That was a beautiful run. Man on the ropes knows what he's doing!

Started climbing 2 weeks ago I have to say its not as bad as I thought it would be. Climbers I work with said I'm a natural....i've been doing bucket work for 4 years. I must say all your videos I have watched have helped get me to where I am today ! Thank you for the educational videos !!!

Love that daisy chain rigging knot 👊😎

Thanks for the new video Patrick. I appreciate rigging videos. Can't get enough of it...

I missed your videos. Thanks Patrick!

Your videos are the best. Super helpful! Thank you for putting the time into making these so educational.

For letting it run It would be great to see some perspective from the groundie and learn how to determine the number of wraps to take based on the size of the piece and how that relates to the diameter of rope and port-a-wrap etc. Or other systems that allow for soft catches of large sections. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Ive been climbing over 12 years now , 10 of them working for myself. Country clubs , condo associations , retired judges and law enforcement on my client list. It affords me the opportunity to really discount those jobs for people who cant afford tree care even though they have a huge hanger or widow maker over there homes. But seeing this video makes me wish I could climb with such an awesome crew backing me up once in awhile. Be safe out there brothers !

Love your videos dude im 19 and i want to learn to climb and do these cools knots you do, watching your videos has helped me alot slowly but surely im learning with time and practice,👌🏻

The man know how to tie his knots. Fascinating!

Nice to watch someone else work for a change. Good job Patrick

I'll sit there on the ground and run ropes all day. You'll never catch me up in the tree though! Lol great work.

Recently helped with some of this stuff as a ground guy. No climber, just a couple guys and a bucket (very low risk removal, no structures, just had to protect ground from damage). Watching the way your ground guys move is amazing. I WISH I had that as a ground guy. Awesome climbing and very informational. Thank you!

That intro run was smooth as butter

Excellent work, sir and great groundsman too.💯

Great job

Hats off brother! 👏

Daisy chain hitch ✊🏻✊🏻… good set up bub be safe out there

Pulled that saw out just in time boy! 😆 nothing nicer than working with a high tie in 👍👍

Excellent travail ''.. 👌🇨🇵

Nice work, good job.

Very nice job👏👏👏🌳

Nice crew

You sure make it look easy. This is why you leave tree work to the pros folks.

Brilliant video! enjoyed it :D

Nice video Patrick

How do you aim for the wood, placement of the face cut right. I know keeping your wrap at the base to the side of where you drop is good so you don’t smack your rigging rope, but do you just try to aim a face cut to the spar (depending on lean)

Nice work 👍

Really fine ground crew to not hit that fence. I was wondering what you'd do when you got closer, did you rig off the remaining higher stem to keep it away from the fence?

OTTIMO lavoro 👍👍👍

When you rig the lead pieces around 6:30 what is the knot you tie? I usually do a half hitch with a running bouline

Hi Patrick, did you switch rigging ropes on this tree, and why? Also what is the size of your most commonly used rigging rope. Thanks for the great content.

Wow I love the video, far superior to some of this type of content. I was wondering what chainsaw you use I noticed it was electric.

What kind of climbers are those? It looks like you have the Kiwi ascender on the right foot. I am curious as to how it performs and holds up. And do you still use it? Info is scarce out there. I have big feet; so having an ascender on my boot is not a simple matter. I can't even find arborist boots that fit me. So I use my old Red Wings.

Patrick, been watching your videos for a long time. Great work as always. What is that new climbing line?

Im not very good at judging the weight so i always use my 5/8 bull rope and a pulley , always wondered when that 5/8 rope should be the smaller righing line i got , sometimes im ridiculously to small , but i learned smaller is safer ( but slower)

anther wonderful video! im sorry if this has already been asked i tried looking and didnt see it. can you please tell me what size who makes it and whats its name of the rope were you using to rig? the orange and the white rope .

good fckn work brotha! one thing ive learnd is no need for extra half hitch when rigging evn on logs. jus do a running bowline and u all good. take it or leave it for what its worth but u should def experiment with. only time i use the extra half hitch is when doin short logs....idk if really helps bit makes me feel a lil bettr if i can fit it in. job well dun friend😃

Would a climber be able to substitute a snatch block &have similar results?

