My question is to the vets.
Gaff climbing on skinny tree's, If there pretty skinny do ya'll find if easier to grab the tree and take a couple steps, then advance your lanyard?
Or do you still keep your hands on your lanyard at all time, I find double wrap is a PITA.
I was out in the woods today taking down a skinny (9") diam, 40' pine and was about 10 ft off the ground, with my lanyard and hands on it and gaffed out on one side and slid a long way down before i finally just grabbed the damn tree to stop. That has happened before and i keep my hands on my lanyard and just sat back in my harness with my inner thighs on the tree and never slid, what give's?
