I don't know, somehow those two words, "bite me" were pretty darn perfect. Didn't take much effort to write and got to the point. Shows he didn't want to waste time on you.
 
Is this the "Joke and Funny Picture Forum"?

OOPS, sorry ... that's over 'there' on the dark side ... er, dark site ... er, other site ...

Reconcile those two statements.

Are you like, done now? You know everything and you've moved on and now you're trying to help us poor backward wretches into the 22nd century?

...but we can't learn because WE think we know everything?

Hysterical.

I have no doubt you will achieve the fame you seek, self promoters usually do... but you're showing videos of mediocre, sometimes fairly competent treework. But I know Michael Jordan, I bought a car from his dealership once. And you Daniel... are no Michael Jordan.

Look at those statements up there again. Can you reconcile them? Do you already know so much you can't learn anything?

Have a good one, Pal. Feel free to send me a PM so that I can copy and paste it on this thread.

that's a WIN. Pretty sure.

But then what do I know, being of Armenian descent and not really inclined to team sports I'm more Garry Kasparaov than Michael Jordan. Pal.
 
If I understood properly, one of the overhead rigging lines for the floating anchor (or both for some amount of time, before being reset) was natural crotch rigged. How much, if any, damage occurred to that crotch on the indestructable tree from the anchor rope sawing back and forth with that dynamic loading?

I can see signs of a rope going back and forth over a natural crotch from ascending on SRT, and that's minorly dynamic loading with a much smaller impact force.

Did you set the ropes through the natural crotch with some type of tube style cambium saver?

Will cambium damage mean more work in the future?

How did you access the anchor rope to reset it? Were the oaks indestructible enough to withstand being spiked to reset the rope? Not a charge, just an open-ended question. I haven't seen you doing any spikeless climbing, so I'll ask.

You're a little boy scout Sean. Manuals and all..
I've never spiked a non-removalk in my life..
I know how to footlock..
 
Putting aside the depravity we so love, I must submit, after this post, Daniel should be banned or at least ignored for the simple act of being an A-hole. The car-wreck fun no longer outweighs the impact of insults to real arborists like Sean. Free speech sucks when it's the same blowhard tooting his egomaniacal horn over and over.

I for one will not engage Daniel anymore. The guy is a total egomaniac/sociopath that obviously needs stroking. I thought that his recent post about the GRCS near-miss was an admission of humanity, but once again, I gave an animal the benefit of the doubt. Oops. I keep saying I'm not going to do that!

Cheers to all of you except Daniel.

I didn't say you spiked it, you didn't specify. I commend you if you've never spiked a non-removal.

So, are you dodging the real question of how did the loading on the natural crotch rigging affect the keeper tree, or was it protected in some way? I think that its a fair question.

Why were they removed? Another fair question from many posters. Enquiring minds want to know.

Sean,
I've been natural crotch rigging since before you were born. That is all we used to do back in the day. ANd I have never seen a tree suffer ill health from natural crotch friction. Sure we've all seen wear. But outer signs of wear does not translate into a decay or death.

Your questions have implications... Well if you're gonna use such
boy scout ethics here.. lets see the science behind it.. Where is the science that shows natural crotch rigging can damage or hurt a thick barked tree, like those white oaks..

Find it and maybe Tom D, the scout master around here, will see fit to give you another merit badge..

HAHA
 
Bullshit Daniel, you were an an un-confident greenhorn 3 years ago on AS. Don't try adding years onto your career like you're some old hand, you're LYING. You're barely competent, period.
