Snatch Block! This is one way to maximize your pull on a Fiddle Block 5:1, or any means of pulling power, when you only have a single person working the rigging. I would have used the Maasdam winch but it wasn't on the truck that day, so I set it up this way.

Tree removal: A big, spready Silver Maple in an enclosed school courtyard, removed using a huge 165 Ton crane. This was a cool job. Full disclosure: I have zero training in crane work, and little experience with them, if I'm being honest. It went well, I think we will start using cranes more often... I am NOT an expert!

Rigging Over Structures With a Rope and Tag Line Sometimes the best way to learn things is to watch someone else doing it. In this video I'm trying to show how I use the combination of 2 ropes: 1 for the load (the rigging line) and 1 for control or direction (the tag line). Hopefully this makes sense and you can get some value out of it. - Patrick "We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master." - Ernest Hemingway Make sure you subscribe, and hit the bell to get notified when I upload new videos!
