How to Use Mechanical Advantage to Pull Trees and Lift Logs

[@modelcitizen394]

I love using the rigging techniques I've learned as an arborist to recover stuck vehicles when we go off-roading.

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

Truth!

[@bmwof-texas3923]

Nice trap But, how do you drop the rock on the deer when it passes?

[@PCHUANG-yk9pw]

What a great teacher you are! Your strong point is intellectual, not physical. In fact, your weak physical constitution helps your demonstration, making it more convincing. Great job!

[@27JASKO]

... like unleashing the girly man?

[@nakedmongoose123]

LMAO

[@calvinedwards8576]

Wow, that was great. That's the best explanation I've seen of how to use mechanical advantage. Thanks!

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dungeonmaster6292]

thank you for putting the equipment on screen as you demonstrate!

[@TemplarX2]

Excellent and clear explanation. But I wonder, how did you attach that rope to that heavy boulder? This deserves a tutorial on its own. ;)

[@michaelrodriguez6210]

That's what I was hoping to get when I clicked the video

[@drchilapastrosodrlasmacas438]

Oye Quetzalcoatl, como estas? It's chicome mallinali 🌟 the power of knots is how the rock was tied! I know it

[@colinsheridan2157]

Most likely a bowling on a bite

[@colinsheridan2157]

You can also use a bowling on a bike for a tree, climbing harness

[@thegodsnut8595]

THIS DEMO IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND THANK YOU FOR SHARING US THE IDEA SIR.

[@mrm5515]

This was very interesting, and I learned from it. My main take-away is that the Rock Exotica system costs just under $400.00!!! you do realize that is out of reach to most of us non professionals! Can you show us an alternative, though surely not as convenient, method using only rope and/or affordable gear?

[@dariodesansebastian]

Adding some sort of hitch like a michoacan hitch or blake's hitch should help with holding the load in place. No idea for resetting it, though!!

[@erichepperle5902]

Very helpful vidoe on mechanical advantage #mechanicalAdvantage for backyard DIYers

[@scuzzyhoulihan9853]

Thanks bro made it easy to teach my daughter this concept for school.

[@thegodsnut8595]

THIS DEMO IS EASY TO UNDERSTAND THANK YOU SHARING US THE IDEA SIR.

[@raymondsanchez808]

What knot is used to wrap/hold the rock up? 😊

[@Floris_VI]

Interesting, thanks for the video. I need to life a ~150lbs anvil so this will absolutely be useful

[@charlesmcdonald8375]

I like that. Can you tell me this……..does the amount of mechanical advantage vary depending on the angle of the redirect.

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

Not really. Maybe in a theoretical sense, or with a very low efficiency pulley.

[@tomprovan50]

I learned a lot, lots to think about thank you

[@jackle842000]

Nice & would like to learn it but it's so far away I can't see anything that went on really for a job arborist. Looks like pretty cool results though

[@stevoflint13]

Nice explanation, Nick.

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

Glad it helped!

[@julianalderson3938]

Hope dont need it but love it. And wasent aware i could reset. Thanx great vid

[@193322009]

Excellent demonstration !

[@iissamiam]

This is a lot of very basic rigging techniques and some fairly advanced equipment. Hopefully, anybody who needs this basic of instruction hasn’t bought that much equipment without knowing how to use it.

[@teeanahera8949]

That is true. That rock cost about $600 to lift. I think the vid is more about mechanical advantage, clearly a 1 tonne chain hoist with 2.5m lift for $56 from eBay (I bought one today) would be easier. A simple wooden tripod over the rock acts as the “crane”.

[@jamesross9433]

All the gear no idea?

[@jimmy66603]

Great tutorial. Easy to understand.

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

Glad it was helpful!

[@heribertobarajas1067]

Can we use a Dyneema 1/2inch rope with the rope jack

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

It should work!

[@BigDaddy-je2nq]

I once threw a 50ft rope around ~20ft up on the top of a giant tree that got lodged on another tree at a 60° angle, it would’ve been an industrial sized mechanical advantage if I had something to use it for

[@davethebikeman4194]

I would use a CLEAT HITCH to lock off the Porta-Wrap.....not 2 half hitches. Outside of that. Great presentation.

[@j.a.s.2684]

Great video and well explained... I needed this!

[@lakecityransom]

Looks like you could mangle your fingers badly on the reset process if you fail to set it correctly.

[@brianmagnuson8362]

Excellent information! Thank you.

