Love this very articulate response Reg. Live to Inspire

Call me reckless, but I use one Halfhitch on all the limbs except the terminal limb which I use a snap for. Of course it's quite important to make sure the half hitch binds right with its orientation because it's the weight of the limbs down the line pulling against the half-inch that guarantee...

Yep, Reg, finishing with the two half hitches was the amen I was pointing out when I told my tree over deck story. . .

Exactly

Mailbox prolly deserved it

For me, almost exclusively a locking steel snap (I like the heft of it for throwing). Half hitch ahead of it when necessary.

Excellent writing, I feel quite well understood in this group.

Glad it wasn't over you when it squirted out.

Wow

Hear hear, brilliant and eloquent truth.

I didn't mean to kick off a confessional, I was only relating my experience with negative rigging logs via Clovehitch and agreeing that the way Reg did it was one key to avoiding disaster.

"Now it feels great" ROFL

Yeah, and a bitter "during" taste.

LOL @ "cue an army of power company trucks" ROFL! That really cracks me up, probably because I know the feeling. But I will save my power company army story for later. Pain and embarrassment have taught me well.

Thanks : ) Actually I was at least 80 ft up at the time and had to finish out the rest of the spar with a big dark cloud of demoralization hanging on me, like when I was a kid, and my mom told me in church that I was getting a spanking when I got home.

Great vid Reg. The two safety's (half hitches) you tied on the line after that clove hitch are key to that style you used. Years ago, working in Seattle over a million dollar home on a fir surrounded by a deck that had glass railings, I had a 500 pounder blow out a clove hitch while negative...
