Someone posted the vid of it a while back.
Not sure what happened but there is a video out there of him doing a limb removal... and apparently its his own. Ended up with a huge 10 inch gash down the back of his leg from a saw.

No, I mentioned the run of the mill tree work. Our motto here at Incognito Tree is " Murph them all and let the homeowner clean up the mess".

We assisted in getting him out of tree,harness and to get the bleeding stopped with my belt. Surprisingly enough when this happend we were less than a block away taking out stumps. His ground guys came running over to get us. It would be a long story for right now but later on after we are done with the local parades i might be able to elaborate.

I called that some time ago. In fact I might had even said that one day you would have to go get him out of a tree and stop the bleeding.

Is that an attempt at humour?
I never joined in all the crap that went on between AA and a lot of the regulars here....seemed well over the top that what I did read. But after seeing that video, he's just in a whole different world....not so much the fact that he got cut, but the video itself is fukcn bizzare!

I wanted a Porty to slide into Reese receivers , so I made my own and had it powder coated. It works on the tree like regular, or pinned into a receiver for friction lowering or anchor point for a speed-line. I made a smaller plain one also. They are made of steel. View attachment 302453

Hard to tell how good your weld is when you grind half of it off. I won't be placing an order anytime soon.

I don't blame you there Blake, but these are one-off custom and not for sale. They work too well.

Client took these before & after pics for me.
Had to use winch to retrieve the miniskid and chipper. Hill was a tad steep, with wet grass growing on clay.

I am glad you are testing it and not me !
Does the round porty tube fit into the square receiver or are both parts butted ? There must be a good amount of welds in there to fill in the mismatch between the two.
I never really like the idea of a rigid truck mount anyway. I girth hitch my porty to a tow hook that is bolted to the receiver tube or do the same with the winch hook. A flexible anchor point directs the load into the porty which I think reduces the load put on the anchor point itself. With some of the stuff I have pulled I would think the rigid mount would have snapped off... which kinda looks like what yours would do.
I used this set up for zipline, lifting and pulling but I was always extremely hesitant to pull my truck up the a tree and have it close to where the real action is by using it rather than the base of the actual tree I was working on.
A porty is designed to point directly at either the redirect or at the load itself. If not you would have problems with rope taking or feeding and would probably end up damaging the rope. You would need to direct the rope into the rigid mounted porty some how.
Also by cutting the hoop on yours you have changed the dynamics considerably. No longer are the attachments for the load line and the anchor in line with each but now the load travels down the tube turning it into a lever focusing every pound of the compounded load directly upon a thick weld on a butted joint.
All that considered: How's it working for you?

Jeez, Matt said he had to get him down? And we are just hearing about it now!? ####!
I was kinda hoping that he would be able to get cut in the leg and still get down but by watching his videos I had the inkling that he could very well not. I mean he did still have something left to put on the theatrics but he must have reacted badly when he got cut AND was both physically and mentally exhausted by the time he did it.

I am not saying it couldn't happened to us as we all know it can, to get cut is probable. When I get cut like that the only instructions I give the crew is to tell one of them mother####ers to drive me to the hospital... as QUIETLY as he can. Quickly? Yes. Quietly? Absolutely. You know, how I want them to do everything else as well with that " nothing to see here folks" sort of nonchalance which, incidentally, is another creed of ours here at Incognito Tree.

I'd be interested in seeing how you are using it. I am still trying to picture it.
