Good job brother!!! Impressive solo rigging! Cheers!

[@ArcaneArborWolfe]

Cheers bro! Look forward to your next video. Peace!

[@metaspencer]

as usual interesting to see your "hang them and drop them" approach. good stuff man

[@ArcaneArborWolfe]

Cheers bro! I wish I had more space to setup the triangle of death, but the good old hang & control drop method worked well.

[@metaspencer]

@@ArcaneArborWolfe Yeah that was a tight space for sure ... I like that you showed the wheel barrows and clean up at the end: a key part of a job like that and a ton of work. good stuff

[@ArcaneArborWolfe]

@@metaspencer Appreciate the feed back. You understand the sufferfest of being a solo operator, some days are great and others can be a bit too hectic. Look forward to your next video!

[@richardhollis2530]

@@ArcaneArborWolfetriangle of death? Is that solo rigging with one end tied off then through a crab/ring/pulley/porta wrap and hold it while cutting or tied off to stub/branch? I’ve never tried the method in the video on my own but I like it

[@richardhollis2530]

@@ArcaneArborWolfemore questions! Do you do short days because it gets so dam hot? And do you know of any laws preventing you from climbing and cutting on your own or is it an owner, operator thing where the risk is up to you? I’ve done quite often in uk and think there is laws against it just might be difficult to claim if I hurt myself

[@jessicawashburn9360]

Thanks for the video on solo rigging, great job. Only issue I have is the awful music. More talking and ambient noise would be nicer.

Nice job I will have to look for the x sleeves, my forearms always seem to take a beating climbing honey locust.

[@ArcaneArborWolfe]

Cheers mate! The climbing top I use is 2XU compression top.

[@ianbarnett6027]

Really like your videos. I noticed at the 9:56 sec mark you passed your main climbing line twice thru the carabiner. First time I have seen this. Is there a reason why you do this. Thanks.

[@ArcaneArborWolfe]

Hey mate, I was waiting for someone to ask that question. Back in the day I was doing a lot of competition climbing and got to National level and was hoping to get in to the world tree climbing competition level, at the time one of the contract climbers / ranked number one in Australia did a tree surgery video and I saw him do it and started using it to prevent the karabiner being side loaded against the stem when I could avoid it. I hope this make sense. Cheers for the comment!

[@ianbarnett6027]

@@ArcaneArborWolfe Fantastic great tip. Thanks.

[@PAULWILLIAMS-sx2cg]

seems like the Stihl elec saw has more rpm control and gives a finer cut than my echo elect saw, its very aggressive 3/8 chain and its either full rpm or nothing.

[@ArcaneArborWolfe]

The MSA 220 T has been great so far. My petrol top handles never come out anymore. The MSA 161 T is great for fine pruning with a 10" bar. I will check out the Echo....

Hey Dude a lot of work in that tree. I reckon day three was 2 long necks and four Kitkats 👊 Sign writing looks mint. You need to take me on 1-2 days a week, I want to learn new shit 🙈 and take the pressure off your body Sono. Climb safe Old Man Eflow ⚒️

[@ArcaneArborWolfe]

Hey old school legend! Hope you enjoyed the builder boy barrow action in the video. Cheers mate, the logo looks good on the modern ute. We should do a video together one day when the weather starts to warm up. Thanks for watching. Lone Wolfe!

[@ArcaneArborWolfe]

Haha, there was a international bottle shop up the road from the job, so I grabbed a roadie after each day. I went to the local cafe and grabbed some home baked goods to keep me going.
