Tree Work: Basics of Negative Rigging!

[@elifreeman7870]

Awesome video. Especially for the basics.

[@Billster1955]

Thanks for also referring to it as butt checking. A friend of mine used that term, and I had no idea what he was talking about. I'm old, but I've only been in the tree business 4 yesrs and have only heard it called negative rigging. Great video.

I'm just a hobbyist but I stayed tied in to a piece I made a face cut on once. I looked up and thought about it, and had such anxiety that I will never do it again lol.

@7:20 I'm glad you clarified TDS on today of all days! I hadn't had my coffee yet 😄

[@alexkattenhorn6422]

Nice vid. I know there’s not loads of space in negative rigging but in the uk we’re generally taught on spar work to keep our climbing rope slightly lower than our lanyard. Because in the event something goes wrong and you accidentally cut your lanyard. You’ll still be roped in and a quick descent will be easier if you’re injured or something.

Love the video Abdon!!!

[@scottst.vincent6964]

Great advice. You're like a swiss army knife!

[@BartlettArboristSupply]

😂 That's a good one!

[@mreggbird]

Love his style XD

[@DaxMarshall]

I want to see a tutorial on catching it with rigging ring tied ti the block. I’ve seen online ppl speedlining blocks straight down the base but have never seen it in person. Also. Would love to see some span rigging methods for tops and blocks over an obstacle.

[@BartlettArboristSupply]

Great suggestions!

[@shaun8256]

That was one sketchy notch!

[@BartlettArboristSupply]

Please elaborate, what was sketchy about it?

[@shaun8256]

@@BartlettArboristSupply from the angle I got you had cut your flat cut about three inches above your angle cut. All be it you were only taking a small piece for a climbing and rigging demo, if that top had any wieght to it, it probably would have split.

[@mallrdgrn6058]

I like the video but it doesn't seem like you have done any climbing in the Pacific Northwest. You look like you are up 30 feet. There will not be much reaction in a spar that short. Being 100 feet up in a Doug Fir negative rigged will be a wild ride if the groundie does not "let it run."

[@BartlettArboristSupply]

This is meant to be an informational video about negative rigging, on a non-production job site. We worked the tree down to a height where our camera operator could manage to shoot a quality video and seeing as we're in Michigan, you could say we haven't traveled to the PNW. Even at 30 feet one could experience a wild ride (I know from experience), just depends on your rope handler and how big the piece is. There is a plethora of variables when it comes to rigging and we cannot cover every situation, we can only do our best to take that educated guess.

This guy is impossible to listen to

[@BartlettArboristSupply]

Aaaand yet.....there you are😏

[@zanzan3244]

@BartlettArboristSupply I am interested in the topic and was hoping for a more concise, eloquent and professional delivery. Still, thanks for making the video and putting it out. As long as comment on this video are enabled, I think negative constructive comments should always be welcome.

I’ve been running a chainsaw at ground level since 1981, and it’s great to see what happens higher up. You did a superb job of demonstrating rigging and climbing! The camera guy and the ground man completed the performance-100 percent.
