Is treestuff kicking down the rope or is it on you?

How are we going to tally the votes? When does voting stop?

Here's my favorite from the year.

I wasn't comfortable with the rigging line tag running through a biner on his saddle but maybe that is more common than I know. However it did not stop me from watching it 5 times. Great vid and that dude is having a blast.

 

[NE Tree]

I had to watch 5 or 6 of his other videos after that one

This one is my favorite, love all of august hunicke videos but I watched this one 20 times compared to only 10 times for all his other vids.

That was merely a retrieval line, and nicely set up with a pinto pulley to help it to run free

I was spooked by it initially, but after a couple watched I'm on board. I think I will use that for sure, I had havin to try and have the rig line flicked back to me in spreading trees. Cool use ! That guy was awesome

All the videos here are going to be amazing - another one you've probably seen...

 

[Steve Connally]

My personal favorite.

 

[Z'sTrees]

My personal favorite.

Why is the climber riding with the load an a couple of those picks?

 

[Steve Connally]

Dead Tree and no TIP from what I remember. I believe its allowed if it's the safest means to accomplish the task. I'm pretty sure I remember this being discussed on here a few years ago.

 

[Z'sTrees]

That's sort of what I figured, watched the video on my phone and couldn't see the details too well. I've never ridden with the load but I have cut th piece free while tied in to the crane and descended from there. Similar situation of a dead tree that I did not trust...

 

[John Uselding]

One of my many favorites.
