English Trucker's Hitch: Simple Mechanical Advantage This was the peg from a few weeks ago, the big Cottonwood from "Climbing a Scary Dead Tree". I have covered this technique multiple times in the past, but this is something that I still use all the time, and I know there's lots of people who have never seen it. This is the simplest form of mechanical advantage that I know of. It's great for pulling pegs and tops over. Give it a try!

Real Tree Work Vol. 3: Tight Quarters | Arborist Climbing and Rigging Adventures Wait for it....... Lion King ending!! This is footage from September 2017. Wasn't sure what to do with it, so I sat on it for 2 years. This was a super tight spot for this Hemlock, growing up between 2 houses. Didn't have the budget for a crane, so I climbed it and pieced it all down. I rigged about half the branches, and threw the rest. I threw all the wood using snap cuts, because if I had negative rigged it, one bad bounce would have hit a house on either side. We put plywood down against the houses on both sides, and left a nest of branches for the pieces of wood to land on. It went really well. Hope you like it. Comment below, let me know what you think!
