Rigging down an Oak beside a bunkie - teamwork and patience
This is footage from September 2022, a little oak takedown right beside a bunkie. Big shoutout to my stellar ground crew - Tom and Kendal, handling this monster like true professionals, and Alex running the skid steer.

    We got our Bigshot marked out with rings of tape for different distances and use an 8oz bag, this great tool if you work urban commercial properties with tall trees close to buildings. 10-12oz will likely take a window out if this go south, 8oz usually bounces back. But at times it lacks momentum for really tall trees.

    how much do you think it would take to break one of these ratchet straps? i have a 2500kg one, and i have a tree thats at a 45 degree angle, i wanna strap near the top and crank/pivot it back as i cut the base, its hanging over a fence and i just wanna pull it back then cut it more safely on my side, but im worried it might break the strap

    • @TreeMuggs_PatrickM
      @TreeMuggs_PatrickM Před 4 dny

      I wouldn't use a strap for that. I would rope it and then tension with a Maasdam. Straps are great for securing and making sure something doesn't come out, not great for actually pulling something together more than a few inches. Does that make sense?

      @@TreeMuggs_PatrickM hmmm fair enough yeah makes sense, thanks for the advice, the tree in question is kinda like a big slingshot V shape, so i was planning to use one side to ratchet (several ratchets to be safer) the other side away from the fence as i slowly cut the base half way through

    I finally got one of these, went with the self adjusting bolard version. It Wont run atall on tachyon ash or cherry bomb and tending was too stiff on hyperclimb - an 11.2mm rope. What ropes work best with this version? I can see you're using km3 max in some of the bone vids.

    Nice job! I know you have to edit these videos for brevity but I for one would love to see it in its entirety, the "uncut" version so to speak.

      I don't think that's necessarily true. The fishing pole is used when you need to drop weight straight through the stem but the stem is weak and there's no other anchor points for rigging.

      I find it resists deformation under heavy pulls much better than the standard "better half hitch" or two on the throat. It also resists rotation better when pulled in the "wrong" direction. In the video here I show back-tying it to really get all the slack out and make it super tight. Precision placement of hardware is essential for real riggers, and the "pedigree" is as precise as it gets. Give it a try. - Patrick

    One thing i see most knot tying videos fail to show…is a backup prussik on the rope below the main knot in the event the rope gets wet or the knot decides to not grip as desired…

  • @ethanfink7962
    @ethanfink7962 Před 16 dny

    Question: What would happen if your cut fell in the opposite direction of how you wanted it (180°)? Would that disrupt your friction ring at all, or would it still work at usual? 3:36 is my reference point for this.

    This is the best training on how to tie this super-useful knot that I have found. Your method is the easiest to follow and the explanation also is clear and easy to follow. A bonus - I love the trick with the stick to make it easy to untie even after the knot has been under a lot of tension. I keep a few of these sticks in my rope bag now. Thank you!
