    I got it. I had a stub of a limb deep into a lawn. I had some 3/4 bull line handy. Threw a clove hitch around it and tied it to the truck and pulled it out of the ground. LOCKED.

    Boss man, the same clove hitch you've described in your book to a T, I have ONCE locked up tighter then fort knox. Now, in all fairness, I was doing something odd with it. It wasn't rigging. Ill have to think what it is I was doing that caused this.

    I locked a clove hitch BAD last year. Used a punch and hammer to get it undone. Must have loaded it wrong.

    Pros Cons - When and When Not To

    Ive said before, and shall say again, I natural crotch the great majority of my work. My ropes last too. Groundman dictates how fast they burn out. I prefer a cloud of smoke not puff out of the rigging crotch.

    I couldn't agree more. The meanest climbers I know are all in their 50's.

    Pros Cons - When and When Not To

    Tree work and rigging is far less complicated than some guys are trying to make it. Most trees can come down quickly and efficiently the same way it was done 20 years ago.

    This sums up my bag of tricks.

    Pros Cons - When and When Not To

    I do it if the bark is smooth/wet/ going to have a delay before the bowline gets loaded up, or doesn't have a knob/nub/hump/bump/twig to keep it from moving towards the butt.

    Pros Cons - When and When Not To

    I like the clove hitch to send up my water bottle and my pole saw.

    Pros Cons - When and When Not To

    I lower with a running bowline and nothing but. I know better then to lower with clove hitches. I think Asplundh may have even outlawed them on jobs.
