Bouquets Mr. Tom Dunlap would say/preach. Can also try small prussics if need spaced Orchestrated correctly, could have the terminal Running Bowl as stated, cut first for force, then next in line held only by force of tension line from each side to Half Hitch in-between. Rope is fantastic...

Great! i have kinda reshaped thin cheap linoleum knife to clean / take back to spec groove by pulling around laser nose down each side or away from sprocket nose each side and sharpened tip in knife to clean like entrance port each side. Kinda re spec any time take apart. Simply give system...

Breaking problem into parts does a new or section of old links. This could be scuffed or bent drive links into bar from that side of this marriage and/or narrowed or bent bar side of marriage. . The work is so hard, everything without work must be silky smooth riding on thin film of oil. Arcs...

Round Sheet as stated perhaps slipped. If one rope smaller / tighter, that must be the locking hitch side especially single sheet. The larger/'fluffier' side of Sheet Bend the more passive bight; just like smaller cord for friction hitch grip on larger host. . Echoing Del_ to on 'parts...

You can make an adjustable lanyard by using a Friction Hitch, usually to side Ds. But with steel core probably want gibbs type mechanical grab/pinch THRU to steel core. FYI the cam arc is Fibonacci/Nautilus shell arc to hit the magic geometry required to hit the magic geometry to work...

2is1 and 1isNone. It is not the fall, but the sudden stop. Learn from horrifying statistics, instead of being one is best. Slow is steady and steady is fast (rescue version of tortoise and hare) Average chainsaw emergency room visit: 110+ stitches (we've all probably heard some lower numbers...

Does a prussik have to be thinner than the rope its around? >>IF is closed friction hitch of 2 legs of loaded support to saddle as Prussic, not so much single loaded leg 'open' friction hitch such as Blake's/Proh-grip. . . Blake's real and faux(foe) 'sui-slide': . A> When working with rigid...

i think a standard CYA of 'other duties as assigned' is typical. . "How to be an Excellent Groundman"/Groundman's Guidebook(attached) started hear by the late Masterblaster Butch Ballowe 20yrs ago, guess returning home now. . Gerald Beranek Author of classic "The Fundamentals of General Tree...

This is great, for truly i was not born knowing these things that i remember. Many times reading, many places here and elsewheres i find myself wondering if everyone is on the same page of this deeply pivotal concept. One that i had to keep bringing self back to, to get here; but now live...

If fold line(front of hinge span) and CoG (Center of Gravity)are at same point/unchanged in scenario: Tree load pulls forward at same force(same weight, height, angle to same pivot), so forces same resistance against fall forward per thickness of hinge from target. Central machine point pivot...

We jest call ya often then. . To fell a tree is an action against the tree that itself falls. Whether say feller or faller is purely semantics of perspective per the action given or returned ; like as input given to vs. output achieved from the event by the chess player, gentlemens. . But, ain't...

In rigid forms the combined/net average expression of distributions of mechanicals of weight, angle and distance to a single point is the Center of Gravity alias CoG. To model, calculate etc. can use that CoG point xForce to show how to handle, what to expect. This is true in all things, as very...

Throw bags and lines are cheap, but in a pinch have put dirt in a mechanics red rag and used paracord. >>Want soft fill so deforms and slides into target, not bounces away and light rope that does not catch as try to get bag to slide to ground. But really, throwbag and line are about the...

To me, just looking at bark is a fast growing, softer and lighter wood of low btu value, junkier end of oak or close to oak spectrum. More towards Water Oak, than Live Oak in that scale/range.. . Live Oak is my highest oak benchmark of expressing most greatest values of many components. All...

All excellent, is there a specific question, family or utility? from: Arboristsite >>Arborist 101>>Rope thread Educated Climber, as stated, specifically Ashley's Book of Knots as ' bible' defacto standard reference Roo's Notable Knot Index is amazing lightweight minimal journey to well laid out...

Excellent idea. Classically Keslick's Treedictionary is chock full of stuff.

Undermine Center of Gravity more with a bit deeper face cut, to essentially increase lean forward to put a few more points on your side; and pull from high, rigid, balanced pull position. Wedge kinda as backup against sit down back. If some sideLean, keep hinge more in widest part of tree across...

Went and made ya this view going thru Overhand Knot, maybe even quicker: . Rock On !

yo Bro! Utility class, deceptively simple, almost trick from slipped 8 +1move. Originally started Quick8 w/8 as to make parent HFP8, then lace tail opposite way thru than HFP8. Adaptation here amounts to same, just start with slipped8. >>and flip tail in loop opposite side of Standing Part/DONE...

At IGKT forum last November knot guru Dan Lehman has simply reversed the tuckings thru fig8 to opposite direction for a quicker, and sleeker adjustable terminal/ending eye on rope like Bowline. From a very familiar figure8/slipped +1 tuck is DONE/sweeeeeet! Dan Lehman has defined points and...
