Nobody on the ground wears brain buckets : that's because the customers (2 men and 1 woman) were told not to entry the work site...but my climbing mate asked them for one piece to help pulling it inton the garden.....
It was impossible to drop something out off the tree into their brains anyway...only water under.
My climbing mate wich I hired for rigging work allways works without helmet. It''s his own responsibility and for me I respect his personal choice not to wear a helmet, alltough it is not safe. My company is a one mans company and I hire people for climbing, rigging, chipping etc.
And if they want to do things their own way it isn't my problem, just frustrating sometimes when colleages mess with safety issues...
The knot is indeed the timber knot en you tie it in loosly to set it after making all these wraps. Thats a perfect knot to hold the wood.
The chiansaw was sharp untill I cut trough a rotten piece off wood with an old nest (crow) on top off it and sand got to mess up my chain.
The pulley is from ISC and it is an rigging pulley that I use for easy rigging as well as the retired climbing line. The big block and heavy riggingline just would have been overkill for this little pieces.
My tip if you paid good attention was rigged on 2 sucker tops.
contour willow 7 It would have been a really dangerous job if I had my tip any lower. The last bit I used one tip on a sucker top to maintain position without having to fight gravity on only my lanyard.
hope that clears all up.
climb safe
