Controlled speedline / slideline | Arborist rigging systems 

Honestly tree work is hard enough without all the critics. While there are many ways to skin a cat, and this tree could be done in many different ways, it's a good example of a technique that would get you out of a bind in a safe and economical way. Great video guys definitely a system to keep in mind on the next job i come across with a limited drop zone. keep it up

I don't know why, but I get so happy learning new things like this. Cheers

so much respect for you guys! the amount of knowledge and risk involved is wild!

I like your controlled speed line setup. Not needed most of the time but when needed it would be very valuable. The backline is a great safety. Very nicely thought out.

Really great video guys! I'm always so impressed about how you guys thoroughly explain techniques, and demonstrate from different angles. Impeccable...please keep the videos coming.

Best video on rigging up a slide line I have ever seen. Excellent work, and guys with used ropes who breeze through tying knots. Well done, and Thank You.

After watching videos of cameras, car crashes and the usual YTUBE rabbit hole I stumbled on this. Very interesting and clever you guys. I shall never look at tree surgeons in the same way. Be safe

Dobrá práce, moderní postupy. Zdlouhavá příprava, která má smysl. Smrkové dřevo je lehké šlo by nařezat na menší kusy a házet na zem, nebo kolmo spouštět dolů muselo by se pracovat od spodu nahoru. Těžké bukové dřevo náročná práce poškodilo by střechu. Video je dobrou ukázkou moderních postupů v praxi. Děkuji za poučení.

Well made video . This helps people immensely

If I could rewind time I would have loved to have become a arborist. Hard yet rewarding work that’s always requiring mental strength not just physical.

this is truly therapeutic to watch.

Very helpful because of the quality filming. Great stuff

Dan the setup is sick! I love the technique, keep sending it!!

another great video as usual .Crystal clear and very helpful .Thanks for posting .

Definitely helpful, love these tricks of the industry! Thanks for sharing!

Nice work guys ! First tree work video I've seen that is very good and correct . I've used your method for years ! Only with almost no mechanical stuff . Peace , stay safe !

podoba mi się to bardzo pouczający film i czegoś się już nauczyłem pozdrawiam i spokojnego dnia życzę.

one of my favorite tree vids on RU-vid.

Great demo guys, very nice set up. great use of gear!

Awsome video. Please do more like this and provide a bit more detail on the rigging for us begginers. Thanks.

Excellent explanation, and an excellent job recording this.

Wow, that was so fancy! Great talent and skills. Thanks you for sharing, I had no idea about these methods. I love learning the technical aspects of others' professions.

Awesome Rigging !!

As always, AWESOME video!! (Learned much of my first climbing-info from you when I got my 1st rope!) It's crazy seeing something like that where you're actually making-use of that DMM block & rigging-hub, they're real pretty gear haha just beautiful hardware, am a fan of rings myself after hearing Reg Coates' endorsement of them and giving mine some more serious use and finding they were actually desirable because that extra bit of friction up there was *good*! Obviously in this scenario you benefit from the increased efficiency of a pulley because you're running *two* lines - must be what you mean by CONTROLLED-speedline eh?- very cool, to be honest I can't say I've seen that I usually just see someone setup a line and send right down it, I love the safety / smarts of the 'load-balancing', equalizing-of-force that you get with a 2-rope system such as that, the loads you were sending....AWESOME!!! (still though, that DMM gear was still probably 2 or 3x the strength needed lol but hey overkill is better than underdoing it!)

Very good instructions.

One of your best videos!! Thanks bud 👊🏻 🌲💪🏻

I liked it. Love all the gear shots. Thanks!

Well done ! Good comments too !

Nice setup man!

You guys are flippin awesome

Love it, I can see a few job we could've used this technique. Thanks for sharing tree brother, great work, explanation and editing.

Dynamite video ! Very slick work and I liked the three-piece loads. Hardware massive and sharp-looking too.

Great video, learned a lot, from Australia.

