What the hell is going on here then ?

You don't need to be round the stem, just a strong branch.

On that tree, at that angle of the rope ?

On that tree, at that angle of the rope ?

 

I don't see how "that tree and that angle" would preclude installing with a throw line, It wouldn't even need to be that big of a limb.

 

One man pulled the tree over so the force and by extension the strength of the anchor point would need to be pretty low

 

When the shot moves to the wider angle I can see several places where even my mediocre throw line skills could bag a line into that tiddler of a tree.

You don't even need to be round a strong branch with the technique I use

Yes, but does that not involve attaching at the trunk, within reach ?(fishing rod method) which appears not to be the case here.

[Steve Bullman]

thats correct

[skyhuck]

thats correct

 

Stevie was referring to using a running bowline to attach the rope up in the crown, where you do need a branch of sufficient strength.

[Steve Bullman]

yeah and my point was theres no need to do that.

 

Actually not sure why i even bothered posting again in this thread, did tell myself I wouldn't!!

Tree is on the ground, no injuries, no damage, job done.

You can speculate, opinionate, conotate, we all have different ways of doing the same job.

I also said I wouldn't post on this again. Hey ho.

The TM was pretty poor, but other than that I'm not sure what the all fuss is about??
