Tore it up in 3 hours. This was the last job I did without using a propper tie in on a shackel with a friction saver.

Hey Jesse,
You can girth a rated loopie onto the wire and run that down to your climbing line with the line going through any rated biner, which can hang at or slightly below the hook...

That is your back up, and you're in compliance with saftey standards, as I see it... You are still riding the hook, just not putting your life on it... We used to do that before the cranes started coming with their own shackle and strap system... Its fast and easy... Get a super heavy duty loopie for the job. I forget what the ones I use are, but it will come to me..

No time to watch the whole thing tonight... Hopefully get to it soon... Keep rollin' tape bro...

The tie in is wrong and I knew it better before I put this up.
Today I will do things differently.
Thanks Daniel.

Thanks for putting it back up! Good work. Smooth cuts.

Others can learn from what can be done differently with the tie in to the crane. Well worth watching. Keep up the good work.

You the man snow puff. Nice saw pinch at 1:28, good job not getting too much of it on cam. I'll try to help ya out and save some time try a clevis. It really is much faster than running the whole strap through the eye loop.

Pics came off smooth. I like having the saw shut off before the piece lifts. Very safe. Nice work.

If you are a Willie fan he did a reggae album about 4 years ago. He had a version of "the bigger they come the harder they fall" it would make a good vid soundtrack. It seems these helmet cams have trouble on cloudy days. Adjusting the light from looking at sky to ground. They seem to make a better vid on sunny days. Gotta get me one of those cams.

Ditto that....

However, out west, as you saw in my recent pics, we like to use logging chokers. Quickest hook up of all...

Mind you, on the big poplar job we did in '08, I made a mistake not asking Mike how long his big chokers were...and how many. We needed 30 footers....and two of them!!!

Though I do prefer fabric slings for craning the canopy.

boreality,

That's true of any camera. Manual control of exposure is a must for difficult lighting situations.

For instance, whether it's sunny or overcast, if the subject is in shadow, there will be too much dynamic range for the bright sky and the subject to both be properly lit. But in overcast conditions, a digital sensor, especially simpler ones such as would be in a helmet cam, really stumble.

A quick way to fool the sensor is to aim the camera at a darker section of the scene, then quickly move back to the subject. The lag in the time it takes the sensor to adjust to the overall brightness of the scene can give a few seconds of better exposure of the desired subject.
