Default Re: rigging in the tree

Well well well, I haven't been reading this thread and did just now.

Very spirited I must say.

I've done my share of all types of jobs, cranes, buckets, as a groundy, rope bloke, brush hauler, stump grinding guy etc.

The fastest way is to fell the tree whole, second fastest to fell it in pieces, 3rd fastest is bomb out big sections and then there's rigging. For the exercise cranes are not in here coz they help but are a type of rigging.

Recently elsewhere I've been told this

So, I suppose if your partner does work with you then you are inadequate and if you dont own a chipper then you are a cowboy.

Funny how people see the world, I have a miniloader which grinds stumps, drags brush and hauls log as well as pulling on trees so I might be some new hybrid tree hack/cowboy/arborist thing?

Anyway, everyone watch your assumptions.
