Top-side friction, passed to the climber/ held by the climber, helps you have extra length on your rigging rope.

If you need a tag line for a rigged piece, just tie the piece however far down the rope you need to have as a tagline, rather than anchoring the wood at the end of the rope. If you need a 30' tag line, just tie at 30' down the rope.

I'm running on 7 cylinders on this one. I want to say there is some sorta fungal canker that does that a lot. Maybe 6.5 cylinders.

No. You see that a lot in maples. Sun damage? Rubbing branches in the past?

Stevo, you can clip a (steel ) biner to the rigging plate, and the snap to biner, or get a small sewn dyneema loop runner girth hitched to the plate.

Vegetable oil, included?

Move to the ends of your bridge or center ring for this. P.S. If injured and suspended by the bridge for a long time, suspension trauma can result. A lanyard from D to D under the feet, makes a perch and relieves leg strap pressure that can lead to problems. Suppose you guy has a pinned arm...

Always have a Plan B

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. How do you work a tree? One cut at a time.

Chris, for what it's worth, my first doug for removal was in a rock climbing harness, and two ropes, adjusted with clove hitches. What took me two days, then, with a small back handle saw, that met its maker on day one (lanyard came untied, finished with HOs electric corded saw), and my ms361...

WEDGES for pull trees.

Agree with Stig, and Peter. Using a continuous rope puller removed the knot from the pull-side. Use a bowline on a bight instead of an alpine butterfly. Using a "tensionless anchor" at head high, as Stig says.

Pull it slowly to not spin it around branches. A lighter weight for throwing/ shooting, which is let it fall to the ground, can be swapped for a heavy weight for manipulating around the tree. 12oz initially, up to 16-20 oz for "dancing" if there is a lot of bark/ moss friction.

There could be a throw line tips and technique thread.

Yep. And keep practicing hand throwing.

It certainly doesn't just feel good. Its preventative, and rehabilitative. I read something in a Tech Tip in (rock) CLIMBING about cross fiber massage, but don't remember exactly what. A foam roller or hard ball rolled on the arm muscles helps.

I wear them to avoid cramps and sore fingers. good thing I reread that. I know I'm prone to typos when my brain gets going faster than my fingers... I had written, "I wear them to avoid craps and sore fingers". Just doesn't sound right.

That's good your in touch with your doctor. I was going to suggest that. Are you chronically gripping? Climbing and groundwork and hand tools and carrying and... Do your fingers curl a lot when "at rest"?

Sounds like chainsaw claw (rope gripping claw). Stretch a lot. Massage you muscles a lot. Electrolytes never hurt. Lots of water... Monitor how much comes out, not how much goes in.
