living the dream

music is not kid friendly. am gonna try to find cleaner songs that fit as well, but it hasn't happened yet

I forgot to mention originally that all the rigging was done on the Omni block. And my speedy ascents were made possible by the powerscender.

Great vid Mac

 

[macswan]

Thanks gents

Nice vid Mac!

At like the 2:30 mark, are you keeping your base tie, pulling your tail out of the bone and then re-threading it through to switch working ends?

yep, don't have to bother the groundie. it was base tied to an adjacent tree

 

[Steve Connally]

Did you just put a bunch of slack in it and dos you switch at that point to a canopy anchor?

 

[macswan]

When I get up to my base anchor I just pull my tail up thru my device and anchor point and then canopy anchor with the tail. This is a removal trick, so I can just leave a short retreival tail to pull down from the next cut. My base anchor is twenty feet away from the base of my tree and I have 200' of rope, so I don't generally have to worry about that end causing problems by still being attached to another tree.

I used that today Mac after watching your vid during my morning Personal Time. Nice move!
Sometimes way easier to pull rope from runner and feed it. I also used the redirect slip knot over whole device thing today.
So, uh, i guess...thanks for the moves

 

[MikePowers321]

I tend to bother my groundman and make him pull all the rope up to me with the runner attached to my swing chesty, but I do like this little trick. I'll have to check it out. Thanks Mac

Nice job Mac. You didn't one hand it at all. Was that a big leaf mag?

That was a beech sir. And thank you for noticing, I make a concerted effort.

I'm sure it was a bitch but what kind of tree was it? Ha ha. Sorry, that sounded funnier in my head.

 

[macswan]

I was teeing that up for you buddy

Thanks Mac we're not alone

Nice work Macswan
