Rigging a Heavy Duty Log Lifting Tripod @SurvivalSherpa

Uploaded July 2018 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

This tripod is made from three dead cedars. It held up fine lifting a 925# sill log. I traded block and tackle for a chain fall for lifting power and control.

Thanks for watching, and, as always, keep Doing the Stuff of Self-Reliance,