Should've shown the top. Did you see the recent one Reg put out "tree work takes practice". Sick vid. He locked off the port from IN the tree. He showed himself testing his system at the beginning too. He is so mellow but I know he was so proud of getting that on camera. The system you show here is surprisingly easy to set up. Love the prusik at the bottom to hold the tension. Probably most ergonomic and failsafe choice. You guys should invest in the mb speed line kit. And you could fill the wheel up to capacity of the pulleys/rollers. Btw, couldn't you just put the rigging line on the first of the branches in a bundle and send as much as your tensioning system would lift and let the first branch hold up the group? (No pulleys, no wheel)

Awesome succinct informative demo and superb production on the video too

After watching this video I am now a arborist, tree felling pro. RU-vid degree. Great vid. TY

Awesome video guys!

Wow. The videography is impressive. Thanks guys. Keep up the good work

Nice work. Thanks for dropping some knowledge

Hats of for your skills :) thanks for the video. TR

good job, thank you, very informative

Simply Awesome !

Very helpful to a newbie!

Impressive ! learned tons (although I might be too old to do this stuff). Some great ideas there. will learn lots more when I can watch and stop. GREAT camara work, must have taken LOTS of extra effort !

Really like the way you’ve set this up. The tensioning would be made easier with a grcs, no? Just a thought.

Nice Hub Thanks for showing it in use

I want to set up lines like this and move stuff back and forth. Looks fun. lol

Class work gentlemen

Brilliant instructional video, I really like the extra effort put into your camera angles, drone shots and technique. Worth watching twice! It would be rare to need this but knowing how it can be done expands the mind. As you have pointed out before, sometimes you want extra friction in the system, to reduce strain on ground lines and terminal impact. Other times you want the free control of a block and control line to manage that energy more efficiently.

Nice production and good demonstration.

great coverage another excetional video ! thanks

thanks to this video boi to earn a raise in this job

all these tough guys and know it alls out here. This is a DEMONSTRATION. so you can get and idea of what to do when you cant back the chipper or remove fences,, ### SAVATREE NJ

Not an arborist but damn this is cool. Would love to do this.

clean job... great demostration.. thank you.

So much helpful! Thanks a lot

Awesome

Excellent...very educational.

Pretty slick! Nice rope work.

excellent video n how to safety speed line with control ..

I am a little surprised that a 3:1 pulley system was adequate to tension the line enough for the branches to clear the house, but it worked well. Good job!

That was amazing ! Very nicely done thanks alot for this tip bro!

well done i use this method alot

really awesome video brother, i hope one day i have gear like yours

Awesome video keep them coming 👌

wow!!!! nice work guys very technical

Just awesome

Nice video. Explained very well. Good job :-)

Nice system

Great video!

wow! you guys know how to rig. well done

cool video, you guys are the best keep making videos!

Great vid. Don’t understand the dislikes. Trolls I guess. Keep the vids coming.😎

Rational and wonderful!

So that's what you do with that ring! Is it possible to rig the head out onto the speedline? Guess you would need a separate anchor point on another tree

great video keep them coming!

What size speed line are you using. Size ,type and length of pursiks. Great video

"Somewhat helpful"... have a like just for that!

Good luck getting it done like this in the states

fantastic instructional video. very textbook.

very informative. good video.

Quick question if it was a removal why not wear gafs ? to improve positioning yourself

Buen vídeo compañeros!!!

Great

Top notch job , nice and controlled .

thanks great. video. very. helful i wonder. if. there. is. eny. book. on the market. where. y can learn. all. this. techniques

very good ..!

I miss climbing trees/ i moved to asia and i did bring all my gear and have done some trees but tue locals are hell men. No ropes no nothing. Just a 090 hahah

There are allways some people that can not apreciate the effort to make a good information video and start put deslikes instead going to hell.... shitt people!!! Congratilations this is a very good video!

Excellent video team, was just wondering, would you do this without a back tie rope as sometimes there is no tree to do so? And also would George be able to tighten the speed line and loosen it using a lowering block instead of the system shown?

congratulations!

Wow that's some good stuff I like!¡!!!

You guys are badass!

That was quite interesting, how'd you get the rest of the tree down? Thanks for the video.

If you don’t mind me asking, which chainsaw is it that he is using I. The tree to limb it out? Thank you.

Nice Job 🤓🤓🤗

well done !

May I have name or link for buy the violet wheel?

complicated but good

good job,,But from my 30 years climbing trees a couple strong men or a skid steer,/ tractor will take the place of all the rigging, ive sucked up a many big limbs over roofs with just elbow grease,,but multiple pulleys do have thier place
