Did this removal with Gary Albig, still climbing strong and in his early 60s.
A poor pic, sorry ol' Gare.

X10. Hey, Reg, did you ever post the helmet cam video of that removal?

Edit... Found it! Hope you don't mind, Reg.

Tom,

should have the guys on the shock loading thread under rigging watch this video. very good example of blocking down a spar..

Awesome pics everybody.

This one is from Congaree National Park in SC. We were filming up in the largest loblolly pines in the US for a NPS documentary. This shot was taken from the national champ loblolly. I was assisting the cameraman (in green helmet) up into and around the tree to get good shots of the climbers in the national champ.

Yup, I couldn't agree more. As a matter of fact, I remember watching this video from Reg a little while ago, and made one of my new guys watch it as well.

I am with you , not only does the rigging look professional the climber does too. The second pic is really good , nice shot Reg . Real nice work. I don't know X , there's still six days left . I like the snow climber picture too , that is just a great shot .

[/ QUOTE ] I like the way this thread is going Glen, but I think you oughta call time on it now. Forget the 6 days, ah who needs them. The snowman photo, he's not a member so doesn't count....nor should he be allowed to join until Jan....Mark, Tom? And no last minute entries from Australia, just ban those guys for a while. Riggs I know you holding something back, maybe I am to, or maybe I'm spent!

Gary is one of the faces on my personal Mt. Rushmore! A hero of arborculture in my world.

 

[Crazy_Jimmy]

can someone tell me how to post the picture on this post instead of putting an attachment? thanks.

 

[Sam Hodgson]

Read a few pages back jimmy I asked the same thing and got an answere

 

[theXman]

it is very easy.

In my own words.

post your reply and add the attached picture as usual.

let it be posted,

then click on your attachment in the thread.

click on that attachment web code address and click "copy".

now click on edit your post.

while editing, click on "image" and paste that code that you have copied.

then finilize your edit.


I hope this is simple terms.
