Welcome to Strider Tree Gear.
today, I've got another advanced rigging technique for you guys.
It's called span rigging sometimes tip tie, butt tie something to that effect.
We're not actually rigging between in one line in the middle.
We're going to tip tie on to a remote point
and we're going to butt tie on the tree that I'm in so that we can swing branches
and pull them against the lean using our GRCS
and then catch them as they're swinging away from me
to keep it all nice and controlled where it takes some big old pieces.
And it's a really great, efficient way to do some technical rigging.
So here you go.
Hope you enjoy.
So this one got a little hanger in here,
and so I put a wrap on it, but I'm going to tip tie it
over to this remote tie in point over here and they're going to put
a bunch of tension on the GRCS but I've also got it butt tied here
the little pointer at home and put a couple of wraps on
so that what they're gonna do is they're going to pull it.
Well, make sure it follows clear this pine tree
and it's going to swing down
over there, and the buttons should stay relatively close to me ,
which would be good.
And the tip or end up over there, hopefully
above the height of that shed.
I think we should have enough there to make that happen, but we'll see.
But even if it's not above the height of the shed,
it shouldn't
reach that far because the tip of the butt will still be attached.
So that's why we're doing a tip and a butt tie.
Crank away.
Here we are moving this way.
Very nice. Good.
So I'm going to face this one almost directly at that point.
But I'm expecting because of the lean being this way.
We expecting it to break early and kind of goes that way.
But if it breaks and swings, that's pretty much OK too.
Sorry to interrupt, but if you enjoy my content in this channel
and you look at diving deeper into tree work, check out Stridertrees.com
I've got a course for the beginner
who's just looking at getting into the trees for the first time.
And I've also got a series that's more tilted towards folks
who are already doing residential tree work.
It's going to have the safety trainings and the skill trainings
starting at new hire to take someone right off the street,
make them an apprentice,
teach them the more advanced skills all the way to a foreman.
And if that's something you'd be interested in, you can leave your
email address there on the website and I'll let you guys know first thing
when that's available.
Also, you can schedule to have me come out to your job site
and be a contract climber and an instructor, and combine that time
to offer you the best value to upgrade your skills with your crew on your job.
So you can do that.
You can schedule that on my website as well at Stridertrees.com .
Now back to the goods.
All right, here we go.
So we've got here is a big top,
and I'm watching out for my rope in this branch interference.
And obviously the propane tank in the house, and the hot tub
and all this stuff, that's all underneath it.
So you can see what I did is I strung up a bunch of slings
to all the hangers that are kind of loose, and I tied them to our main tie in point
and we've got one line going back to our high tip tie.
And we've got a second line going over to the ditch, which
between the two of those, we should be able to really evenly stand
this thing up directly against the lean and and pull it over and land it in there.
I've still got a butt tie as well, so once it pops free,
it should just kind of hang nicely between us.
That's the idea.
So I've got my ropes out of the way,
got my butt tie right here,
a couple of wraps on it.
We've got a pull line going that way.
And I think we're set.
Here we go. And.
