    I only have/use one headcam on a job Rog. 'Only' if its convenient and we well ahead of the game I'll ask the guys to set up my traditional style vid cam on the ground, as was the case here. We gotta get the job done, first and foremost. Thats what I get paid for. Youve been saying about pov...

    Big poplar wreck

    It was too far for the guys to flick the rigging line back to me where I was perched. So I set a second, long sling and put just above my lanyard and ran the line thought it. I took off about 5 limbs around that point. They still swing right over to the main rigging point, but I just pull on...
