This is the video that actually taught me the technique as a currently inexperienced arborist. Its short and to the point, well explained, and you can see the motions nice and clearly. Most other tutorials by tree companies would be 9 minutes long and involve the guy telling his life story as he dismantles a tree and you better not skip forward because the instruction would be at exactly 7:33 of the video. Its like trying to find a cooking recipe online and being forced to sit through a blog! Up until now I've been using a tape sling to choke off the branch and taglining it. Its always worked but a lot of outfits ive worked with are pretty old school and prefer everything done with knots.
When ringing and lowering multiple pieces I will tie a clove hitch on the upper branch leave enough leg rope to tie a running bowline on the branch below. I will cut the lower branch first then cut the upper branch. That’s how I rig two branches at once.
Each knot is a new tool for your toolbox. I have videos on the bowline and running bowline. I have videos for multiple useful knots. I do agree that the running bowline is useful for most rigging applications. I hope this helps and thanks for watching our videos.
@@mcallistertreetraining1383 I apologize for coming off a bit caustic. Every knot is a tool in the box.. appreciate u taking the time to make videos to teach others
@@dertyjerz3 no you are good. It’s a good argument. 90% of the time bowline will do the job. No need to apologize. We appreciate you watching our videos.
You are correct and that is also why I have many other videos for knots and tree work. The clove hitch is a tool to use when needed. It never hurts to have more tools in the toolbox.
