Cool vid, Gerry.
Pretty sure that is an osprey btw.
I'm surprised the bird didn't peck at him during the process.
Anyway, vids like these are exactly why for the past year or two I never go into the woods or to the beach without, scissors, wire cutters, and pliers
Haven't had a chance to use them yet

It did sink a talon in his left thumb...he was very cool and controlled as he extricated himself. Lots of folks would have panicked when the talons locked down. I think his DT's are understandable...that beak could have done some great harm. His knife seemed very sharp, too.

I couldn't have done it. But after watching it maybe I could.

M and I did the same sort of process, rescuing a screech owl from deep entanglement in bird netting we had on frames over our blueberry bushes...twice in 3 days!
I held the little bastard while M used tiny nail scissors to cut the plastic mesh free; he/she punished me several times with talon and beak, even though I wore blue palm gloves. Lot of power in those raptor tools of capture.

Thanks for this link, Gerry. A good one.
Might remind us of how really hard it can be, to just be making a barely stinkin' living.

Their goal was full of risks, and for pure love of ship and cargo they went full sail head-on into it.
"Things happened", loss of life, but that never slowed them down.

The seas were Tortured, Tortured! The hand over hand down the sail is absolutely bonkers.

Most the people I know have good intentions. But that's the people I hang with.

"most people have good intentions"
I'd like to see his source for that statement.
C'mon Dave, you should know optimist, motivational-speak like that. Wouldn't fit his role of "trying to inspire" if he actually spoke the truth (as there sure are more w/bad ones around this swamp I live in). Just saying....
