Yea, I have no idea what's going on there, but that's pretty neat.

Ouch!

A Bosun's chair? of all things.

 

[lxskllr]

Yea, screw all of that. It's worth the walk down and back up the steps to get my harness out of the truck, and some decent rope and hitchcord :^D

 

[Burnham]

People get crippled or die in falls like that.

 

[Knotorious]

I put this into the wrong thread TWICE in a row. Sorry if you all got a bunch of notifications...

This looks terrifying...I wonder how he got down...

 

[Kaveman]

Quite quickly I'd imagine...

 

[Burnham]

That would scare the total crap out anybody.

 

[gf beranek]

That's not good.

 

[gf beranek]

Insane run. Nutz

 

[Burnham]

Death wish.

 

[Nutball]

He's excited like he's fail those jumps 50 times already.

He looked pretty calm tough.
I'd be scared, but (only) from my chair, if you look closely at the very last moment of the vid, you can see there's fire only at the top of the stem, about nothing anymore under him in a few seconds. It seems to be a flash fire burning the loose fluffy things and then, its done. Not hot enough and not persistent enough to begin a steady fire of the heavier stuff able to melt his ropes.

Some extreme rope jumping and highlining...

That’s the way I figured it as well.

I saw in person one of these beasts yesterday at the composting yard. Just WOW!
The tyres are about 6" in diameter, just to give an idea of the size. It's bigger than the average truck and the driver in its risen cabin can see inside the semitrailers. Amazing.
Just skip the annoying first 20s of the vid.

 

[gf beranek]

Chews it up pretty dam fast.

Mayer Tree in MA pioneered the use of Albachs coupled with Sennebogan grapple saws to clear back massive amounts of tree growth along highways in minuscule amounts of time.

FTR!

I have never seen a Peacock of that color.

Beautiful.

 

[Maximalist]

I've never seen such peacocks either. This is probably the result of breeding work.

 

[Mick!]

White (leucistic) peacocks are not uncommon, bred for the purpose. This one’s half and half clearly.

Cleary! More obscure, but highly interesting animal kingdom education from @Mick! =-D
