I love the double whip tackle idea. Can use slings and carabiners to clip the piece to the rigging line. Send the piece and just until it off of the stem to pull your rope of of the sling that’s on the ground. Sounds like another selling feature to a speed line kit

All great ideas. My only thought about splicing a small hole is that the “cinching” effect could be lost depending on stem size/pocket size of the ultra. Unless I’m just not creative enough to picture these ideas well enough 🤪😅 on the topic of solo rigging, when the limb hits the ground how do...

Seems like a handy little tool when working in neighboring trees. Did 3 pines all within 20ft of eachother. Would have saved me from having to spur up the other stems individually

How do you use the grapnel for changing tie in points in the tree?

My current bag the top is so narrow that it’s a pain to get anything in or out and I would like to stop fighting with all the tails of ultra slings trying to clip them on my harness. I liked the ditty bag for its wide top access and not having to Velcro/magnet it apart. That would be a concern...

My boss is very safety minded. It was my first day and the guy that got me the rope didn’t know any better but since it was my first day I wasn’t comfortable with give me better or I’m not doing it. Now that I’m the full time climber I refuse to use that rope on a job. We keep it in the bucket...

Very nice, my first day with the new company they had me in a huge oak tree and the rigging line they sent up was the most glazed and hard true blue line I’ve ever seen. Was almost scared to rig with it, dropped some 800lb pieces of oak with it and it held up. We have a different rope now that I...

So would most of your solo rigging be done in a static form? And I would assume your final cuts would always be done one handed or are there some tricks to that?

How long does a rope normally last you

I need to gain some knowledge/technique on self rigging. Don’t have to do it all the time since I work for a company that normally has 2-4 guys on the ground while I’m climbing. When it’s only two guys and I’m getting in the thick of the tree where I can drop a bunch at once. There’s been more...

Why would you want to bring the portawrap aloft? Do you do a lot of solo jobs?

Aerial portawrap seems like a neat idea, would still have to set up an anchor point right? Do you use a smaller portawrap?

Creating friction at the anchor point will lower the amount of force at the anchor point so that is helpful depending on the tree. I’ve dropped up to 400-500lb pieces with a rope going through all three eyes and normally a rigged piece around here never gets any heavier. I also like being able...

Treesmith I have used it. My old boss had a rope logic one spliced with a 5/8 ultra sling. Didn’t get to use it as much as I wanted but began to appreciate its advantages in our low growing obstacle filled trees

Had to go back and read Marc’s post when I was awake but that is a really smart idea. Ordered the TT and waiting on Wesspur to restock 5/8tenex tec so I can order 100ft of it and make the ultrasling. Was thinking about using 1/2in tec. Most of my rigging is done in that size category.

Most of my work the rigging point gets moved ALOT. Even if I was just spurring up some pine trees, both flip line and climbing line being flipped (in a girth configuration Ofcourse). I wouldn’t have to set anchor point, thread rope through it tie it on to stem(s) drop stems. Wait on rope to...

Lxskllr, that is exactly where my mind was going. beergeek and Marc-Antoine, yes to both of you Ruel thank you for the review about the shackle. I liked the idea of that one cause it would be easier than screwing one open and close every time I move it Derrick, your creativity makes it hard...

Hey all, i just purchased a triple thimble and will be splicing an ultrasling on it. The only thing I don’t like about this system (used it before) is that you have to take it all apart every time you go to move it. My idea was to get a slic pin 5/8 shackle (Wesspur has one by cmi) and use that...
