    Floating Rigging Point?

    Perfect example thank u , I like this because it gives me some room to play with, anything between 45° in 120° won’t multiply my forces But I wonder which is right. Because the video Tom posted the link too shows dif math. Gonna do some more research

    Floating Rigging Point?

    Into a V . I see . Ok that makes sense. Do u happen to know why a V shape doesn’t multiply the load as much ? I like that method a lot tho

    Toasty ash- how would YOU do it?

    Ya bro if u think the wind will blow it over probably better to walk away safe. We all know that once borers hit the trees they are determined to fail within 3 years , they stand longer , they fall faster it’s random but there are still failing activity. I work in a full blown large tree removal...

    Toasty ash- how would YOU do it?

    Agreed , if the tree has been leaning more with saturation I wouldn’t climb it without tying it back to another tree for support. Dead trees in saturated soil can end up with a dead climber quick if ur not safe in you POA. Get a lift if u can on tracks. If not then you may be getting pretty...

    Toasty ash- how would YOU do it?

    If you can come off like a professional, who cares for their tree you should be ok , unless their jerks , but definitely explain thst u can do it without harming their tree and that it will make the job much safer.

    Toasty ash- how would YOU do it?

    How far from the nearest tree? You gotta be careful chuncking down the dead trees in a negative rigging fashion, ya know. Near the base of the tree it looks like another tree is near? More pictures of drop zone , Obstacles, and maybe a picture of your hand next to the base of the tree so we can...

    How do you “ethically” ascend redwoods with weak anchor branches?

    Bore-in on the cut? That’s how my mentor and awesome boss assures me is the only legit way to take really big tops. I love the coffee break pics lol I’ll get one eventually

    How do you “ethically” ascend redwoods with weak anchor branches?

    This stunted old growth is as small as a 2/3rd gen, face cut was put in and then the tree wasn’t logged. I would have to say if they all look like this I wouldn’t have asked how to do it : | but it would be nice if they all looked like this but bigger ‍Right? its
