Excellent video Patrick! The voice-over format, with graphics, made everything crystal clear. I am sooooo glad you introduced your fellow workers to the zeppelin bend--it was the perfect knot for that application. Please continue with these high quality videos.

I always try to remember to open my face cut right up on a peg, i’ve had/seen a couple kick off to the side when the hinge closes too soon. And if it’s a peg chances are you’ve dismantled it because it is close to structures, not the spot for one to creak over 20degrees off the lay. I know you took other precautions, side cuts and thin hinge, but a wide open face is my choice. thanks for all the vids! Great job

Haha! I just got done telling my more experienced pallet workers to watch out for the inexperienced...they’ll make all kinds of mistakes out the gate being in the hurry and they just don’t see it...can’t speak against these fellas for lack of initiative though! Good job for noticing and for teaching, and them for hearing you out. I think y’all made a fine team today!

Thanks Patrick. I’m really enjoying the new format. Keep them coming please. 🇨🇦👍🏼

The zeppelin bend is my favorite for joining 2 ropes. I have noticed however, different diameter ropes can make it more difficult to untie after heavy pulls with vehicles. Also I used to have issues with joining 2 3/4in stable braid ropes together, one very old and worn and the other almost new. The old rope would almost weld itself to the other and would be a bear to undo but we're talking about pulling with vehicles. Still my go to for joining ropes. The other option I use is a bowline on a bite on each rope and 2 clevis shackles (bend radius) to join them. Love this channel Patrik I have learned quite a lot, keep up the good work sir!

Zepplin bend - WTF! Dude, you are my new hero! I stumbled on your channel looking for truckers hitch instructions for a friend. This channel ROCKS!!!

I miss this style of content. Hope to see more sometime. Thanks as always; very valuable.

The new commentary format is such a great help for us learners. Tree work is very methodical and warrants the attention to detail that you provide. Many thanks, and be safe.

Well done! Thanks for sharing your techniques! I appreciate the detail.

Ill give it to ya for patience. That man sounds like he keeps busy knowing it all and just cannot handle someone elses opinions. Good luck on that deal man. Springtime is comin

Awesome!

Great video. This is how I teach in this scenario too. Spot on.

Good Work!!

Great video!

Wow... way cool

Even though I cut my first tree 45 years ago I'm learning some great tips from your videos! I find myself pausing a lot to really understand what you are doing. Like cutting the angle cut first, in this video. Matching up the angle cut to a flat cut can be really tricky, I agree! Also, I already watched your side cut video and it made perfect sense, can't wait to try it on a big guy! I'm a new subscriber and I'm so glad I found your channel!

Nice job Patrick....result.

Awesome video, very clear instruction and really appreciate all the work you put into these.

Nice. Good strategy plus structured method plus careful application equals a safe and successful outcome. Really informative. Thanks for sharing.

Watching u work makes me want to change my profession.

수고하셨어요. 잘보았습니다. 최고입니다. 화이팅

Wicked job man as always!

Another excellent video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Zeppelin bend...Thanks! Just practiced it a couple dozen times so I'll remember how to tie it when needed.

Great one, Patrick. I look forward to the side-cut video. I've definitely used it on tops when side-peeling could be a danger by potentially pulling on my lanyard and/or choked-off climb line, but this is actually the first time hearing about potential for influencing the direction of the piece. I'd never considered that before.

Zepplin Bend...Yes! I was just gonna type that suggestion then you used it. Well done!

Keep these up please!! Very very helpful

Thank you for sharing it is much appreciated from me great job!

Awesome job. Love the video. Stay safe!

Good save on that knot! My boss would have torn me a new one. Started my apprenticeship last year, and your vids have been a lot of help. Keep em comin.

Dude, Zeppelin bend! Can’t wait to use that one!

Name well deserved!!! “Educated” you sir are a pleasure to watch.. I’ve yet seen a video in which l haven’t enjoyed and learned something from.. THANK YOU!!

Heck yea I appreciate the tips I learned a few things I love how much detail you put in the vidioe

Great Fell! Great stuff as always. Keep up the good work!

Great training video with great tips and a new knot for me to practice. Always learning from you. Thanks man.

Great job I like that zeppelin knot. As always Cut it deep

Great man. Sweeet video. Well done. ThanksEd. Climber

Love it Patrick, nice work. If I can teach guys one knot its the bowline and often i will tie ropes together with two bowlines. Strong as the termination and simple! Be Well

Good video, Patrick ! I’ll use that knot some day. Thanks. The Tallahassee Canuck, Woody.

Nice work. You can always use your ring sling with your pulley. Just pass the tail through the ring to choke and tie an appropriate attachment.

Mighty stuff Pat, 👍 Strange the way sub contract work differs in Canada. Here we bring all our own gear and I definitely prefer it that way. I know my saws are tuned properly, are maintained and have sharp chains. One of my pet hates is people milling around the butt of a tree when I'm in the middle of falling it. I prefer to have one knowledgeable groundsman who knows what he's about rather than a shower of 'know it alls'. Don't be afraid to scribe your back cuts, it saves time and makes one more accurate.

I appreciate the way you explain, good for a beginner like me! 😉

That low jet needle needs an 1/8 turn out too, erratic idle and the poor throttle response are indicators for a lean condition if it bugs ya and you have to run it much.

Awesome job Brother! Loved the video I learned from it.👍 zeppelin bend is good stuff. 👍 Keep em coming and climb safe Brother. GOD Bless. 🙏😇

Thanks for all of the great video's and information. I like how you connect the ring with the daisy hitch and when rigging you use that know as well. I will have to watch a little more closely and see how you do that. Seems alot faster to untie than a Bow line.

Awesome knot man, I’ve never heard of the zeplin knot, thanks for showing that I’ve wondered before what is actually the best knot for big pulls with a lot of weight I’ve never had to join rope on a big pull, thanks for the info man

Good info man. I worked with a guy, that every time he saw me cut the angle cut (of a notch) first, would give me a lecture. I always thought that cutting the angle cut first was more precise. It just intuitively made more since to me. LOL

I like to put a wedge that’s square in my face cut to point direction. Then walk out and check from the Front. Hope that makes sense. Anything square will work.

Good to know keep the video coming what that a 661 with rape around bar NICE 😎 keep climbing and be safe

Excellent video. huge weight to that trunk. Great ideas and knots 69 zeppelin, nice.

Very nice. Format is definitely bringing more and better information to the presentation. All you need now is a full time camera truck and crew. Lol. Seriously though very good stuff! Very good! Time to develop a learning series?

Love your work and and videos! they help a lot with understanding concepts like this. Just wondering your thoughts to using this method vs a single rope with a alpine butterfly or something as a 3-1? Or a block and tackle 5-1 setup?

I'm curious why the load rope goes through the ring pulley instead of securing it through the ring and running the pull rope around the outside? Is the friction still the same?

I have always used two stationary Bowline knots never have noticed a problem course I couldn’t remember how to to tie the Zepplin

Great job! I'm a retiree with a new profession. Do you have any starter videos?

Great vid thanks I appreciate all the content it must be tough trying to make a buck and put out videos to

That's just how I do it too we must be good hay mate

Do you worry about smashing your ring/block when the peg hits the ground, when using this technique?

Wouldn’t you run the risk of smashing your $$$pulley/block when the tree hits the ground???

Man. What's wrong with a sheet bend?

"Tight spot". 🤐

All rope is doing is pulling tree over, what gives you direccion is your face notch,.
