a proper chopper Job,

Fair play to one of the groundies, he was over there like a shot - if there had have been a bad cut, then every second counts:thumbup1:

 

Good point!!!!!!

I noticed the first groundy was on his toes, good man !

 

But the second groundy was oblivious to what had happened ...bless him

I like to have a dedicated groundie.. He NEVER walks away from the tree while I AM in it or the bucket.. He manages ground traffic, so I don't have to, and has a complete understanding of what is going to happen next... He would have stopped me from making that cut with my line fouled like that. The tirck to make the team run efficiently is to be fast enough as a climber to keep him busy, and have the rest of the ground support able to process the debris fast enough to keep up. I never have to wait to have a line untied or fro wraps to be taken etc ..

Upon slow motion review, it appears he had a fairly good body position, standing on the cut of another big lead, with only slight bending for the cut..

second vid is a good reminder to everyone to check, re check etc and be on your toes.

stay safe lads and ladies!!!!!!
