How would you go about getting into a conifer with no crotch?
WeeDee replied to YoGi_93's topic in Climbers talk
My friend, Wile E. Coyote, recommends that you order a huge catapult from the ACME Company - plant the catapult in the ground - place oneself into catapult pocket - walk backwards - and whoosh! P.S Be careful you don't whoosh straight into the trunk ..... I think it happened to him once .... or twice .... -
At 90mph, there were two passengers in the car - the driver would have had about as much control as you.

Taylor Triangle Technique / TTT for measuring trees
WeeDee replied to mdvaden's topic in General chat
Thanks for that - so when would 'some' circumstances arise? I'm genuinely interested to know when this level of accuracy would be required (and wouldn't be negated by the same forest, movement caused by wind etc.) -

WeeDee replied to mdvaden's topic in General chat
When do you have to be that accurate in normal circumstances? (tape measure and clinometer does me) -
Thought it was a surgical truss!

She's nice....

Mine's fine. Maybe yours was a Friday afternoon job. Good luck.
-
What's the reasoning behind the practice? I'm still not clear regarding the whole situation. Is it all the time etc.?

Well done to his Mum! Enjoy every minute.

A cambium saver, possibly?

But it would still burn nicely .... eh? Seriously, nice work. Welcome to the asylum.

Do you have any before/after images of the one of the whole trees?

Got this (stupid) survey emailed to me today
WeeDee replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in Firewood forum
What did you not like about it? -
Hi Paul, do you get the chance to climb with others? Close contact with like-minded individuals might provide the chance of some feedback on your technique, and support in your skill development.

Two weeks ago I sat and watched two men in a bucket hanging from a crane! One of them (the expert) had a chainsaw and his apprentice held on to the tree. So as the expert levered the saw into the tree (and the bucket swung away from the tree) the apprentice would lean out and reach over the saw to hold onto the tree and stop the bucket from swinging too far! It's a good job he wasn't working on his own - that would have been dangerous!

I use Ocean Polyester 10mm. Eye to eye measurement of 85cm. With my weight (66kg) 3 wraps and 3 braids on Imori or XTC. I hope this helps, Mark (or at least makes sense!)

The Guinness ad. Surfing, air guitar, and it lasted about 5 minutes! Classic.

I dropped a spindly branch on a line and it just hung there - almost touching the ground but at least not nipping the line. Then the groundie comes along, gives it a good pull and the whole damn thing goes twang!

I thought mycophageous described an organism that 'ate' fungi. I may be stuck with a schoolboy's definition. Does it also have a more encompassing meaning?

That's a cracking piece of work, Tommer. That's the way it should be done!

Another absolute marvel - no matter when an individual discovers it. Thanks for posting.

The Gecko always seems too 'elastic'.

The condition of your gear will depend on how often it's used and in what conditions it's kept. You would be the best person to answer those questions, Andy.

Yes, can all the larger people please put down their saws and step away from the tree. I was wondering if the two baskets on either side were part of the harness - they would be handy if you were selling fresh veg. when in the tree.

You can hang by these points (Petzl call them 'remote attachment points') but they are not fall arrest points. ie. EN358 and not EN363. Your point that the bridge attaches to them is a good one.
