I screamed and blew a whistle when I saw my former employee was setting up to making a blind cut by his SRT-down-strand. No luck. He had a 540 lanyard wrap, so he had fall arrest. He missed it, anyway. The whole thing would have been avoided with a simple, "No blind cuts. Know where your...

Reg, the good thing is that you can turn connect and disconnect throughout the day with bump of a palm, much as you would try to shout to someone, but effectively getting their attention over noise. You don't have to stay connected all day. I wear ear plugs under my muffs...extra noise...

Asshole-ish is a more readable, made-up word, than Assholish, which reads like it would rhyme with...ass-polish. $.02 Aren't all words made up, though?

If you cooked it over a fire with your bare hand, THAT would be MANLY.

Ya got that right, Scott.

Its interesting to hear people's backstories!! We are so different from how others perceive us, and even how we perceive ourselves. Take this many steps further, with the internet persona, largely text, here at the TH.

Videos are even more special. To hear a grandparent/ parent/ family members voice is so much more. Baby's first this and that. A kid's first school dance, etc. You can get rid of them later, but never have a chance to get them again.

Your daughter will appreciate it, I bet, and her kids, on down the line. I'll bet you will as well. Your memory won't be so sharp as an old man.

I agree with you on that, B, for the most part. Spar versus intact tree, possibly hanging up branches with other trees' branches are situational. I heard from USFS S212 trainers that 80% of deaths occur within 8' of the stump. Seems like that also had some 8" and less component, but that seems...

That last bit, ...even less likely toward the stump, is where I mean that staying put is good, compared to heading toward the side. If stuff gets thrown back, the stump can be a good shield. Falling wide conifers in an intact forest can catapult branches back. That's why it was sometimes...

Sometimes you're better off running. Sometimes a stump make a big shield if you stay put. I've seen a branch flunk very far to the side, close to or over 100' toward people not too much farther away, and I've hidden behind big trees right behind the stump, effectively. too. Forests or dumping...

you can use cell phones in a conference call, bluetoothed to the helmet if one guy is without. Put his on speaker phone in a chest pocket.

Around 5 minutes in, that is a funky, redirect negative blocking scenario with a top-rigging point. Took me a while to figure it out (I think).

My safety rule for working on roofs and the box of the truck---don't move your feet unless you're looking at them. As easy as tying in twice. Way too easy to have a little branch piece become a roller under your foot. I have chain links welded on top of my box for ladders. I suppose I could...

Hardass on more than the apprentices!:lol:

I've never wanted an inspector to come by when we are on a roof, for whatever reason, including blowing off sawdust.
