August Hunicke Videos

Holy shit August! That kind of stuff scares the crap out of me. Luck... or grace. But thank god! There's city parks around here that I won't let my kids use due to hazard trees. With your permission I will be using this video to push a little harder to get something done. I've even offered my services for free in the past. Thanks for the post!
 
Okay John, let me list it again though in HD. It will take me a while (Perhaps tonight). It will remain unlisted though so… I guess I don't want to upset the city should they see it public like that on the Internet.

I understand completely your motivation for leaving it unlisted. Thanks again for posting and for your time. Much respect.
 

Here is a new video, to those who are waiting for T-shirts (MacSwan) don't give up on me, I have a new order pending.

As always these videos are a credit to our industry. I really enjoy watching them all. I'll be getting a shirt for sure.

I like the subliminal message! You are on a good path Hunicke.
 
Redirecting the zip line with another strap is pure genius! Saves having to move the zip line a million times, love it.

A downside with redirects or setting multiple slings at once is right there at 2:30. Had the line been going direct to the highpoint rather than the next intended limb, it wouldve been much easier to free the snagged/stalled branch just by pulling the line, which would raise it considerably. Same principle goes for swinging/raising limbs from the back of the tree out to the front, as the highpoint creates an MA of sorts and the ability to create lift. As it was set, the best that could be done was just bounce the line or slack it off to free such a stuck branch in the vid. Not a big deal for Augusts pine tree here, but something to consider went setting setting multislings nonetheless. Always great vid and work August, I'll pass on the bling though.
 
In this case, the high point was way forward and would have instantly let so much slack into the speed line that I got a greater advantage by keeping the line tight at the height that it was. In other words, it would have snagged much worse as it dropped hard down the backside of the tree into the hedge.
