That’s one thread I’ll never forget. Changed the way I work, not that I install rope swings you understand. Any sketchy tree where a client wants to save it or similar, I just say ‘it’s out or nothing’

Bet he was finger blasting her all evening anyway. I doubt it ate him, they’re vegetarian.

My nephew did that first time I saw him climb after college, swimming alongside an oak branch 12‘ diameter you could hang a car off. Yes it works, but on a daily basis on multiple branches it’s exhausting. In your scenario I don’t doubt it was the best/safest method I always say ‘if you can...

I’m guessing with that sort of fire awareness his house burnt down with him in it.

I did indeed ask, and yes as ixsklr said, it’s a matter of time if he continues.

I’ve sent Naturarbo Carls email anyway.

Didn’t know where to put this. Nature arbo, the guy from Portugal is unable to log in. Anyone else having problems? I’m not btw.

Understood, I’m not srt savvy, so have to do whatever it takes. Even riding the pony on occasion.

Well, yes. But when you fall off walking backwards (with tension on the rope) there’s a tendancy to try and right yourself, in doing that you fall sideways and spiral out of control.

I’m sort of teaching my groundy at the moment, and the return is a technique I feel is the simplest and best for all but insane long walks.

I was looking at the other thread and not understanding a thing about 3 in 1s for branch walking redirects and all that. So I’ll explain how I do it how I get out and how I get back. If I have a reasonably long walk out, I never or almost never do that walking backwards letting the rope out...

Who’s joking?

Interesting, I’ve been in sales, some of it pretty tough cold calling. Some of the best ones were bereft of any sort of embarrassment, completely unaffected by repeated rejection, never saw it affect them.

Yeah, lot of people feel the need to ‘be‘ something or other, make them more interesting, at least to themselves.

Great news Stig.
