I would like to tell you that this video is the best video that I have seen explaining the use of the spider leg set up. Thank You for posting and God Bless !!!!

Nice video, I love using spider legs, you can also use the system you show to lower two separate branches at the same time or add a second leg to create a 3D system.

Outstanding, I am not a climber, However I am a rigger, with line and knots. Painter/contractor, at an old church, just keeping me and my crew safe through lines and proper rigging, always ready to study. As always, thanks’ for taking the time to make this video! And I support this site. ~M~

Great video !! So sick of people putting videos up and not explaining anything!! Your explanation was very thorough. THANK YOU!

All these Climbing Arborist Videos are very well put together and extremely informative. The arborist orator is outstanding, technically and with regard to his instruction. Great job.

Great video brother. Thanks so much for the info. Never seen this before as I'm fairly new to tree service. I'm going to use this tomorrow on a massive oak tree.

Thank you for all your videos. I'm hoping you continue making them.

You are a pro man. Very knowledgeable and no poppycock. Thank you!

I love the sound of a 200t in the morning! Great explaination and demonstration.

Awesome video. Great demonstration.

Excellent demonstration Dan, very well shown and narrated, thank you again. Jim H.

Great working demo , thanks for sharing

Another great video done by a professional.

Thanks mate, that means a lot

I learned this from whatching your video last year. Now I use it all the time. works really well

Another good vid. I learn something every time. Thanks!

Wicked Video, cheers! This is exactly what I needed to learn for a tricky upcoming rigging job over a roof :-)

Dang Skippy that was cool as heck man

This is excellent. Much more simple than some balanced rigging devices. I think I'll attach the line to the butt and then my spider line from the tip to the line with a simple blakes hitch.

Bro this stuff's helped me loads. I appreciate your time and work

Your videos are very informative and I like the way you take the time to explain things very clearly..I will be using this technique next chance I get.

Perfectly explained like it and will use it.

Great capture of using that technique in the tree!

outstanding. great setup

such a fantastic video..your probably one of my fav youtubers

another great video .Super clear .Thanks for posting :)

Nice work, very controlled rigging.

Real nice video man. Great job narrating too. Keep em coming!

Nice job! I myself use a lot of rigging. Here in Hawaii, limbs are fragile and crack easy. Keep it up with the videos!

Awsome demo

I love you man!!! You're videos are AMAZING! I love watching them and youve honestly taught me alot! Please keep making the videos! I love them!!!

Good job on the videos,Verry informative.Keep up the good work.

Your videos are amazing. I've learned so much. Thank you for what you do!

Thanks man, yeah for the right type of removal those systems are awesome

thanks! learn something new everyday!!!

Awesome, I didn't know the Klemheist knot, but was using a Prussik knot. Both are very similar.

Awesome you guys Rock.nice video very helpful and enjoyable. Thx

Great video!!!!

Now that was fun to watch Great video.

Great video and thanks for sharing. Quick question, how much tension do you put on the line & spider leg before cutting. Do you have a rigging device to tighten it up before making the cut? You mentioned the ground guys lowering the poplar limbs with the portawrap so I'm guessing you don't have a lot of tension on it. Just asking because when I tried a limb with this technique it didn't work well at all.

thanks Dan. im wondering what you do in a situation like this where the target is same but the branches are more vertical and the anchor point is roughly the same height as the limb being removed? thanks again for all the great videos

Oh yeah, another great video...

Keep up the good work buddy

Beautiful ty vm!

very well done sir

that is a good idea ....good job bud

excellent

good vid ile be using that one

Gorgeous...

Thanks mate that's helps

One of the best vids yet. I've seen the Tenex used alot for slings as it is easy to splice - but wondered if you have ever used it as a rigging rope or is it best to stick to more expensive double braids? Keep up the good work

Good stuff

nice and easy feature to apply to youre standard rigning line! have a question thou,, using this method you need youre rigning anchor to be in another tree or make sure it has enough angle (sorry for my english!) to force it away, if youre anchor are too close the force from the but end will go towards you??? any tips or tricks or further explenation to stay safe up there!

Great !!!

Great demonstration Dan. Have since purchased and used since watching this. Were you through 2 rigging points at the top of the tree?

Class 👍

Thank god for KZfaq

What happens if one end is much heavier once the limb is cut from the tree? How does it balance and stay level?

Can you use a purcell prusik as a spider leg for more adjustment?

So, in theory, to minimize on the amount of kit being used… The same goal could be achieved with just a straight piece of rope, yeah? Let’s say 1/2” rigging line, using a 1/2” spider leg, attached with a Blake’s hitch and stopper knot, then both points attached to the limb with running bowlines?

What kind of pulleys do you use in the tops of the tree? And are you using a porta wrap to lower the limbs or some other method?

Sweet

What size straps do you use in this video mate? What are they rated to
