as promised i said if there was not time left during my TCIA virtual summit presentation for this video i would put it up on RU-vid. well here it is. enjoy.
Lawrence that was amazing, the way you really put safety at the forefront is something I really admire. There was no stone left unturned in the balancing of forces in those rigging set ups. Great job thank you for sharing!........Climb Safe.
The thing you have we all envy is that feel for the edge of failure....so many opportunities for it here and not so much as a miss step....climber,ground crew were as 1...thank you
What a puzzle...anyone that has had to take a cabled oak down in California for instance knows the complications- that just old cabling dynamics present...then you had rig heavy wood in what I call a compressed horizontal space - not to speak off what the ground crew had to accomplish below - very excellent! Thank you for sharing - invaluable footage!
Guys who watch to the end will realize why this had to come down. It is held together with chain and cable, infested with ants, an accident waiting to happen. Brilliant demo of how challenging this can be.
Absolutely outrageous, what a job that was. You mentioned "The wheel" a few times, what are you referring to? Is the Hobbs the only lifiting device you used? Totally awesome rigging and planning. Jim Tree.
I'm going to take some screenshots with your permission?! And I'm going to put it on my tiktok channel because I'm not doing much to work and a little bit of corny stuff I'm doing will never compare to what the real big boy named arborists of the world are doing and I could speak the truth because the truth is what makes me very passionate about being able to even be in this industry Much love and respect from your brother from another mother #zrunner
Hey man I noticed in several clips you were tied in 3 times. Were you just using a primary and secondary climbing line so you could access the different parts of your rigging without spiking all the way up or did you have concerns the lifting and heavy wood was going to cause a failure near your main TIP?
Holy shit, what a monster! That was some great rigging. Very time consuming I'm sure. Looks like it went pretty smooth. Out of curiosity would you have a ballpark figure on pricing something like this? Thanks for sharing!!
