I've heard them called Bear Traps. If a bear were to rub its back on one, it could dislodge the top.

Reminds me of a discussion I had with a guy on the Danish Woodturner's forum about Cyanoacrylate glue. He figured that because it had Cyano in it's name, and cyanide was an ingredient in Cyclone B gas ( Used by ol' Adolph to gas jews, for those ignorant of history) it must be pure poison. I...

I thought you were going to climb on that rope, in SRT ascent. TIP= Tie in point. I made a typo. Now yoiu know why I screamed: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! at the computer.

I’ve only done small stuff, but I’ve found that it’ll always go sideways (depending on pressure on the broken top) you just have to work out which way it wants to go.

Protocol here is : " Run, Forest, run!!!!" Just get the hell out of Dodge when it goes. When I start clearing an escape path before falling a tree, my apprentices know, some heavy shit is going to come down.

We call that a squirrel bridge. Usually try to fall them over backwards, straight away from the hanger. Bridge is usually pushing the stem in that direction. That, or mash the hanger down with another tree.

TP? @stig I am confused

I was looking at that as well. They really do some crazy stuff when you cut them, a case of choose your side carefully. Whats the protocol for those from the forestry pros?

I was thinking the same! I meant to comment and ask but forgot.

Um, TP? tie in point?

Me too! :)

I want to see him fell the broken hung topped one in the background. :D

what's in a name ? As Treepeoples we all appreciate Latin botanical being quite descriptive in many cases , a friend on Ski Patrol has the name "Captain Cocktail" that's right Captain ... of ALL Cocktails. My point is you don't get names for nothing , the guy from J Geils Band is called "Magic...

I used to be big on swings growing up. Had a killer one at my treehouse. On the side of a hill. You could go sideways and do a big circle or striaght. I had a 5/4 board with a hole drilled in it and a knot under. The board split and a girl did not hold on. Fortunately not way up in the...

And here I didn't want to seem a curmudgeon. I could just feel that it was a bad idea. If tubs and Co want a rope swing, they can do it themselves. If they can't figure out how, they're not qualified to use one anyway.

That first picture: I thought it was a TP and was going NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been called in to remove probably close to a dozen over the years, by the State forest. Worst one was over a cliff by the sea, with a 50 foot fall onto boulders. In a scetchy tree, no less. I looked down while I was up there and thought of Darwin. As in: " WHAT THE FUG WHERE THEY...

I refuse to be liable for someone else’s stupidity. A bad day fishing cost less than a good day in court.

Got my girls dropped on me last night, and the boss canceled today. Now I have no idea what to do with today, but it'll be good because I have my babies.

My CNC guy knows his stuff
