A good job well documented Rupe:thumbup1:

good job that, i saw on your videos your letting the lumps swing half way round the tree. just wondered how you were getting the line back since you havent got a floating pulley or anything that i saw, just tieing it on end of your rope or groundie swinging it back to you?

[Rupe]

So far we have been ok with groundie flicking it back. I'd clip another line to it if necessary.

A bit more video from the other day.

Nice and smooth as always mate

[Stephen Blair]

keeping it real there rupe, its good to see the pulley going through a crotch, a couple of branches getting snagged and a cheeky wee boot to stop the but jumping up and getting you. Proper job:thumbup1:

Nice one Rupe. I must admit, whe the first pics went up, I didnt think it looked that big and wondered how long it would take. But that is a fair sized tree and your doing a really good controlled job.

 

I love the bit at about 3.20 where you put your toe on the butt as it breaks away. Have you also had one of those kick you in the nuts as it breaks away?!?!

 

Just our of interest, whats the brand of lowering rope?

Trying to keep it genuine! A few others didn't make the edit!! I should do a video of goofs and schollboy errors at the end of the year!
