Thanks for the tour! Hope the apex predators keep a safe distance. :) We had a black bear reported in my old town and I could hardly believe it until I caught a glimpse for myself. That thing was FAST!- oceans

Yeah, like 13’ down! Probably pooped up with quite a sound as well. I just hope they brought it to you empty and clean.- oceans

@davidwyby that photo of the heavy leaner above the swing bench reminds me of all the tire swings people set up for their grandkids. Seems more often than not they choose the largest, deadest branch to tie it to. Just makes you wonder, that’s all.- oceans

The first place I ever experienced that time dilation was as a young teenager working as a carpenter. When working on multi span staging, we’d often have one 2” thick plank overlapping another 2” thick plank at the center jack. You know, it gives me pause to think of all the times I took the 2”...- oceans

Would you say that shape is due to a wider belly or smaller tip than a standard bar. I ask only because my experience with “pointy” bars is they don’t seem to plunge well or offer the same capabilities in tighter spots, ironically, as a rounder profile. It’s interesting for sure.- oceans

Never hurts to double check. Good on you for being tied in twice! Sometimes we’ll get into some real irregular trunk wood, especially with lots of coarse or exfoliating bark…anything that can snag up a nice true lanyard and/or main line path. It’s nice to confirm with someone on the ground that...- oceans

Wow, that almost looks like a harvester bar…kinda wider through the mid length, or am I just seeing things?- oceans

Looks like it declined all the way up the incline. :) Was that elbowed trunk real hollow? Looks like the whole top was a big fractal…- oceans

You know what I realize after showing some of those pics to my kids…it was taken on 0.5 zoom with an iPhone, so it’s sort of a fish eye effect. That blade armature is nowhere near as long as it appears in that pic. Longer than a standard blade, for sure, but not out of proportion like in that photo.- oceans

I believe it’s called a 4-way blade, but may also be referred to as a 2-way. It moves Up/Down and Left/Right. Very stable due to the extra length required for the Left/Right movement.- oceans

Tip over in Cleveland area
Oh man. This reminds me of a story my friend told me when he actually SOMEHOW got a smidge on his beard while handling some ropes that got crap on them. He said he checked his boots and clothes 20 times and was getting all upset about not being able to find it. Meanwhile his coworker was...