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Alatinu]

Thankyou vm vefy usefull and very didactic .Heakth for you and yours

[@ferdinandfourie1317]

Can you use this system with larger pulleys to assist in lifting branches in tip tying method, similar to GRCS or Stein RCW3001?

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

Bigger pulleys lend small increases in efficiency but generally if you want more output you use more pulleys, not bigger ones.

[@accaciagame1706]

You can put progress capture on all these system. Even the one without mechanical advantage. What are you talking about?

[@nyetloki]

Wait the first one is basically a truckers hitch. You could lock that one off.

[@Mr71paul71]

And you can rig it to auto lock too

[@ronaldbrown4729]

Im confused with the last part where hes talking about how something can be done with scrap rope

[@billbutler2452]

It was explained in the video, this is a 'Cadillac $ system', and this all could be done much cheaper with some shopping for similar equipment. If life or critical materials are being maneuvered, I'd assume you acquired the best equipment available and had some formal training. If this is more for 'Handyman use', a cheaper (but definitely reasonably reliable) system you can make on your own would work just as well, might take more time to set up, but would do just fine, and the videos are pretty good showing how to use the system, BUT PRACTICE BEFORE! It is fun to learn & use the pulley systems, but to 'Compound the Advantage' also means 'Compounding any possible problems you weren't aware of' before Murphy's Law set up an unforeseeable dangerous mess. So study several different videos and practice. Good luck & be safe.

[@zeke1eod]

Awesome video, thanks for sharing, God bless

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

Thank you! You too!

[@BowenOrg]

Excellent demonstration.... most appreciated! : ) Amen Veteran

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Mr71paul71]

Why the helmet ? Do you have big pigeons that poop heavy rocks from a great height

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

Its the hawks actually, they fly the acorns up and drop them.

[@notcharles]

Pricey mechanical advantage gear!

[@doublemintmaple]

Well done!

[@kilroy987]

This was very cool.

[@richardgibson5635]

Amazing

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@accaciagame1706]

Very useful.

[@amesornish1232]

Good info

[@julianalderson3938]

3 to 1 used often yer prob is gets in ya pulley. Then doesent work. That was good cheers

[@doncook3584]

Very cool

[@danadane1517]

Thanks!

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

You bet!

[@hardstylelife5749]

Or....you can simply put a pulley straight onto the main tree and using only the main rope you can lift up the rock as much as you want :) no more “pulling distance” bothering or forcing you to have 500$ equipment to lift something up 2 yards. Beside kidding it was a nice video, it was interesting to see your alternative solutions

[@Lem-Tamme]

I love it excellent

[@rwatson2609]

Very smart !!!

[@AdamSmithChill]

nice vid 👍

[@stivie.marclecio8526]

muito bom!!!

[@softwhere07]

Now why would I go through all that trouble just to raise a rock?

[@SoonGone]

Thank Jesus he wore his helmet for this.

[@muhwaqali]

Extra ordinary tough procedure.it would be better if make one scenario and then give us solution

[@drchilapastrosodrlasmacas438]

Amazing

[@340wbymag]

I love my Rock Exotica kit.

[@TheLastLevitan]

Pulleys are way more expensive than I thought they'd be

[@daverdal1]

Wow!

[@bricmpt]

$500 dollars of gear? Go spend 40 at home depot for a come along.

[@accaciagame1706]

That's what I'm gonna do

[@johnnysparkleface3096]

Not easy for a newbie to see exactly what you're doing. You're whipping through this demo without closeups or pauses, no diagrams. All I learned was that you know what you're doing.

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

Thanks for this feedback. I remember that we had a technical problem when we shot this, so it might be that we lost one of the cameras.

[@SoonGone]

Yeah too quick. Couldn't follow this at all. Maybe this channel isn't for noobs though.

[@tonybucca5667]

$365 for 2 pulleys and some rope??? RRRIIIIIGGGHHHTTTT!!!!

[@moulabens6082]

truckers hitch

[@JcRmejia]

Can i have video request content can you make lift 1 ton using pulley and how many pulley needed to do the jab **** hehe I'm now good at english sory

[@coreynasfell1095]

Thanks, now my brain hurts!

[@PredatorOmnivore]

You know your rigging buy you are not a good instructor. You did not show attachment of progress stop on MA system well enough for teaching someone how.

[@Venom-nk8nd]

🇵🇬🇵🇬,,,...

[@GaryChildress-r7t]

Stop the irritating laughter, please

[@Teno-z5m]

Now iknow how they built the pirámides

[@gaylanbishop1641]

Well done!

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

Thanks!