I would urge extra caution on a job like this if the diameter of the tree is larger. When you 'butt rig' a hollow tree, the rigged piece can bang on the trunk and break it, sending you on your last ride on this earth, unless you count the hearse ride.

Your good!

Was there a lean on that stem towards direction of gob/face cut? Noticed shallow, short cuts and the wood moved away with no encouragement. Just curious. Cheers pat

That's crazy !!

After the top on your negative rigging are you Tying half hitch to reduce the pressure and the second knotand also the second knot was that also another half hitch followed by a chain sinnet?

What kind of flip line lanyard is that? I see a bunch climbers with that exact one but can’t find it anywhere

Curious why not use those red and black pullies for rigging ?

What is the ring called that you got the rope running through was using a snatch block but my rope got hung in it today definitely need one of those

That little electric saw is RIPPING I'd much rather use that than my 009 stihl lol

What was that orange and yellow friction saver?

Do you have a video where you show how to use the rings?

Noob question: I see that you’re daisy chaining your rope as a final tie off to the chunk your felling. What’s the difference daisy chaining and tying a running bowline?

What is the name of that knot to tie the trunks?

What type of rope is that orange one?

Hey Patrick, that small blur ultra sling with thimble eye your using..can you tell me where you found that one? I tried Treestuff and they don’t have one that small

So, does that lower redirect that the orange rope 1st goes through just add friction? Or does the rig rope coming off the portawrap have to shoot straight up 1st b4 going where it needs to go? TIA

Hello I am from India sir can you tell me the size of the rope you are using and its company

Rope man is on point!

Whyyyy the electric topper saw😂

Are you clipping a carabiner to the saw handle?

Like a pro

Question from a guy that's new to rigging rings: isn't the bend radius too severe on a single ring for negative rigging?

I like to keep that slip knot in the ring while I’m doing my half hitch and running bow….. that way your not fighting the weight/gravity of your rig line while tieing.

Wow man. That looks like fun. Just curious, do you guys calculate the breaking strength of that limb that you are trusting to lower the falling limb and to keep you alive as well? From an uneducated perspective like mine, it seems that stressing that limb like that was way too risky. Will you please share an educated climber’s perspective on this? Thank you.

How many wraps for that last drop?

🤘

Alright mate, been having a debate over Instagram with some other arbs. In the uk we're taught to have our mainline and flip/secondary below our rigging assembles, in a negative rigging scenario. Now i know what youre doing in this video is different, but what are you thoughts?

Brasil.. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

What orange rigging rope is that?

How do you like that saw?

A hydraulic lift bucket is the safest way to go and if you can't reach the tall places customize a electric pole saw to reach them.you can always get a 150 foot extension cord for power. After that then you move up to what the big guys have...a crane that parks in the street and can reach anything

That will make an old man out of ya in short order

Fast hands on the cuts. Kinda freaked me out at 22seconds when you went to grab the stub while at the same time whipping the saw out of the cut. Maybe it’s just the view through the lens?

How come the camera creates an illusion of higher altitudes? Hell, I've been skydiving since 1993 and nothing is high anymore. One has to have 200 jumps to be recognized as skilled enough to wear a GoPro.....

What sort of height is this tree? Camera is deceiving

Can you tell me what brand/dia your orange rigging rope is?

First comment that was smooth

Patrick I am sending a client your from the state they have property there, I told them to call you

I hope this guy gets paid really well

I was a tree surje

Whoever made that sticker spelled ghey wrong

The way he places the thumb finger on chainsaw is dangerous in case of a kickback..

Q fello

you climbers today just have no idea of rigging and shock loads , sure run heads , but if you rigging a 30-40 ft limb and turning it 90 or more degrees you need to hold up the load until all the forces are over , rigging down logs like you just did here is totally wrong , you should be using Spectra rope at 14 -16 mil that has no stretch , the log should fall just off the cut , ( it fall one ft ) and only doubles in weight at one ft , but you have your log rigs dropping over 4 ft increasing a massive load on the rope which in time will break , the climber should never ever rely on the rope man to get the load away from him , he should have already created his own exit if things go badly , this endless videos today showing rigs being dropped at the fastest rate to the ground is just Stupid to watch .
