Port A Wrap Install (Part 1)

[@kevinvanbrunt7498]

Since the pull will be upward, the initial “wrap” on the porty should be around the top and under. Then add your wraps/tucks. The way you have it tied is how it should be in the tree for your block/pulley since the force will be pulling down against the timber hitch.

Ahhh.. Good point !

[@barkerstreellc]

As said in another comment the wraps should be the opposite direction so as it's loaded up the tree it don't unwind

[@angussmith262]

Cow hitch if your deadeye sling is long enough. Faster to tie. Otherwise timber hitch works just fine aswell.

[@daviddutch2258]

The upward pull would not be good for a cowhitch even with a better half hitch added... Cow hitch for safebloc and pullys downward and side ways pull, timber hitch for upward pull I'd say.

[@raytyre750]

I like the timber hitch too. With one time instruction, any groundie can tie it and it holds every time.

[@branchmanager1100]

Abdon- FALWLESS instruction, brother ! Even I understood it.🤣 👍

Great work man! Another 450 dollars worth of stuff I need to do tree work? I'd rather add a second strap up top so the portorwrap stays in position like a tree bollard!

[@anthonyr6286]

Not the newest video but I have a question. Let's say you didn't have some sort of a sling whether it be a dead eye or loopy or woopie, what would be acceptable if you just had a piece of rope? Knots, setup, ect

[@ss229er7]

You could still girth hitch the Portawrap to one end of the rope (girth hitch and a half hitch), then do the same timber hitch like in video.

[@daveyjoseph6058]

never even seen a port a wrap before this video, and i don't even work in this industry. but i do like ropes, so i understand the recommendation. thank you for the knowledge 😂

[@elizaehrlich]

Whats the rope and the metal contraption around the bottom of the tree for?

[@BartlettArboristSupply]

That is a Port-a-Wrap and tenex hollow braid sling used to attach it to the tree. The Port-a-Wrap is used during removals and/or rigging operations in tree care, it allows us to easily handle larger sections of tree coming down.

@@BartlettArboristSupply Oops, I left this comment on the wrong video. It was supposed to be on this short from an Indian arborist: kzbin.infoetkwdmlWSpM?si=WThJbIU5-mMKrNvA (I thought it might also be a port-a-wrap which is how I came on your video but they don't seem to be using it for limb lowering)

[@elizaehrlich]

Nevermind, looks like it is a port-a-wrap and they do use it for that later.

[@andrastoth2654]

preach!

[@JF-fx2qv]

In the future for more detailed knots or other important tips etc. please use a camera of quality ( I assume a cell phone was used - poor quality ). Thanks.

[@BAKERHUSKIE]

Poor quality? You're joking right?

[@nolan_shaga]

Couldn’t you just use a ratchet strap?
