Is that a skyworker?
 
first removal I did with the crane we picked up a couple months ago. manitex 1461
pic was taken from the crane controls about 50 ft away (zoomed in a bit)

That's where wood gets heavy. I think you would have been fine without cutting the notch for the strap to bite into. When you lift like that the strap really gets stressed working itself into the notch, strength is diminished and it wears it out fast. If you are gonna cut a notch for that purpose make sure its wide enough to nicely accomadate the rigging, round it off a little, the corners are sharp with 9k.
 
here's a few fun pics

me and my ten year old in a large bur oak -- I got her to climb up to 65' in this tree, and she knows her knots -- she's still working on footlocking http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l525/iustinian5000/climbinglex4-1.jpg

yeah I was a little nervous about the strap slipping off (didn't think about leaving a few good stubs there) so I made the notch. thanks for the tip Dan
 
My submission, think it covers our main subject this year on AS

Good thing they added the handgun option to the package, its got to be much easier to use than the Chinese made 2x4 they used to supply. I guess you only need one at that range but how many bullets does it come with?

Pretty good shot-AND who took the Picture?
 
Anyone know how to post a photo from an iPhone ??

You could try an app called tapa talk. Or just do like arborpro said. I am sure there is an even easier way than tapatalk that I just have yet to figure out. I think the I4s is amazing.
