"Oregon Coffee Break?"

I have used the "fishing pole method" a bit.Never heard it called by that or any specific name.I have only used it when having to dismantle exceptionally long lateral limbs.Its a great one to know and pretty easy to set up and use.

Here are some pics

Nice pic Mike.

 

I remember mentioning the technique on a course I was on, the trainer had never heard of it, I have never had to use it but knowing how to do it is useful.

Surely by the time you have that set up you could lower several short pieces independently. The result is the same.

[MasterBlaster]

Not always, mate.

Gonna take your worrd for it, and consign the method to the bowels of my memory bank.

I can then recall it when needed and continue to look like the hero
