Dan offers three options where a speedline can be used, but using three different techniques.
Speedlines are an amazing technique for rigging, and they have more uses than you might think. Combining gravity will guidance along a specific route can save lots of leg work, and it's frickin fun!!
Adding these skills to your arsenal of tree work techniques will open up new ways of doing specific jobs.
00:00:32 What this video is about
00:01:50 You need a lot of slings and 2 carriers
00:07:03 Use static ropes for your speedline
00:8:20 Leave holding wood when pulling round branches with speedline
00:09:20 beware of branches flicking up under tension
00:12:58 Avoid objects at the base
00:18:19 Controlled speedline
00:19:00 using a back tie

We don't get to do much speed lining in Indiana, so I appreciate the detailed breakdown of these techniques. Your content is always top notch.

One other technique I find intriguing is a vertical speedline to control logs dropping off a spar. Reg Coates often uses this to control random bouncing after they hit the ground, to prevent damage to nearby structures.

@ClimbingArborist Жыл бұрын

Yes, vertical speed lines are very useful for the one very specific scenario. It is so specific I don’t remember the last time I did one and don’t have any footage of doing one, hence not including it in the video

Just used one the other day it was funny I said use a vertical speed line an the other climber an rest the crew looked at dumb founded I’m like il take that tree whatch lol

Speedlining is so efficient, fun and safe when you get used to it! Being a groundie and speedlining is so much more thankful than dragging the branches for the same distance. Do you usually first install the speedline with a throwline or just advance it upwards as you make the corridor in canopy for the speedline? I quite often use a 3.1 mechanical advantage to tighten up the speedline if there are big heavy branches coming down.

Hey Dan how is it going, is there any static speed line you recommend (diameter/brand) to speed line chunks of wood? Thanks

Hi Dan. could you possibly explain how and where you tie the speedline to the tree? ,,,, especially when speedlining the top down. I've been on the ground speedlining butnever in tree to understand exactly where the line was especially when we lined the top down. Thanks

@personwhoexists4491 Жыл бұрын

Higher the better (accounting for strength of the tree) but at least high enough for lowest branches to clear obstacles. If you set it lower you'll need to reset it for the higher branches. For the top, put it high enough that you can take a safely sized top. Too big a top can excessively side load the tree.

@neild7971 Жыл бұрын

Running bowline around a main stem. Taking a top on a speedline is a much greater force to the tree and I often avoid it. Be cautious and know your ground crew.

@ClimbingArborist Жыл бұрын

Typically you want the speedline high up in the canopy but around something substantial that can take the sideways forces. The higher the better in terms of branches coming down and clearing things. Also need to consider getting the line back to the climber

@alotl1kevegas860 Жыл бұрын

How long is your speedline rope? I feel like a 200ft rope would be to short. 300ft seems to make the most sense to me. Am I correct?

@neild7971 Жыл бұрын

200 gets the piece down here in Canada 99% of the time, if you are really stretching the angle out you can add a rope as long as the knot is not short of the stop zone. sometimes if it is short landing zone I might actually use a knot to halt pieces(situations with low enough forces).

@ClimbingArborist Жыл бұрын

200ft is usually good if you are anchoring at the top. Also depends on how far you are trying to send the branches. We usually use 200ft, but also have a crazy long length of rope that we bought for one particular job but never used since

@ClimbingArborist Жыл бұрын

Like Neil D said, you can throwline in and base tie if it makes more sense to on a specific tree.
