Mine is the prime example of overkill and attempting new splicing stuff all in one, I'll throw a picture up sometime. I guess i could just add a small loop of string line to my harness and just clip into that....

Damnit. I'm probably gonna have to splice up a new one then, they are really good dog snaps lol. It's 3 stand, complete with a bungee cord in the middle :cry:

Yeah, that requires boring in, so personally i don't use it. I either climb out farther (ideal), notch and bore, or coos bay. I really think he's just an actor, sho that's what he was taught/ scripted to do.

Pretty much hahahahahaha

I really need to learn up on my fungi, canker, etc. That's the next step of my learning i think.

A dog snap, so it should break. I don't ever want to find out tho!!!

:lol: that's it! Ignorance is bliss, and he is quite blissful as the tree takes lucky bounces off other trees and he just stands there like he's looking at Niagara Falls or something 🤣

Someone please find that again, it was horrible!!!

@TallTreeClimber , if you notice, he's taking small limbs with a handsaw. It's like comparing apples to sting rays, completely different things going on that aren't related. On pruning, i still do the top cut closer to the trunk slightly so my saw isn't caught in the torn fibers, which would...

@SeanKroll i think you are right, but i would think on a heavy limb you would never get to the back cut, because the force is so great and there's really not that much wood there. I've used it the way i described a few times, but i am not very experienced with it, mainly because i usually force...

No that's not even close to far enough on those limbs, because they split out on you. Your choice of cut (what you did is called a drop cut) was also wrong, as was your choice of the location of the cut. You needed to be further out to minimize the leverage, or use a coos bay or bore cut. Large...

Alright, that makes sense now. Dead wood, no matter the species, is more brittle than green wood obviously. Those looked like long, large horizontal leaders, which are exerting a very large tension force on the top of the limb. You did a simple drop undercut, but not nearly enough to stop it...

You started the top cut right?
