Always amazed at what you can run through those rings. I guess the days of blocks are all but gone soon. Tnx Reg and really enjoyed the music selection as I had my morning coffee.
If X man was gonna make a commercial, it'd look something like this... He'd prob score it differently though, something a little more,uhh...aggresive haha. Well done,Reg... again.
Great video Reg and thanks to your previous recommendation video to get the x rings I did. Use them all the time and get creative with redirects etc. Cheers
That was a really nice video and the ONE ring at terminal rigging point is an interesting subject. "Rules" are created for the masses of people that do not know when to apply the "rule". If a person does not know when to apply the rule..... they are likely stupid and should just apply the rule always..... or maybe stop doing the activity. The two or three ring "rule" for terminal rigging point was a CYA rule. IF a person was going to take such a massive weight where the rope WAS going to break somewhere, no matter what hardware was used.... Read again, IF the rope was going to break somewhere NO MATTER WHAT...… I wanted a rule in place so that the rope did NOT break at the rings. Therefore I set a double ring rule for the beast rings and a triple ring rule for the large sized rings. A heck of a lot of weight can be done on single rings, as shown here and I know from my testing. If you are going to break a rope on a single ring, the shock load violence has to be really big, like scary big, make you want to not watch it big. But, a smart person covers their ass on a product and states rules for the dumb masses of people out there. Reg is not dumb, so he can do what he sees fit to do.
Hi Reg, Nice vid! I noticed you're neg blocking with only one ring. I was under the impression that a single ring didn't offer enough bend radius. That's fairly big wood you're sending down on a single ring. Can you please comment on rope diameter/ring size and what's acceptable? I have the largest x rigging ring and it would really simplify things to be able to use it single for bigger wood. Up to now I've used it only for lighter stuff and for a redirect with a block. Thx Reg. Always Love your videos!
When I started rigging all we used was thimbles, not blocks. Inferior to X rings, but they worked just fine. The bend ratio that is generally acceptable I believe is 4.5 - 1, or something similar. So the higher part of the line isnt doing all the work as it travels around the bend. Having said that, a line often rotates as it goes through an x ring, bollard or other static surface, and where it is flattened out on a wide curve can even gain strength. I can't tell you or anyone else what to do, but I generally follow my own line of experience and logic when it comes to tools and techniques. Ive worn out too many bushes on branded heavy duty blocks within an unacceptable time frame and cycles to failure....so I dont have a lot of confidence in such purchases or applications of such these days. I do what makes the most sense to me as a result.
Great experience testimony. One typo maybe, or maybe not if it's the UK way. Bushes = Bushings, maybe? We call them bushings in the pulley blocks; of which, mine got very sloppy over the years too.
Hi Reg, How often do you change the ropes? How long do they last? Is there a law in place telling you to change it after so and so time? I am new to your channel and I am going backwards in time but so far I didnt see any negative rigging videos that include the roping and rigging, is there any, or if not, could you upload one for us. As much as I enjoy seeing the logs just falling like dominoes one after another, Id like to see how you rig, and the time and preparation it takes you to do it. Thanks mate, keep up the good work.
It's wonderful to watch your videos Reg! I love tree work!! And I just was thinking that I wonder what is going on under ground to the roots everytime a piece is cut and slams the side of the tree? I am just curious.

Thanks for posting another interesting and educational video showcasing your expertise, Reg.

sweet perspective up stem seeing the flex happening Reg.
Great video Reg and thanks to your previous recommendation video to get the x rings I did. Use them all the time and get creative with redirects etc. Cheers
Bringing down some decent stuff on just 1 ring, goes to show just how impressive they are!

Right on Reg. I like the video.
thexmanjdd Those last two sentences pretty much cover my approach to tree work and life in general.
thexmanjdd "...and I know from my testing." let's see this testing of urs already 😏
Yeah, good idea, it's such violence to break a 3/4" rope on a single ring. I will dig into the video vault.
Those shots of the x-ring sling coming tight around the trunk turned out good. That initial loading is always a bit exciting.
Great work and camera angles.
Also dig your music choices. Bjork, Radiohead, and Blur I’ve heard tonight..Nice.
Always look forward to your next upload...well done!
Great video as always, Reg. Tree work sounds nice to Blur!
Good video with some great "point of view" angles.
Thanks for sharing Reg.
Be safe!
Randy
Great vid Reg! I personally like using the Whoopie sling with the 2 sewn in beast rings when I’m negative rigging. Anyhow very well done
Rope man needs to let that shit run
Nice job , I see the Husky is still going , mine is the go to saw
Damn , that is violent when those logs smack the tree. Hold on brotha , lol
Shake, rattle and roll~~ No charge for the chiropractice adjustment, eh! My compliments to the rope man!!
Great combo when twinned with the RCW3002
cool and impressive demonstration.
Great music with the video 👍
Well done AH
Thanks for the video.
Nice one Reg, Be well
nice work Reg
Great video. Ego free. ☺

@@thexmanjdd predictive text, I should switch it off. Thanks for the correction
Nice work! Did you limb the whole tree with that husky electric saw?
Correct, then a 550, and 372.

Like riding the storm out 👊
Hey Reg, what knot are you using on your x-rings? Looks a little different than what I'm familiar with
Nice work on the ropes! I've been using the rings for a while and they are awesome,I just wondered if you have used the safebloc yet?
No I haven't yet Louis
@@Recoates You've got to get one,they are awesome.
How did you get around CZcams banning the sound track? User rights and all.
Luck of the draw. Sometimes you get blocked outright. Others copyright owner lets it go but they put ads on your vid and keep the revenue from
what rigging line do you like to use reg? thanks
Yale and samsom are first choice
It's wonderful to watch your videos Reg! I love tree work!! And I just was thinking that I wonder what is going on under ground to the roots everytime a piece is cut and slams the side of the tree? I am just curious.
Shawn. I think the roots are just sitting there in the earth 😂
@@noglobe4105 well you know I was wondering if they vibrated or what not lol
@@chamness964 . yeah I know what you mean. Does make you curious
Who put the thumbs down on this video😂😂😂, theres always one😩
