Almost got crushed by my flipline

Plus one on the pole spikes versus the tree spikes. It is truly nicer to have your boots closer in to the tree.

i like to use this when taking large branches. kinda a cross between a jump and a notch. the piece snaps free but also hinges down and away. its kinda neat.

lanyard position

With the branch junction pictured. There is no need to lanyard into lower limb being cut. Get in a rush and pay the price. Also a short part of old climbline would stop limb ripping to lanyard. Lanyard, timber or cow knot and then cut. Any ripping back is stopped by this rope. On large limb removals being roped out. Have a rope tied on each side of cut. No limb splitting either way!
