|  Rigging big Pines
Hi. I'm new to this forum so go easy. I posted this vid on a couple other forums and got nice feedback. A couple of snow damaged Pines we rigged down a month or so back http://www.youtube.com/user/MrMingthemercyless#p/a/u/0/uapE3Q-cdmc |

Nice work Sometime I wish we had height like that to work with. Don't get many opportunities to zip line in town here, trees aren't tall enough for it to work well enough to miss obstacles. RM |

Nice video and work, all smooth. I have a chuckle at those glass atrium sun room things everyone has.

This one - 2 phase are 2 un-insulated cables, usually feeding a house. I think its 230v, enough for a whack. And yeah, Defenders are good trucks for tree work, 4x4, good carring and towing too. Thanks for the positive comments. Mat | |

...yeah found it: Three-wire, 120/240 volt single phase power used in the United States and Canada is sometimes incorrectly called "two-phase". The proper term is split phase or 3-wire single-phase. The two live outputs of a 3-wire single phase transformer secondary winding are properly called "legs". wiki it |

Great work !!! Only done zip lining twice in my career, so was going what here doing there ? wheres that rope going ? The branch you tip zip line tied and had the but held with a strop going to a biner, then a white rope ? there appears to be two ropes going to the Block ? Or was it a big bowline loop going to the biner ? It is around 1.20. If so then why not just tie the rope straight to the branch with the biner ? No biggie I've probably missed something  |
