    Big dead pine has to go

    A horse panic snap, found here at a farm supply store for about $8USD, with some accessory cord can fashion a sweet BS release (surely nothing like a $90 set-up, but you get what you pay for, but cost/benefit ratio is great). We used it for the high shots we were having to do recently in the...

    Big dead pine has to go

    P.S., you might want to shave the bark off the hinge area. It will make it easier to see everything, and your bar length will not be wasted on bark. A dust mask or at least a bandana is a good idea for shaving bark.

    Big dead pine has to go

    Do what you think is best, of course, but you've never dumped that big of a tree until you've dumped that big of a tree. Someone watching from afar with a vehicle horn as a warning device or a piece of dental floss tied to you that they could tug would give you more safety. Shave the bark...

    Big dead pine has to go

    If you have a big piece of iron on it, its not like you have to beat it into submission with wedges or jack it over, just aim and pull the trigger. Do you have to make it narrower to fit into a narrow lay that you want to climb and limb it under widowmakers?
