Speedlining

TREEMONKEY

I use a speedline when ever it is useful I just taught my new business partner on a large spruce attaching the speedline above a group of branches use a bunch of slings for knotless rigging and will do 4-10 branches(depending on size and minimal shock load) at the same time into 1 carabiner in a pully attatched to the speedline. I will get some of my pics together and try to figure out how to make them smaller.

Treemonkey,

open your pictures in normal Microsoft Paint... Click the "image" pull down menu, and click "stretch / skew"

That'll let you size down your pictures. I usually do 30%/30% for most things. Keep the ratio the same though! Then just resave as a jpeg and you're done.

Therrin thanks

Here are some speedline pics. The top of the Oak leans over the power lines but at least 40 feet clearence. This is not me but my business partner.

Nice pics Treemonkey!

I'll have to get one of my groundies to take some pics next time I set one up. They're pretty convenient in some situations.

Yeah, cool.

They seem quite tall and thin for oaks though, I thought they were large spreading trees ... maybe those are forest thin ones?

i don't know what trees are in his area but that tree grows like the sand live oaks we got down here.They usually have one main leader and grow more like a pine than an oak.

Ekka your right they do usually grow out more it was a dense bush before the house was built their. That was a red oak i think; the job was early july. In this area we also have white and black oaks. The poplars in the back yard we took down where 120ft (approx 45 meters) not a single branch until 90ft, 30 meters.
