Your statements and my responses:
Rico "Never ever allow slack back into the system when pulling over anything.. The rocking motion and the backwards motion in particular can and will break your hinge causing you to loose something over backwards...Do it one too many times and you will regret it."
D. Good feedback, showing good knowledge and experience, however, you do make an obvious error in this criticism. If the rock back caused failure it would have to be to the side weight. There is no chance that tree was going to go over backwards.
Rico: "A maneuver that was made exponentially more bone-headed by the fact that you were working with stone dead wood"
D. good point, but not so much a factor in hemlock as other species. Dead hemlock hinges very well, and given the absence of side lean, the rock back, while showing a systematic problem in his technique, had very little chance (close to zero) of casing failure here. So the term "exponentially" is really a mischaracterization.
Rico: "Some free insight that might save you a very hard lesson in the future. TreeBuzz is cool like that, ain't it."
D. Yep
Rico: "The spar rocked back for the simple fact that they continually allowed slack back into the system. This is usually the conclusion when asking too much from a hand pull."
D: yep
R: "the first thing they do is begin puling sideways instead of pulling in a direct line with the tagline"
D: while good policy to pull in line with the pull line, with a 3:1 system that isn't as crucial as you make it sound. Lining up more than two people on a pull line always requires a bit of logistics. The fact that they could have easily stood behind the trees and used the trees for footholds would make a whole lot more of a difference than the little bit of offset in direction of pull that you criticize. If you are going to criticize for improper pulling technique, the failure to stand behind the trees should have been mentioned at the top of the list. If you really had such superior knowledge as to call someone else bone-headed and amateur hour, you should have at least mentioned using the trees for footholds. It's simple and effective. Your failure to even mention it, suggests a lack of knowledge and experience on your part.
R. "Nothing could be more "crucial" to "performing at a high level" than NOT having your spar/log/top sitting back into its backcut"
D. total BS, far beyond exaggeration. Just a total disregard for speaking the truth. A good example of your ability to speak garbage with complete conviction. This is the way evil works in the world. Evil lies. There is a reason the devil is called the "prince of lies". In an oral tradition society, speaking the truth is one of the highest values. Your disregard for the truth would have you ostracized. Here at TB you're mouthing up like some authority, but you lie without care. Trump lies too. The fact that our country would ever consider re-electing Trump after all the lies he's been caught in, shows how far from the values of the oral traditions we have come. It's social deterioration and people like you and Trump take us further down into that chaos with every lie you speak.
