Glad you didn't edit missing the ring. I used to cut my face cuts at neck level till someone called me out. You only did it on the top. Thanks for sharing.
Thumbs down guy...why? Excellent vid on how to rig a top for folks that don't know what's up.
It’s because the disliker topped his tree before watching this video and only watched it after the fact. The dislike was for himself….he was disliking himself and how foolish….how very foolish he was for not using this technique
Great demonstration! Very much appreciated man!
5:45 I was thinking “wait, you didn’t thread the ring!” Then you said it!😆. Actually one reason I like a a ring on a dead eye, you can leave the rigging line in the ring. Untie partially and re-tie. You can kinda do same thing with pocke sling pulling a bight through pocket still on the ring and slide it down if trunk is still similar dia on next cut.
great vid brother! Remember safety knot on the running bowline and cinch down on all your knots ALWAYS.....
It was really helpfull, especially the lanyard/climbing system orientation
Thanks, this help me a lot.
Great video
BRAVO OTTIMO lavoro
👍👍👍
Love the channel big fan. However there is a lot of young guys watching and learning. Make sure to do the research. 3 rings for termination rigging point large or medium. 2 rings if you use extra large rings. Never one ring unless it is a redirect. It gives an improper bend radius on the rope. Please don't take this as a bad comment, just a concern for young climbers. Benn in this game since 1993. Climb safe Bro!!
I appreciate the input! I had read some research done by the X-man himself which indicated that despite the decreased bend radius of a single ring, he found that any load sufficient to break the rope would result in a break at the knot before a break at the ring, although I imagine it would be possible to use a smaller ring than recommended as well as a bigger rigging line and have the bend radius issue, but at that point, the sling on the ring generally becomes the weakest link instead of the rope. I could be wrong, and I’d love to see some testing that shows otherwise!
@@Stridertrees Okay awesome. i do appreciate all the videos and the work put into filming and editing as well as all the educational value you bring to the industry. I always look into new and better ways to do things. Please send me any links to that research i would really like to rad up. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Thanks
That was fantastic. Thank you so much. I have some rigging gear sitting in the basket… Can’t decide between tREX vs Tenex rope with the X-rings in an Ultra sling. Any thoughts? 💭
I don't understand why you let the blocks fall and touch the ground. Isn't it the purpose of using this method and a port-a-wrap so that it can hold the block in the air then bring it down slowly? like for example you have a house underneath the tree. If you don't have anything underneath the tree, then just cut the pieces like you would felling a tree, with the two cuts.
This was a great video. I would love to actually work with you. There is a way to tie a running bowline that I’d love to show you. A much faster way and it’s super ez and I don’t see enough people doing it!
Is it the same way I do? With a slip knot involved? Best way I’ve ever done or seen
What is your favorite Port-a-Wrap? Sherrill large? Buckingham large? Notch large? The Sherrill seems to be the most affordable.
Have you done a review on the Marita? If not how long do the batteries last?
Thanks for the great demos as usual. Noticed you were rocking the makita. Would you recommend compared to stihl or husqvarna?
They are less than half the price
Thanks
I’m wondering the exact same thing.
Very late reply but just in case someone else sees this... The makita has great power but it is annoying in the cold temperatures. It has a tendency to refuse to run when cold especially if you have any amount of debris packed around the chain break. I think it might be a software issue for safety reasons, regardless it is frustrating. The stihl battery saw is a champ. Smaller bar but tons of power and zero issues. I wish I could try the Husqvarna electric saw but havent had the chance yet.
Wow, I was hoping that u caught that u forgot to put your rigging rope through the X-ring b4 u made your final cut. What sized ring do u have on that Ultra-Sling?
Is that a protos helmet? Did you get a custom made one or is that a sticker/decal
Helpful video how do you like that makita is it better than the husqvarna?
Pretty sure is not better, but it is much cheaper, especially if you already have makita tools/batteries
What makita saw is that?
What kind of chest harness do you wear? Thanks for the excellent videos.
Oh, those young guys...
How do you like the Makita cordless top handle saw?
I'm a makita fan, I'm curious how the saw handles professional use.
And is that the single or double battery model
I wont go into detail because I replied above, but the stihl electric is way better than the makita electric saw.
Any problems you can think of using a rigging ring and natural crotch if you'e a one-man show?
The technique is perhaps over a hundred years old ...your lesson. As for the X Rings..I was on Tree Buzz when David Dryer who called himself the "X Man" invented them. A bloviating blathering self important blow hard but is likely lying on a beach with a mai tai in his had laughing at the world. Me, I'd rather do tree work til I die and would get bored lying on a beach.
what chest harness is this ? p_p
What’s saw is that???
How come you don't wear chainsaw protective trousers?
Cause their expensive
As a non tree worker: Why not redirecting on a steal carabiner instead of an X-ring? Too much wear on the rope? Nice video!
If I’m understanding your question correctly, it’s because carabiners aren’t rated for shock loading. If you are doing negative rigging, then there is inherently a bit of shock loading that occurs no matter what.
There is both an MBS limit issue and a bend radius issue. bending a rigging rope over a carabiner puts far more stress on it than running the rope over the comparatively much larger diameter rigging ring, and a steel carabiner could break under the stress of this type of rigging
non locking carabiner on your right side lower d for lanyard?
edelrid carabiner, forgot the name, has a small, basically trigger in the gate, so its locking
Good eye ;) yes it’s a very lightweight locking carabiners by Edelrid
I'm sure that you didn't put the rope through the rigging ring on purpose, for training purposes. Thanks for the video.
I'd probably forget now & then. Like when I twist two wires together for soldering & then see I forgot the heat-shrink tubing!
cutting at face height?
That way you can see the cut.
I like that someone noted this. I don't have the full context here, so I'm not sure why he chose to do that. If you're thinking the same as I am, I generally keep the notch nearer to my waist so that 1) the saw isn't unnecessarily near my face and I'm not staring into the wood chips, and (much more importantly) 2) if/when I need a little control over that top section being cut I've got leverage on it by placing my hand up high on the stem (Whether one-handed saw use, or two, after the saw is stowed). Of course, one can always have a tag line in that top, but...
I'm hoping someone else will see this and weigh in.
Only a mistake if the rigging line scrape on your life line its not so great ...life line up the rigging block or ring ....
