I did some of this way long ago before I understood the dangers of the butt coming back toward the climber 😅 I hardly use it contract climbing anymore because I rarely have a reliable enough rope guy to pull it off. You getting some big pieces out though. Cool stuff.
Great info and awesome sharing your knowledge, This video definitely can help save from some serious damage or death to someone, I'm sure most of us have seen climbers get hurt by rigging heavy pieces, even small pieces and not being aware of the situation they put themselves in.
Good video. I like doing that too, but I’ve learned after many years of it, that often it’s better to take it out in smaller pieces. That makes it easier for the groundie to deal with once it’s on the ground. (I typically only have one ground guy).
Yeah if you only got one ground guy, or maybe you’re not fully confident in the rope man’s ability, then you just gotta do what you Gotta do. I work on a lot of job sites where they have machines and things to help manage pieces on the ground, so rigging big is typically more efficient.
Sweet! I love the details on positioning and how to cut a good hinge. If the wind is fighting you would you rather add tag lines or rig smaller pieces?
Tag lines. I use them often enough if I’m unsure I can get something to go in the desired direction. Tag lines are so easy to add, and help the ground guys get the piece down.
Nice video, just found your channel. I'm very familiar with all the info presented. You didn't mention the importance of a good rope guy on these cuts, is that because you are saying that if the limbs are rigged right then the rope guy doesn't play a critical roll in the process; he more or less has to let the piece down after all the dynamic action is finished? Being a CC, you must work with alot of marginal rope guys. Thanks for your info.
You def need a good rope guy. That’s the most important thing With any type of rigging honestly. Maybe I’ll make a video on rigging with less then average, or new rope guys. I def get my share of good and bad, but I’ve been very fortunate to get more good. One thing that gets overlooked is the importance of developing good rope guys. Giving them opportunities in different styles of rigging, even if it’s in situations where rigging isn’t needed, but the climber can be comply out of the way. I focus on working with the guys I’m given the opportunity to work with, and try to build them up. Benefits me in the long run.
@@therealzigzagman Great reply, thanks for your perspective. IMO, for the advanced rigging you showed here, definetly need a good rope guy, not only to make the cut work but especially to keep the climber safe. Keep up the good work!
@@Onthewayupp the Husqvarna t540i is pretty serious dude. Not for homeowners or rookies. Very powerful honestly. Just the batteries themselves are heavy. I don’t like the weighting
