Buncha lift sissies

What’s the superior knot to a clove hitch for this application? 7:07

Watched 4 out of 12 minutes. This title should have been "Things not to do as a "professional" tree cutter."

A lot of set up. nice job, and leaned a cool rigging knot.

When you use overhead/positive rigging the weight from the static load doubles at the overhead rigging point. If the static load is five pounds, there is five pounds of force on the line attached to the load and five pounds on the other side of the rigging point, but at the rigging point it doubles. There will be ten pounds of force at that point.

Would be interested to see how this compares to the cmi rope jack! Great video!

Throw a prussic loop just below the Blake’s hitch and you can use your legs to help ascend. I’m sure you know this. Just figured some of the viewers may benefit from knowing.

This is twice I have seen this cut method shown, and both times it didn’t seem to work any better than a conventional cut. What am I missing?

Surprised to see so many nubs below your rigging. Speed bumps?

23 minutes for this? serously..and this was part 2 hahaha

GREAT video.......

Very helpful. Thank you.

I fell a few feet like this one time and luckily it didn’t hurt. It did scare the crap out of me because I didn’t even expect it at all since the tree was very leafy and didn’t realize I was on a twig and not the main crotch. I was not even 10 feet off the ground but when you drop suddenly, it is scary.

How'd you get it to sit so nicely in place

Great Job! Thank you to sharing with us.

Patrick,, You Are The Man. !!

I love your videos bc they're ez to understand

Outstanding

Hot

That's an impressive overload capability. Absent using a loading cell as you did, are there any clues to avoid bending the handle other than not using an extension. I sometimes don't know my own strength. 😢 . Is the handle replacement a big deal.

I hope the kid in the green hoodie is good.. he was earning a skillset.. life will get at at you...

Wow, the view from up there must be😊

good demo, but there is no way you needed 3:1 with the machine pulling.... and round bar on the bucket would have been easier to tie. No need to fool around with those wedges. I haven't used the 3:1 MA rope system much in the last 15 years, but it used to be a daily driver! It's like riding a bike...

How do I save this because I need to watch this repeatedly until I can do this in my sleep 😴 💤 save

I think the Ironton 1-Ton Rope Puller would stand the test. It has two gears on both sides of the drum.

This is gold!

Pourquoi arrivé en tête, place suffisante et dégagée pour 1 coupe sans soucis? Pourquoi tant d entailles? 1 coupe d entailledirectionnelle aurait suffit! Ensuite coupe d abattage classique. Pourquoi tant de chichis? J avoue ne pas comprendre?

Seen that setup with same gauge chain only two of them in an x shape, and it snapped over time. Cant stretch enough i guess

Nice smooth. Is the bight for a practical purpose though like retrieveability? Im not used to srt yet

❤ it !

Thanks Patrick. I had assembled the pieces to make my own when I saw this and realized it would work better with the 'biner loop on the top strap. I was not aware then that anyone was making a top strap for the P-A-W and they are not readily available in the USA, as far as I can find. It's always good to see that someone who knows what they are doing thinks it's a good idea, before you start making stuff. Works great. Great work, as ever.

We need squirrel update

Este es el mejor video de TODOSSSSS!!!!!!

And get a side angle drill the manual handles suck

Just under cut at the trunk and peel it up

Would be great to see a side by side comparison to the wyeth scott more power puller.

Aha! 3 holed hitch climber pulley only with a spliced eye rope termination or if wanting to continue down the KZbin arborist rabbit hole and investigate the M-system. At long last I understand why some use a simple micro pulley for slack tending and some use the hitch climber pulley. Thank you so much for consicely illuminating this!

I love that you have at least a section of a tree in your office.

Very inter - rest - ting, but NOT funny...

Some of my coworkers call it a butt tie when the other tail is up on a tree is that correct?

Love the 12 incherr!

Doesn't the tree shake violently as the rope takes the weight of the top on its way down?

It looks like a lot of work went into stretch.

I would be more inclined to stick with the idea of spilling the overhand knot rather than flipping it. A carrick bend has to be spilled to set properly after being initially tied as a weave. A square knot (reef Knot) can be spilled into a larks head.

You're the first person I've seen in the tree world spill an overhand knot to tie the bowline. Quickest way in my opinion and easiest to remember for a beginner. Only one step left after you spill it.

Rock on.

i am having flash backs/nightmares. lucas tree 1986 was working the ice storm 1998.feels like a distant memory.

Awesome! Have a half dead soft maple and this is some of the rigging I will use. As always appreciate you sharing your knowledge!

Working in a cemetery 😮. One wrong move and youre one more of the boys 😂

So he throws it's nest away and takes it out the nest and starts handling it.
