Rigging We Use For Loading Logs

[@Bushman9]

The acorn never falls far from the tree.

[@TEMPESTsonofThunder]

I’m one of the new people to this channel. Thanks for making another video about this topic for us new viewers.

[@tmccusk1]

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree! Thanks for the video.

[@kenbrown2808]

my rig includes a cable with a shackle on one end and a chain hook on the other. but all my rigging is lighter, because I can't get anything more beefy than a comealong to most places I have to get trees out of. you never need rigging stronger than what you have to pull with. (but of course, usually the heavier rigging you have is better than the lighter rigging you'd have to spend money on)

[@secondgrowthhomes]

I love your videos. You have really inspired me and my own forestry work. I love your methods. Thank you for sharing

[@Dustin_the_wind]

Thanks, Wilson.

5:00 Excellent delivery! Another good joke to add to the log!

[@NPzed]

I rate the joke tree out of 3!

[@vanderfleet-martin]

Thumbs up for the dad joke

[@willtricks9432]

Work days would drag longer than a 100ft cable if you didn't crack a few jokes. Cheers

[@Zebracat5]

Love the Knowledge I learn on your Channel. Thanks alot.

[@billy-go9kx]

Love the 'Close quarters' quandary. So you are a copy cat? Maybe you should be the producer and he can be the talent.

[@flintknappingtools]

This is a great video, exhaustive explanations! Thanks for your patience! And your squatch story!

[@stephendickinson9929]

Good joke from the pop. Thanks for the real belly laugh.

Thanks

[@gotti5472]

Thanks for all the info just in case I need it in the future 😊

[@chowtimewithruss1411]

Great video!!!!

[@BrettMarsden-h7u]

Very slick!

[@Gordon_L]

To make an eye in wire rope what we did sometimes in the fishing industry was make what we called a lazy splice , it is also called a farmers eye in some circles . Can come in handy sometimes and is a very easy skill to learn .

[@Bushman9]

Had to go look that up. Pretty cool.

[@Gordon_L]

@@Bushman9 Thanks , I found out this morning it can also be known as a Molly Hogan eye or loop , that's a name I hadn't come across before .

[@Delgwah]

Thank you, good one.

Cat 320D. Be warming it up shortly

[@martinsto8190]

Surely the same method could work for loading it on a barge?

[@mcblaggart8565]

It always surprises me how well those cables grip bark. I keep expecting them to slip free, but you've never shown that happen, nor any concern that it might.

[@westcoaster3763]

What is the difference between a shackle and a clevis?

[@dev4statingx90]

Id like to make some sort of diy sky line going down hill to my landing. Thoughts???

[@kenbrown2808]

how down is down? the biggest challenge of a downhill skyline is putting on the brakes at the bottom. otherwise, if you do it right, it will reduce a lot of effort. I'd say, unless you really need to cross bad terrain, leave the tail of the log dragging on the ground, to prevent a runaway. or if terrain and staff permit, a log zipline, where the log rides the line down the hill, and then you pull the carriage back up after your partner unrigs it.

[@dev4statingx90]

@@kenbrown2808 well I have a generator so I could electrify it. Also it's like a 60° angle. It's pretty bad.

[@kenbrown2808]

@dev4statingx90 yeah, at that angle you would definitely want to control the descent rate.

[@GlorifiedG-z9c]

Gee wiz, eventually that giant tree is just going to be firewood 😜

[@novampires223]

I don't think they will leave it there..

[@GlorifiedG-z9c]

Looks like fun. Need help?

[@blakefogg4509]

The only secret I have learned about using cable clamps or "saddles" is..... never saddle a dead horse... the saddles always go against the live end of the wire

[@JarheadCrayonEater]

Well, know I'm going to have to borrow your trees since you didn't tell me which ones to use.

[@thekiltedsawyer]

Mist you last night buddy!

[@ToddAdams1234]

That cable clamp is on wrong. That saddle of the clamp should have been on the “live” end of the cable. It’s to prevent unnecessary damage to your cable. Remember this little quote: never saddle a dead horse.

[@NOELTM]

It's done "correctly" as far as I can see @1:22.

[@kenbrown2808]

the great thing about using free oversized cable that you already have kicking around is that you don't care if it's 10% weaker.

[@D-B-Cooper]

Or you could get a winch on your trailer so you can load them by yourself.

[@BillHale-p9d]
