using dead wood as an anchor point

Aye, good post.

I too have been up and about on dead trees, the first thing I do is look to see if there is something close by to anchor in and come in from, if not then it is down to your experience and tree/timber knowledge. No one else should make that decision for you..........

If you have been sent to this job by your boss, and it's your first view of the tree, then you need to ask yourself what he was thinking!

Don't be pressured into it.

I did the macho thing once, for the glory, and the company of course, regreted it within minutes but carried on anyway. Lucky to get away with it really. If anything I looked more of a numpty than a rock hard man 'o' the trees.....

 

Bing!
