Emergency Tree Removal

. The other part is the tail of his rope, whenever I'm letting something fly in a slightly explosive way I try to redirect the tail out of the work area...

Redirected right into the rope bag on my hip.

Seems that its only a matter of time before a falling piece snarls in the dangling rope.

Evo, IIRC, has a falling branch snag and stick on the thimble on the bottom of his lanyard (possibly flipline).

The only time tree work ever is "emergency" is when 911 is called. We do dont get dispatched through 911.

Good point there was not even a target. (no target, no hazard) Good thing they got it done quickly. I guess bills can sneak up on you?

How is that 99% luck? Sure it does not conform with the way the "industry people" would do it but viewed on face value, looks like a lot of skill and coordination to me. I applaud that climber, that was badass!

Rope flipline with a stopper knot. HUGE hemlock witches broom, pieced it out to one mass of small stubs. Heavier than I am, and sucked me in to the laynard support. It sucked, but not close to life threatening. If it was a little heavier, and a wire core, I'd be stuck in a bad way.
