[bonner1040]

Here is the video I did on the retention line. It didnt all go as we intended but our plan, rigging, and equipment choices ensured a desirable outcome.

Duanes probably a good tree man but that cut sucks.

How were you supposed to get all that chit outta there without the AT??

 

[bonner1040]

Ball cart, or by hand.

I might have minamalist thinking, but I would call that an acceptable conclusion, all in all. Possibly avoid the bc next time.

You can never have too many ropes on it!

4:35... hinge too thick.. back cut too low.. only way to get good is to learn from your mistakes.. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the feedback everyone. It doesnt always go just like you envision it, but planning and redundancy make the difference. If anyone wants to really know how it should have been done check TreeBuzz, the guys over their figured it out.

Nick,
I have been fascinated by this video.. there is so much interesting stuff to learn and inquire about.. they're just scratching the surface at TB... That is the beautiful thing about video.. so much to learn anytime something unexpected happens.. I love that!
