry, im at peace!
@@waynegriswold8953 I'm not in a hurry I am at piece. That saying has helped me so much in life. Even outside of tree work. But iv had times were im high up in a sketchy tree having all kinds of Second thoughts about what am I doin up here an so on but just stop for a min let that saying go threw my head maybe multiple times lol an next thing you know I'm bqck in control of my fears an can keep on keeping on wirh what needs to be done. I think that it really can be helpful for new climbers who are possibly young threw a situation for the first time.
🙌👌
Hehe ! European timber hitch !
Hell nah.
Way too much work. Way too much trust in the limb above it. Way too specific because the tree needs 2 opposite branches for sideways balance, and the top rigging limb can’t be dead. Verticals step cuts are very volatile and you’re not going to just put the final top cut in without a GRCS pulling up on it to ensure it doesn’t pull the saw out of your hands when it suddenly shears off with your chain in the curf. If the limb in question is dead and brittle you’re not going to just “walk out there and kick it off” every time. Finally, when the limb is cut off, notice it’s still hanging over the house and cannot be brought straight down (even if you rotate it). At that point, you need to get a tag line on it anyways to pull it to the side. Good luck trying that over power lines after the fact. Also the cleanup and prep work is way too much (eg: you still have to retrieve that block, and there’s hardly ever just 1 limb that is long enough to hit the house. Also, you will probably need to dead man the upper limb used for rigging to be safe).
As far as balancing theory goes, this video is great. However 99% of the time if you can climb all the way out there in the first place you can almost always just take it in smaller pieces. If that isn’t an option you can always set a tag line and preform the first demonstration. You’ll have way more holding wood on your hinge and be completely out of the danger zone because the ground guys are pulling it after you’ve made the cut instead of the climber triggering it with his saw. And if you have a GRCS, half the time all you have to do is tip tie that sucker and undercut it.
Exactly what I was thinking, awesome if it was the only option, and the physics and rigging are cool, but as far as energy consumption doing that and also the time lost compared to simple tactics
