I did enjoy it and it was well worth waiting up for (1.48 a.m here) Set Quality to HD. Great Lake view as you jammed your heel into the rotting top.Jeez, no wonder you were cramping up working those segments off bit by bit from such an enormous trunk....Looked like some Giant dried up Chocolate cake as the crumbling segments dropped leaving a dusty tail. I always marvel at your bravery and skill but above all your focus. Understandable that you were cautious in cutting a shallow face and glad you were able to get another cable on to coax such a mass of wood over it's balance point.Great technical thinking and understanding. Hopefully you broke even but in any case like you saud "No Carnage and you got home"...You are a great inspiratiin to me and have been for a few years now. Keep doin what yer doin. Goodnite 🖒🖒🌳🌲

Very down to earth and humble Reg. Thanks for sharing and taking the time. Bet you were glad to have those cedars near by for an anchor. [emoji106]

Hi reg, I have just watched the video, thanks for sharing, just a quick question- there was a thread on here a while back about allowing for your flip line to break away if the stem had failed leaving you on the ceder anchor-

 

from the video were you clipped in to your side d's or did you make any break away provision?

Hope that makes sense? It's always great to learn from seeing your skills and theory! Cheers rich

Nicely done. Would have been a bit different without the TIP you had. Sounds like it maxed you out mentally. Well done getting it done, as always

Just watched the vid Reg.

That was a shitbag alright, reminded me of Mr. MacMahon on the Tahune Airwalk gum in parts.

What was the story of why it was left like that?

Glad you found some decent hingewood. I have zero experience of softwoods of that size & condition, but would a vertical plunge cut, through where the face cut was have indicated how much sound wood you had to work with?

[Mark Bolam]

You know what it's like Pete, with sketchy stuff like that you're always a bit feared of fannying around with what may potentially be the only decent timber available.

Anyway, was the timber milled?

It would be such a shame to waste it.
