    hate to say it but that is probably what ya got to do. Yeah, 101, I wouldn't go welding rods in there, maybe its best you cut out what you did and start fresh.

    Welp! looks like im gonna be in the market for a new truck. Just found out today that my tundra has a design flaw in the tranny that isnt covered under the recall. The over drive bearing is shot and its like a 5g fix. The ####ing worthless piece of #### truck maybe worth 7g if it was fixed. Im not putting a dime into that thing gonna take it to the dealer and let them have it.

    Not really. The top when it was hanging unside down was in the tops of the trees below. It was a little jolt, but not to bad.

    I got to agree looks like you could have let it run a little more... But then again angles and videos can be deceiving. It all got down safely so no worries.

    Its gonna take a lot more than that to shake Blue Power Ranger. And I gotta say I am really diggin the Kask ( In English Kask means helmet, it Italian, where the helmet is made, kask means a place to store something precious or a big container for wine).
    48Inch came down sportin his a couple weeks ago, I really liked the visor set up. And not only is it a suspension type helmet but it got some styrofoam in there soes it can really take a wallop and it helps deaden the sound when things fall on yer head. My old Petzl was like Echo Canyon amplified.

    But NO, there was little room to let things run on that crumbly locust. And YES, I consider that a love tap... if that. But its not like I wasn't ready, if you look you can see my left arm hug the spar just over the pulley, the saw is off and in my right hanging low. If I really have to let the saw go then it goes but so far it hasn't. My ropes are tight, my face is above wood, there is no room between me and the spar. The tree would break before I let loose. If I were to kick out I would be able to quickly wrap a leg around the spar. I always keep a defensive stance in every cut. I have seen guys ride spars leaning back on their lanyards and make it look like they were just hanging out... more power to em! Really, if that's how they do it fine with me but I won't set myself up to be a paddle ball.

    We were working with a GRCS which was the first time for me, it made things a ####ing breeze! Some lower limbs were right over the roof, the tips were to crumbly to tip tie and crank up whole, I went out and took the tips off, then the GRCS did its trick. After that we were standing up limbs easy. I worked with a Hobbes years ago, the GRCS is way easier to use.

    It was coming down through the trees anyways, let it run. If my groundy did that I would have his a-- and he knows it.

    It got stuck in the trees as it was. If i would have just left it run to the ground it would have been a big mess, and might have also hit my gcrs.

    I actually told him to hold it til it stablized. The roof line was right there, gutter sticking out, there was barley room to land stuff with all the other trees and the washed out hill. If it was let run there was a good chance it would have gotten diverted and went towards the house.
    People always apologize for shakin me but the way I see it if you knock me off that pole then its my fault... and anybody is welcome to try... but yeeeer not gonna

    Yeah both times I was ragged were my fault. I was pretty green. If you are going to dropping tops onto a pulley then you have to assume the risk and always be prepared for it. I described how I do it, it works well for me. There is only so much a rope man can do and its really not that easy to let stuff run, you have to be good at it , even then things can jolt, they will jolt, you have to plan for it, expect it.
