I agree; there have been quite a few things that I tried because I got exposed to it here...or had been aware it could be done but because I saw folks here pull it off it gave me the confidence to try it (spear cutting limbs is a good example). The other part of "conversations and threads...

Hahahaha..."check with the insurance company" first!!! Great imagery there on jumping that spar. I would love to see that video but would not want to be any part of it!!!:\:

Thanks, Ryan. As long as I can keep up with the grandkids I'm doing OK.

Sean, there was not much room at the base of the spar...it was tight enough that I felt I might be trapped if something was going wrong. Paul, yep, he did a fine job with the ropes...even sent up some quick releases when sending gear up..and was able to clove hitch water bottles so none...

Hahahaha...I love you, too.:lol:

Thanks, Jon...we did have a good time...no pressure besides "don't break anything...me or the house". When I was squirming around on my buttocks towards the end when I didn't have any good TIP's left and I was on that swooping angled limb I thought of Bermy and how she said It was a creep...

Thanks, Burnham...I am sure you noticed that I had to restart my face cut to get the apexes right. What with Humboldt's, wedges, leaning spar, good PPE and all, you and a lot of the Housers were with me throughout the job. My thanks to folks for input that helps educate all of us. Is my...

I'm glad to share with folks who can appreciate...and, yep, Jack, the amount of gear used got his attention. It got mine because we had to hump it down and back up those stairs on the hillside. About speedlines...my cousin set one up himself when he built the house. He set up a zip line to...

Yep, my cousin was good about keeping the camera handy..that tree will be one for the memory banks. Stig, regards speedlining. It crossed my mind but I think it would have taken longer in this case. We were able to float several largish limbs out past the deck and that helped speed things up...

Thanks...tricky, tedious, tough at times. Like lots of trees, I guess. The House is yours...bedtime for me!!

Oh...forgot to mention that I did use 3 wedges..at first at the stair side of the back cut and then on the back side to get 'er moving, too. Apparently the spar slipped thru the slot without an lateral scraping...I hope I don't run into any more like that...don't want to push my luck.:)

I thought about posting this in the Work Thread but decided it is weird enough I'd give it a life of it's own. My cousin has a lakehouse in TN. I got to visit with him some at a recent family get together in S. GA where we spend several days in a swamp netting fish and then have a big cookout...
