If you cut your lanyard by accident and one have tied in once, what do you think will happen? If you are (correctly) tied in twice and cut your lanyard, you still have one tie in left.

Ailathus is in my opinion the worst tree we have in Europe. Almost worth starting a thread about, to keep newbies from getting hurt or worse.

Brian, it has happened to me. I don't consider myself a gormless newbie, do you? That moment when you are being pulled in and know you have frigged up badly is one that stays with you for the rest of your time in the trees.

I pick those up real easy. When I came back to the Californian coast after beeing a buckaroo in Idaho, everybody told me I sounded like a God damned cowboy:lol: Be fun to add some, though. Always been fashinated by the way the Scots speak.

Me too. I'm about an inch from crying " Bullshit", so please convince me.

On dubious trees and heavy leaners I put a locking chain over and one under the cut. That way I can futz around as much as I want and not get hurt anyway. We top out quite a few hazard trees for the Forestry Service every year. They typically want the stem left for wildlife/fungus habitat, so...
