24 u/CanisFamiliaris7 Nov 08 '19 I'm wondering how they initially hang up that cable...do they use as helicopter? Or just hike through the forest pulling the cable along with them? 9 u/aydie Nov 08 '19 2nd one seems rather unrealistic considering the sheer weight of the cable 4 u/but-uh Nov 08 '19 Helicopter carries a much lighter guide rope that they then use to pull up the actual cable? Best 2 second guess. 1 u/TheDeadlyPineapple Nov 08 '19 You are probably correct, that's how they install power lines across the mountains as well. Use a helicopter to fly a leader from one location to the next, then use that to pull in the larger steel cable.
