If it lands good, it is good! In all seriousness, I salute your scientific approach to dealing with your particular local species and their unique attributes. That said, I think it's a lost cause. Eucs in the US are garbage. Maybe they're awesome in they're homeland, but they're awful here...

What's the gross weight?

Kewl tree @Mick! Don't look like a fun day in gaffs! Leany trees suck! I'd probably swear less if I just sharpened my picks... Either way, Hell Yeah! How's life under the steely skies of France?

In defense of Burnham: Even I, the self professed Rope Diva, must say; Rope is cheap, compared to everything else. Also, thanks for the nifty new rope washer! I look forward to using it, once it stops raining! 🌧️

Osage Orange, a very interesting species. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maclura_pomifera One of the friends I've made here locally has the biggest and nicest I've seen in Mariposa County during my year of exploring trees here. I've been granted free access to the ranch, I just haven't taken...

Sorry @friedrich, I missed your post somehow. To answer your question...that would certainly have stopped any slippage from happening, but... First most, I was using two prusiks on two separate winching arrangements; one to advance the pull and one to capture the gain while the first was reset...

I wondered about that face cut myself. Big wood there, @Mick! Nice work.

Nonetheless, @stikine gives valuable insight to the fiber pull question.

As a general guideline we would teach that when you are constructing your hinge it should be a minimum length of 80% of the dbh and a maximum hinge thickness of 10% dbh. We called it the 80 plus /10 minus guideline. It's a good starting point for teaching new sawyers because it puts some...

PRICE DROP! $18500 OBO

anyone here ever sell equipment at an auction? kinda curious what sorta reserve price I could put on my bandit, so far zero calls about it and I need it sold preferably before the end of this month local massey/kubota dealer is 10 minutes away and has an auction every month, next ones this...

In the picture with the face-cut, are you setting up to pull against the lean or...?

That was my guess about who and why.

I think there is a component of having the pith in the hinge. "angiosperms (hardwoods) and gymnosperms (softwoods) build compensatory wood differently. Angiosperms produce tension wood on the upper side of a leaning stem, which contracts to pull it upright, while gymnosperms produce...

Me, he’s not ready for stuff like this yet.

??? Say more.

If that you or your climber, Mick?

Fiber pull has more to do with hinge thickness.

Feast or famine on the workpics. Long dead Sweet chestnut to get on the floor.
