Nope. The last pick gets taken as serious as all the ones before it. The one thing I remind everyone of is that when things go bad using a crane, they go real bad.

Hey Rich, ever use thé glad hands or “friendship” the slings….
The pic shows the slings overlapping and binding…. the way I mentioned is the sling comes down from hook and goes through other slings shackle around wood to other sling directly…. Like a barrel pick…. The same sling doesn’t attach to itself but rather the other sling…. Just 2 cents from way over here. Cranes are such fun and huge responsibility. Good job!
Cory…. The stumps are being ground…. Smooth pasture. They get up to 160’

I've heard that called a "bridle" for some reason.

I’ve heard that called “the secret handshake”. I’ve never had the need. I’ve got one set of slings longer than what I used on the last pick. If I need better sling angles after those are out I just shackle a 16’ to each leg.Hey Rich, ever use thé glad hands or “friendship” the slings….

It saves you a half wrap around the piece being rigged. My 24’ slings have got around everything I’ve had to deal with

Not sure. In theory it should.

Can you provide a picture of this technique? I know I saw it in a rigging handbook long ago but I can’t remember how to do it.Hey Rich, ever use thé glad hands or “friendship” the slings….

Hi Eric,
Grab each forearm with the other hand. Viola.

Yo even though it's been described nicely above, I had to go out to my workbench and use a couple pieces of cord with mini biners serving as shackles and try to choke a water bottle as the log to try understand it. It took me at least 5 min to figure it out but I think I got it. Seems quick and easy and you only have to hook up one screw shackle (if that is what you are using) instead of two
