he took care of this tree in good time, never hit my big cable flipline I had him use, and he had a blast.
his first block was a big one, and watching him do his first takedown and rappel was a real treat.

That's awesome you guys have got huge cohones, I love to try it but way to chicken without some supervision from a pro. Maybe some day.

I see you left some limbs then climbed above them to take out the hat. I had to finger that one out all by my little self but that is primo stuff there anyway. Slows down the rebound a whole lot.
Was that a mouth gaurd I saw hanging from your helmet Slayer?
I just can't believe you have the patience after all these years to feed that little chipper but I am not knocking it. Do me a favour would ya? Tell What a Stihl I was just joking about the idiot thing. OK? Thanks.
Man its nice out huh?

It was actually a negative rep he gave me that read "idiot" and I think it was over the "guns" thread.

Don't even bother with a 192; its for suckers. So is only being strapped in with just the lanyard but Hell I don't even use a steelcore. I tried once but decided that too was for suckers.
Don't let my demeanor get to you but still that one tie in is not good. Sure I have done trees like that for years with just a regular lanyard and a short line I kept coiled on my hip for which to get down. I guess I thought I was a tough guy. I still never had a problem doing it like that but have changed my ways.
So now on those pines, spruce and such I use my top rope as well as my lanyard. If I have to rig or make big cuts I place the top rope a few feet above me but if its just a strip job all the way up I keep it above my lanyard ( under the limbs that need to be cut) and flip them both when I move upwards. Yes, it takes more time and can get urcsome ( did I spell urcsome right?) Let me look that up.
