Controlled Freefall: Basic Arborist Rigging Techniques

On the spectrum of rigging and control, where one end is full, slow control, and the other end is freefalling the material, this concept of 'controlled freefall' exists somewhere in the middle. It involves being opportunistic on the ropes, letting them move fast when it makes sense to, slowing them down as needed. Try it out on the job, it's a fantastic technique!

For more tree climbing and rigging knowledge, check out the Bible of Tree Work, "The Fundamentals of General Tree Work - Digital Edition" by G.F. Beranek, available exclusively on my website, at https://www.educatedclimber.com/fundamentals. It's a lifetime of knowledge!
