It isnt timelapse and it didnt belong in the tree felling vids:

For your enjoyment. Quick, just a minute.

Nice work. I was thinking you had somebody's kid in a tree and used negative blocking to pull a silly little tooth. now that I think about it though, my son has a few loose teeth ready for the pullin.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Cool!

 

[woodworkingboy]

Interesting approach. I think you should leave them out there. They look to make excellent tumbleweeds, which are cool.

Why use a HC, is it retired?

 

[Pelorus]

Good stuff.
Stay out of the bight!

I was wondering about that, too.

And aluminum carabiners.

I've pulled countless hedges up like that. Just grab a bundle at a time and pull.
With Dyneema you get less recoil when they pop out of the ground.

Our main winch line is Dyneema (5/16 Amsteel), we had to add some length of rigging line with the backyard ones hence the rocket shots... The ones in the front didnt do that, way less entertaining.

I dont know why Mike chose to use a Hitchclimber, I suggested using something different but I guess he uses that one for rigging... Aluminum carabiners are pretty much the norm for us, we use some of the ISC Big Dan's which I really like but I only have one personally and it was already in use for the 2nd redi...

It wasnt anything special but it was definitely a step forward in my editing and production, combining the different shots to tell a story: Objective, rigging, power up botton, winch handle, drum spinning, taut winch line, etc... I make the videos as more of a hobby than a demonstration of anything 'groundbreaking'...

Thanks for giving feedback, and of course for checking it out!

i definetly noticed the different shots to tell a story, the spinning winch drum caught my eye.

Hanging a towel or tarp on the pulling line will help reduce the recoil a bit.

Looked like they were enjoying the recoil in this case.

I was too but in tight quarters it helps.

Can you elaborate?

Or chaps if they're handy. A piece of rope flaked out on the line, perhaps, too.

Or if you don't have any of those things handy, a groundie will do in a pinch.

Ya just put your hand on the line, it will absorb some of the spring action.

A few years ago I would have taken that as a silly redneck option but in this day and age they can grow fingers in petri dishes so this is a viable option......

Yous guys

Great idea Rajan

You just hang it over the like a cloths line. It will act like a shock absorber very similar to a bow string silencer and take away some of the recoil energy.
Good advise as well Sean.
