From talking with local utility arborists and tree workers I get the impression that most of the larger line-clearance companies still use the old tried and true single rope/taut line hitch rig rather than using a separate "split-tail" and a Blakes hitch. Am I correct?
If I am correct then wouldn't it make sense when training an entry level tree worker to teach and train with the taut line since he is most likely to start out with a line-clearance company? This of course would not preclude teaching the Blake's too but shouldn't the emphasis be on the taut line?
Opinions please.
