    advice on falling downhill, no rope

    I wouldn't want to have a tree cut up and then left to the pull low down in a do or die situation. It's the cut a little and pull a little that lets people get away with the lower attachment. Still, that low attachment I find worrisome. All in all, higher is safer no doubt.

    Usually a score like that the winning team's coach would get criticized for ruthlessly laying it on.

    Probably the white man massacred the injuns. Usually how it goes.

    advice on falling downhill, no rope

    One thing I've been pretty surprised about is how low you can be attached to a pull tree with very observable back lean and it still goes over as hoped for. I know it defies the rules, but watching some trees being pulled and being skeptical, skepticism was unwarranted. That's how some guys...

    Yes, Bob, but did you notice that there is a guy from India on the team. That pretty much makes the results they've published likely. Those guys that want to can definitely be scholastic achievers. Dad and mom slave in the old country to put their son through school to have a better life, and...

    Skepticism is often warranted, but there seems a lot of jealousy among researchers in the scientific community. Someone comes up with something new and many of the other guys working in the same field have a heart attack.

    advice on falling downhill, no rope

    Seems like a tree like that can be easily done by yourself if you have something down below to attach a block to and then run your pull line back to an attachment point with puller next to where you are cutting. Easy to see how things develop. As Jerry pointed out in his book, when tight...

    advice on falling downhill, no rope

    Any reason to buy a Tirfor puller is a good one. Some on eBay currently, used is ok as they are tough, as long as not appearing much beat up. Rebuilding is a tedious chore, lots of small parts. That Tractel cable is pricey too when new, but without kinks or anything is cool.

    Sounds really good, Steve. Edge joining is tricky, you did a good job. As you mention, the angled natural edges does make for some extra difficulty gluing up. You got it covered though. They make double bar clamps where there are bars on each side of the surface being glued up. It does make...

    Lots of people do it and seem to really like it, I checked it out on the web one day. I wonder if it's illegal to watch in those states? Maybe if you said for scientific study, like the locals here say when killing whales. That's what Pete Townshend said when they found child pornography on...

    I dig those guys too, MB. They are making a commentary on some aspects of Japanese society as well, the rigidity and conformity and customs. Another good one: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/35hCo_grAqw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
