For many species, that wouldn't work. But it sure did work fine there.

I'm thinking a snowmobile might serve you best :D.

You are welcome, my friend.

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.

Neat looking machine. I like that track arrangement.

I think that is true for either the Humbolt or the conventional face. No other way it could be.

But are you not getting out of tree work, as of recent posts from you? That rig is great, too bad on your timing.

Nicely done.

That would have been more appropriate for this task as well :). My personally owned gear is much lighter than what I had to call on in my working life...I was bringing a knife to a gunfight with this job :D. Burned up a couple of prusiks and glazed the main line when the prusiks slipped a bit...

Here are some pics. We have started working on it...I was able to buck and flop the root plate back in place, more or less. I ran out of steam and daylight on Saturday, left the thing tensioned and I felt like it was getting fairly close to tipping point. Woke up the next morning to see it...

That is too much saw for normal human beings to operate aloft :).

No, mine was a pre-Jeep Jeep :). Like this... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willys_Jeep_Station_Wagon

It seems there is never enough room in machines these days, to actually work on them. The last rig I owned that had really good space under the hood was my 1953 Willys wagon :D.

That one was tired, Rajan. I think you got your money's worth out of it :).

How are things standing with the bike these days, Kave?

You live in one weird place, David :). The pics of that canyon with the catwalk and sycamores were great.

I only mention the Trump administration because of the current issues federal employees are experiencing and how Presidio employees might want to be clear-eyed about that situation, Brian. I cannot see where I said anything to make you think I am calling him evil. Any administration on either...

I don't play it, but my sister and one nephew are addicted. There are certainly worse habits to have :).
