I will sometimes, though not regularly at all, pull a plug or tip a muff to the side if I am thinking I want to hear the tree give me some audible feedback during a questionable fell...a heavy leaner would be a reason. But I'm pretty much always wearing hearing pro full time with any noisy...

That's in the Willamette Valley, Oregon. Maybe Eugene or Corvalis, iirc?

It's a willow...no great loss if it dies :D. But I bet it won't...they are really hard to kill.

Yup, losing your hearing is no fun. I hate it. The hearing aids help but are not a cure for the lost acuity. It is now and will always be an invisible barrier of lesser or greater magnitude between me and my beloved, and the rest of the world as well.

Then I'm gonna be in trouble if I ever get pulled over. We collect interesting rocks all the time.

That's certainly not in the dynamic range, for traditional values. Semi-static...it's on the low end, but accurate in my view. Colorful, it surely is...but pretty? Maybe a little less so :D. Seen plenty of ropes that are worse looking.

@Kaveman, might you put a platform across the top of the bed rails for a sleeping/camp stove/rest out of the weather spot with sitting headroom, and cover the bed with an ultra-simple canopy? Maybe a set of bows or A-frames made from schedule 40 pvc and cover the whole thing with tarp?

I rather expected lower temps, from your perspective. 25 is getting to cold, but in the thirties seems to be just sorta coolish, to me :).

So...where does cold officially start, for you :)?

:lol:

I had the same thought, @CurSedVoyce. People do the damndest things :D.

Following on what John observed...the difference in the tree climbing gear we have today compared to 2000? Stunning amount of innovations and changes in the way many of us do the work. I'd bet there's been more changes in the last 25 years than in the 150 years before that.

I think you spelled heebie jeebie mo betta than I did, @CurSedVoyce :D.

I need to look this product up...no hands in and out, eh?
