Good technique Data,
KF,
Tom suggest just these things, these screamers to me sometime back. Do you suggest i clip one of these into my steel core flipline?
Our industry sure needs this.
Screamers i like the idea
maybe not!
If the screamer was incorporated into my steel core flip line when that 10 feet log was attached to me it would have released like it is desgined to do putting me further away from the log as I was beign pulled downward. I may not have been able to grab back onto the tree and spike in.
When would the breakaway screamer lanyard be at optimum effecicency.
this conjecture is making me hunger.
In any case we still have 1 tree left to trim.
Originally we had two tall trims and one short dead removal in the midst of them.
The only way to do this is after removing the dead middle tree off the tryolean have groundman release left side swing me into right tree. After I trim the right pine, release enuff slack for groundman to pull pully to left side resecure and swing to left tree.
