That was great!

You are an example to us all!

Fluffy, Fluffy, Fluffy.......always make sure your climbing line is secured. I usally gather about 20 feet and tie an alpine butterfly under that. Then biner that to yourself or around a near by limb before releasing my climbing line from its tip. Glad you are okay and had a cell signal.

Monkeylove! I edited my original post to include the disclaimer that this didn't actually happen. The idea stemmed from the fact that I did almost drop my rope once because I didn't tie a knot on both ends like you suggested. I get a lot of first time tree climbers visiting my channel so I thought this would be an amusing way to teach them to never climb without a backup. Haha. I guess my weird sense of humor may have been lost in translation

If I had actually got stuck in a tree, I would be too embarrassed to post it on TreeBuzz.

That's a good instinct.

Though it is always good to share the stupid/dangerous things we do. Awakenings is the thread I have learned the most from here.

YES! Hahaha. Of all the videos I've edited this year I never laughed as hard as I did when I finished that scene. I am so happy that you found it just as humorous!

Sure wish I could set a rope that easily.

lonniels · Dec 16, 2014

Someday you might "forget" to take food into the tree, and could call for a pizza.

Glad to see you're having fun up there! It's nice to see someone "getting it" and enjoying time up in the office. Climb safe and keep learning!
