Fair size for a Mulberry mate, never seen one get to that size over here. Most of them I've seen seem to like falling apart as soon as they get above 20ft

Yeh Dan, the biggest Ive seen over here for sure. Had a big split which was growing.

[Dan Curtis]

Nice, sounds about right. Was that first track one of yours?

Good job Ben.

 

Do you drink gatorade in the hot weather?

 

Where possible when I'm rigging, I'll cut the biggest piece available to me to test the strength of the tree, at the earliest opportunity. If its all good I know the whole thing is in hand from that point onwards. I sorta got that feeling when you took that first limb....you're headcam appeared all jerky and stuff. But after that your movement seemed smoother throughout. Was your ar se twitching a little on that first one mate? looked quite heavy for what it was.

Reg the Harris was ok mostly on that job yes I rigged the first part over a big irk to be sure of the integrity of the tree, then installed a pinto rig higher up. Mulberry sure is heavy.

 

I drink whatever is at hand, usually the customer provides ice water, and I fill p the camelbak with that.

 

Been getting into zip lining recently, I love it, and so does the groundcrew.
