Show your big swings....

That was me... I wasn't tied in twice, it makes it easy to get round the stem, the stem was too thick for the 28" bar to get in a oner and as I was bore and releasing I had to cut both sides, so it was better for work positioning.

 

Also its not a good idea strapping yourself to 3 tons of rotten timber anyway, if you doubt me why not strop in to your next 10 ground fells, just to see how it feels.

 

I would have put a lanyard behind me on the stem at the rear, still plenty of room to work with, done plenty of big aerial fells and don't seem to have a problem strapping in, don't doubt your capability just wondered why which you have explained.

Always thought it would be great fun to find somewhere and set up a really big swing. A couple of good videos I found on youtube below, the first in Hawaii and the second in Australia.

That Hawaii rope swing is truly epic. Need to get myself one of those rigged up.

They look great, definitely going to build a big one.
