LITTLE STUB CATCHES BOWLINE

X, just a typical removal, with a typical rig. It's real easy to get bored when it becomes so easy. Maybe you should stick to the hard stuff before you hurt yourself.

Are you training any guys on climbing? I would hope you would.

I just figured you were being lazy and figured tie it here, cut here, climb less. And then something interesting happened (STUB CATCHING) and your A.D.D. kicked in and you sprang into action. Just keep that Helmet cam Rolling you never know.

Your welcome X... hey thanks putting it out there... also, it's weird to start realizing (after all this time) that your not perfect. Come on man lets see some more vid.

On that topic: I hope to edit and put out a LOT from now until the TCIA baltimore expo in November.

As of today, I purchased a booth at the show, therefore, I better show our work and try to get recognized more.

At the show, I will be showing some new products under the business name Xtreme Arborist Supply Inc.

I will release the videos of the new products here on tree buzz before the show.

I will also be sending some free tools to fellow tree buzzers.
 
Xtreme Arborist Supply Inc., I didn't know you had another business. Are you a distributor? What are some of the new products you have?

Anyway, I'll be there... and I'm hoping to at least come over and grab that poster you promised me.

You know, this is making me think, I'll take the time to get a cut just right on what I think is challenging, but so many things that I don't think are challenging (like this peice), maybe I'm not putting much care into them anymore. I put this out to share with others, to help others, but I think you all have helped me as well. Thanks everyone.

Sounds like an early recognition of complacency.. It creeps... until one day you have the thought that "this must be safe becasue I've done it a thousand times and never got hurt"... when in fact the reason you never got hurt is becasue you weren't thinking like that..

I think there is far too little training and focus on good cutting technique amongst suburban arbs in the USA.. I've seen phenomenal climbers continue to make horrendous cuts, year after year, and not really care to improve their game in that area, when they spend so much time and money on climbing technique and gear..

Don't take that wrong.. I don't mean that your cut was horrendous... like you said, you just got a little sloppy with the back cut.. However if you do that a couple thousand times over the course of a career, the odds are that something worse than what we just saw will happen.... eventually..

stay safe everyone!

Just one more thought to put out on this point... having a system helps to keep from making mistakes on the "mundane" tasks/cuts, etc.. Its like tying your shoes.. you do it the same every time, in a certain order etc... so its second nature... nothing to think about, and nothing to go wrong..

Well this is a little embarrasing .. I did nearly the same thing today , except I was pushing over 5' sections of spruce trunk, bombing... low back cut on the far side caused the hinge to seize. I just could not push it over by hand... then the narrow notch kept the piece from leaning forward enough to fight the back weight of the limbs (that won't happen again), and I let go, rather than than easing the piece back on the cut.. it had enough backwards momentum to trip backwards, which wouldn't have been bad, except the low side of the back cut held and ripped casuing the piiece to go back on a 45º angle and just barely miss the neighbor's cut leaf Jap maple (a very expensive little tree).. second cut monday morning.. hurrying, showboating and looked so foolish.. 2-3' more and the tree would have been totalled.. You should have seen the look on the contractor's face, like "WTF was that!!!!????)

Eating humble pie and giving all that good advice to the mirror.. How was your day?
