The trick that can be hard for some operators on the ascendant side of experience is actually realizing when they are wading into dangerous waters. Without that, the "rethink and do whatever needs doing" that @Mick! speaks of will be hard to stumble unto. Like @davidwyby's grandpa says, "they...

You hit the nail on the head, Mick. It boggles the mind.

I can't decide if that one is sad, or funny. Both, I guess.

I actually would feel much better about that failure, knowing it was not bad material, but rather bad installation of the swage. Poor quality cable you cannot fix...poor quality assembly, you can.

You are not surprised by this revelation, I hope? :P :lol:

Outstanding!

That's plenty of radius. I think you are correct...less that top grade cable is likely the culprit.

What was the radius of the attachment point like?

That shitshow doesn't get any prettier watching it several more times. Wow.

NOAA is much more localized than that, by a great deal. I set our location on the map and it covers about 1 square mile with my house in the center. The forecast is interpolated from data from a weather monitoring station at a local airfield just 5 air miles away, as well as broader geographic...

Good luck, Dave. If it can be done, you're the fellow with the chops to do it.

We are everyday users of the NOAA 7-day forecast.

That may well be so, but even a high-quality rope of too small dimension and/or load capacity could fairly easily be outmatched by that tree.

Dynamite comes in small packages ;).

That was a whole lotta tree. With that much weight, and perhaps some internal rot (?), maybe no reasonable hinge would have held up to the sudden shift of weight to the back cut. Obviously a much stouter pull rope was in order. For true, dumping that monster onto a road is an odd choice as well.

Doesn't increased risk of barberchairing occur with this method?

He does like to yap, doesn't he.

No tip today.

The Murph!
