Rigging straight timber

[Rupe]

Can't get it right all the time! I don't use a lanyard for every cut. I should and I would encourage others to but I don't, and I'm not bothered by the odd picture coming up with errors in it.

 

If I'm totally comfy in my position, with no chance of a swing and cutting away from me, or below my top rope then I get on with it. I use lanyard all the time when out on a limb, IMO thats what they are for.

 

I still have some bad habits and dodgy ways! I didn't know what a lanyard was for my first 4 years of climbing, for the next 6 years I hardly ever saw anyone else climbing a tree! I only got triple action krabs/cambium savers/ aerial rescue ticket etc in 2002 after ten years of climbing!

 

I've improved since then but make no apology for my pictures, I'll find some much worse ones if you like, heres one

[Arborlord]

lol.

 

The only person that can judge the situ is the guy up there in the tree.

Nowt wrong with relaxed one handed discing up Rupe, looks pretty chilled out to me

 

another way of looking at it is you only get vibration white finger in one hand

[Jamie]

or why are you cutting up a nice big oak log? (apart from that horribe crotch with teh wedge innit).

 

Just be careful you don't get squashed in there however.

The crane could have put it on the forwarder but it would never be able to get it off the other end, so we disced it all up! Not my job!

You accept it's an error, but you dont want to correct the error or you just can't be bothered?

[Rupe]

I can't go back in time mate! That picture was taken, get over it!

[Mr Ed]

Or am I wrong?

 

Your wrong.

Ha,ha, same as and how about this for a back in time picture? Australia.

Thats cool mate, its just that you posted that follow up pic of you one handing the 88 on the crosscut as if your promoting techniques that look half-arsed like they're the new current industry best practice.
