How to rig sections of trunk onto itself | Arborist Rigging techniques

This is a demonstration of how to rig down sections of tree trunk by tying a rigging block onto the trunk just below the section to be removed.

I work in technology and watched my neighbor have a tree removed. Now I’m super into tree trimming. Never thought I’d be watching these kinds of videos.

This is so awesome I'm not even into all that but I imagined there's so much that goes into it technically and safety wise. Thanks for this very great and educational content.

Thanks for posting your videos! I really appreciate how you take the time to explain step by step!

Your a good educater! I appreciate your time, as a fellow climber!

I normally don't like watching videos, but when I do, I prefer arborist videos! Stay safe my friend!

Your videos are my favorites for learning.
I'm a new climber.

Shout out for the groundsman, never underestimate the trust you put into your buddy.
Great vid, we salute you.

Cool video. Thanks for the tips. I've filmed a few different arborist on our channel. One arborist climbed/rigged and cut a 200 ft tree. The other used a winch from the ground to fell the tree. The climber had no way of felling the tree without damaging the concrete picnic benches. Sure takes a lot of skill to do this method.

It’s funny watching someone else do it. So much of that is automatic now, it’s hard to explain to someone who hasn’t done it.
Thanks to your camera work, now I can show.

I've never performed this before but after watching it I sure would like to introduce this method into my everyday experience. Seems very efficient

I love the way you showed the half hitch into the running Bowline stating around 2:20 . I watched that 10 x or more! pointing out how to know distanced and not crush feet was also a great tip lol! great Vijayo my

Super informative. THANKS. I'm never doing this, but how do you prepare for trunk vibration ? Cut small enough pieces they don't swing wide ?

great camera work. ?

Excellent training video! Thank you for sharing. Very well done and nice safe methodical technique mate

I have my rigging training next week. Not come across many arborists that bother to get this qualification. I’m looking forward to it. I do like a technical dismantle.

Nice explanation. If you were working with larger sections, I would recommend placing the back at least an inch above the horizontal notch cut. Otherwise, the wood hinge cannot help you control the direction as well and it can roll back on you. That is if the section was larger. As it is it is small enough to be easily controlled by hand. Thank you for a nice job.
