(aside for the ant crawling around inside my computer screen, like to have that as my screen saver). You tied those pieces on the speedline so tight. Mine drop onto it and give an unwanted pull on the line. I will try to tighten that up now. Thanks X.

I thought it was an ant too and it might still have been, but part of it's movement seemed almost like a jumping spider.
That show stealing critter! I'm sure he's dead by now, but will live on forever on youtube.
Those pieces looked bigger than they were I think. Most were light compared to alot of our speedlines we do. Only on 1/2" speedline I think, most of ours are on 9/16".
Not real heavy.
since some dropped into the line, the man tightening the speedline was instructed to let it go, totally free after a second on any heavy ones, we just needed them to clear the fence below so we didn't have to lower them and mess with them.
Customer wanted to clean up everything themselves,
so the backyard speedline really helped us strip that tree out quick and we just threw the stuff asside as they unclipped the loop runners.
One heavier peice that had back lean was notched and pulled by speedline, I told Adam as soon as it drops onto that speedline, I want to see you let it go and it will clear the fence just fine. (that's why you see him throw hands in the air) If line was held tight, could have risked breaking out anchor point in tree or maybe stressed or broke the small rope.
that speedline was tightened by hand with 3x mechanical advantage (a two sheave pulley and a single pulley)if I remember correctly.
I call that a "no control speedline", used when there is tons of clearance over an object and big landing zone.
They were just loop runners and steel biners for most of the limbs. heavy limbs used some small pulleys or combination.
Good to know you liked it.
I've seen the video so many times through editing, I don't want to see it anymore, i'm sick of it.
