With all the time I spend in school, espically in study hall, my mind wanders and I get to thinking about various aspects of tree climbing and cutting and I've come up with a few questions.
First, on a horizontal limb, or mostly horizontal. If I'm trying to swing it sideways with a face cut, and want to keep it from breaking off right away, I would leave more holding wood on top right, to keep it attached the longest.
Second, can someone on here offer some advice on my VT here. I'm been experimenting with the shorter cord, but I can't seem to get it right, where it'll self tend and catch. Or is it one of those things that I just have to keep experimenting with?
EDIT: Also, do I have my crosses messed up?? It seems my rope likes to twist a lot, and I didn't know if that has to do with the VT?
