    Rigging ring as primary rigging point for negative rigging.

    He can act like one in person too... he's a bit of a micro manager, though I can't really fault him as that's a character flaw of mine as well. I had a near miss with a freak accident when he mixro managed my position before he madeva cut... I was down doing some video taping at x week...

    Stump clean up efficiency

    if you don't plunge cut

    I gave up climbing over 10 years ago... You will never see a post from me about such things... The point is that it's important to become familiar and comfortable with plunge cutting, because it has benefits, including safety benefits, in many scenarios. You don't want to wait until you...

    Stump clean up efficiency

    Temporary rope cable to climb above a bad codom in a catalpa

    I often just use an old piece of lowering line to support a co-dom when I'm up there doing something else... charge em an extra 100 and tell them that it's probably good for a few more years..
