Sweet gum cabling advice?

Hi all,
I’ve been lurking around here for a few years now, and finally have a question for you.

You don't have to wait until you have a question. We take comments, jokes, satire, sarcasm, Thumbs-up, etc, too.

I didn't get to meet Brock but I did mark the branches to be cut with my laser pointer. Unfortunately he couldn't see them when he got home.

You need to service your pointer.

 

[sotc]

Apparently

It would probably be much easier to pee in a jar yourself, than trying to get a coyote to do it.

o i dunno; just get it good and drunk and no problem

so whats gonna happen to those rubbing branches?

Thanks Sean, too bad my wife only lets me have the mustache seasonally. I’ll have to check out the movie!
Thanks again for stopping by Willie, maybe I’ll see the burn marks you left the next time I’m up in the tree. I’m thinking if you get that pointer serviced right, you could have made the cuts for me from the ground. (maybe someday)
As far as the rubbing branches treelooker, I don’t know? Sounds like some people thought bracing would be good, others didn’t. I guess they’ve been that way for a long time without issue…
On a side note, I’m going to start training coyotes to climb and pee on command. I’ll let you know how it goes!

My money would be reducing end weight on what looks to be leader "E", no bracing.
