    Loads thru Pulleys, Friction, Canopy and Basal Anchors

    Absolutely. I'm pretty sure it would have failed even with lots of friction at my redirect. It was an experiment. Lol. And it failed miserably. I have a few redirects I use to get more friction. One that uses one ring and a biner. If I need retrievable I'd use the M bight. If I had used the M...

    I couldn't care less about how the glasses look, but those Oakley's do a great job. Ok.... and I do look pretty fleek. Whatever that means. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

    Just call me Picasso. The branch union was already questionable. But the "other branch" easily caught me.

    Loads thru Pulleys, Friction, Canopy and Basal Anchors

    It was a poor decision to begin with. But I REALLY wanted the perfect redirect. Lol. I just gently dropped a few feet. If it were in the crotch it would have been fine. I'll see if I can make a drawing. Or I'll take pictures next time I'm in the tree. It's in my yard. Sent from my SM-G920P...

    We have 4 of them already on various helmets. Well have 2 Protos and 2 Kasks. The new guy still gets a stinky Stein forestry helmet though. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

    Unusually large elm in SE MICHIGAN.

    Def needs some help. Did you ever get a soil analysis? Also, measure that mutha and see what it scores. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

    Throw line trick

    I can see how it would be more beneficial for a tree with a hard lean that you need to snake your rope up the topside. Or... ya know..... just basal tie and SRT that mutha. [emoji51] Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

    Aint that the truth. Ive watch a guy drag a GSW to the femur into Bayside ER. I jumped on him to apply pressure, thinking "you fucked up bringing this poor bastard to Bayside!" Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

    Tulip tree "mysteriously" dying - looking for opinions

    I did a little reading. A half gallon of vinegar is probably the reason that tree is dying. Not much you can do about it besides watering the hell out of it the flush the soil and maybe a hail mary on fertilizer. But if the leaves aren't there at all, it's probably dunzo.

    Largest Cherry Bark Oak is USA

    I don't know the typical life span though. They CAN get to be very, very old. That tree may be there longer than any of us. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

    Largest Cherry Bark Oak is USA

    Large trees can be hollow and perfectly healthy. White oaks grow much slower, and trees the same age as this (my guess is 300 years) may be much smaller. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

    Tulip tree "mysteriously" dying - looking for opinions

    It's difficult to assess the tree without eyes on it and soil analysis. We also need to see if there are any environmental factors involved. My suggestion is to hire a certified Arborist locally. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

    Loads thru Pulleys, Friction, Canopy and Basal Anchors

    I broke out a redirect today. It was inconsequential and I knew it was likely to happen. I compounded the forces by using a revolver at a steep angle on a 4" oak branch about 3 ft out. I NEVER would have made that my primary TIP, but it was good to learn the limits of a redirect without any...
