    TCIA WTF?

    That is a clear contradiction in phrasing. Good catch.

    Rope grab recommendations for rigging

    that would be the Gibbs or similar, which do not release under load.

    TCIA WTF?

    There is, but I don't think that they are legally required to do that here. I could be wrong, but I think that you forfeit any claim to your words when you post them in a public forum. It's no different than posting on twitter, and news outlets routinely quote those and other social media posts.

    Possible damage from impact of felling a large tree close to a house.

    100% When in doubt, piece it out.... or at least get them to sign a waiver.

    Rope grab recommendations for rigging

    If quick on/off is critical, AND you want max strength retention, AND releasable under load, then you'll be hard pressed to beat a prusik

    Rope grab recommendations for rigging

    other than the quick on/off factor, a Zillon does all of that really well

    Bark receding about 1' up around entire base of silver maple

    I have seen gopher do that to young trees, but never on anything with bark

    Using canola oil for bar lube - oiling issues now. Never in the past

    My logger buddies always told me that gas was the cleaner of choice for basically everything on a chainsaw.

    Bark receding about 1' up around entire base of silver maple

    I initially read it as 1". That much missing is a death sentence nearly every time, although I have see some eucs survive a flock of sheep that had done that level of damage. I wouldn't trust that silver maple to last very long though.

    Fu*%face Von Clownstick

    That assclown is even more out of touch than the TCIA

    I love that idea with the biner on a sling, choked to the branch to keep the rope from running into the crotch!! That's so simple, I can't not use the shit outta that.

    I agree 100%, I was just presenting a most extreme example. I would probably run a stretchier rope like an arbormaster or true blue, but otherwise just as you described.

    I'm imagining you just pulling the GRCS out of the bucket to do a bit of self rigging aloft and it's a fun image.

    TCIA WTF?

    That's it right there. I love having my balls fondled, but you do need my consent before you reach around or else it becomes a violation of my personal space instead of a loving gesture, regardless of your intentions.
