    That’s how I use it too. If you float a hub on the rigging line you can turn that first cut, the Han, into a Span rig. Variations on a Han. That title wouldn’t look too amiss on a John Cage album!

    Thank you, Oceans. I look forward to time rigging together again. Maybe you can explain to everyone here what/who/why(!) is Seiji Han !

    Thanks so much. The winch is a Portable Winch, model 5000. I am so lucky not to suffer from hayfever, some of the guys ran temperatures it was so strong...time to take an office job perhaps....?

    It is a Zelkova and you are right, less shock loading and much less cutting time. It turned into bit of a teaching session as my team are not used to cutting like that in such sized timber. Thanks.

    Center of Gravity pivotal concept

    We are tricksters, illusionists, showing weightlessness through effortlessness but the work site is ram packed full of wicked forces moving silently around. If only our anchor points could speak, if only the rope could tell its tale..

    Best Ring&Ring Setup SRT

    Yeah, I love to use rings for my Single Line anchors too, I choose the Fimbl Climb for ultimate compactness. And like you show, knot blocking on either 'LARGE' or 'SMALL' ring is safely achieved. You didn't tie in backwards, you tie in as Roger Sassolas and Francois Dussenne first envisaged...

    How could anyone think this is a good idea?

    I've seen this video but do not know anything about it, people or place. I was struck by how comfortable the old boy looked up there, must've done a bunch of cutting in his life. The spikes are common here, and for poles, once accustomed to them, are very comfortable. There are different...

    Mystery Lowering Device/Winch?

    That is a prototype that ODSK (Japanese Arb equipment retailor) have designed. Design is by Osaka Takashi with a hefty nod to the FTC Micro Cylinder. If it works out it should be a well made and lightweight piece of kit. I’ve told them countless times that the winch shouldnt be used for...

    CEU question

    Thank you though not too sure how to proceed with this now, or if I can find the energy to delve into ISA politics. I'll certainly put some feelers out. Again, thank you.

    CEU question

    I did contact them, the Japan branch. I wonder if the CEU eligibility process is disgressional from chapter to chapter?

    CEU question

    I run workshops in Japan, I have a seven day event coming up with a bunch of teachers, three of whom are international and two of which are Certified Arborists by the ISA. It was suggested to me that I contact the Chapter here to see if the individual parts of the event could have CEU's...
