And old dirtys got 5 years experience? Now that's expertise!
I know what I can do and have done and don't care what you think.
its oldirty.
6 yrs climbing never mind the early ground years. set free after working for a couple studs in this area. ive seen it done the right way and ive learned that way.
i can call your statement bs because i have also seen it done the wrong way. i dont work like that.
i watched a guy do a lot next to us in arlington mass the other day. he was missing a tooth in his smile. roofless toofless i called him. bumpy too, it was wierd.
anyway, all he would do was spike up a bit and then set his flipline as high as he could reach it and choke it. his one TIP. and work up to that point and repeat the process. every single cut he made would be a reaching 1 handed salami cut with a 346xp. ( he was real proud of that saw btw. had the silver top.) the branches above him he'd fast cut and lean back to avoid the brush, inches from his flipline. his one TIP.
anyway, this guy. roofless toofless as i call him told me he had been climbing that way since 89' and didnt really have the time to be setting lines to get around the tree. because his way had worked this far for him. when i showed him the way i climb and the climbing setup's from my coworker's, he still didnt buy in.
the moral of the story you ask?
at least this knucklehead, who has no time to set a line, at the very least uses a saddle and flipline to go with his spikes while he is one handing his medium saw/climbing saw on a small tree.
