Ha, I once got everything rigged up, groundies on the porty, let the piece go, and it sailed to the ground, I hadn't checked to make sure the rope actually went through the block...spring cheek, I think it slipped out befoer I got the cheek back up and in place and I missed it...luckily no target below...just didn't want the pieces bouncing down a hill into the next garden.

So reminds me of the 3/4 tenex I had break while rigging oak lead over a fountain. It held long enough for it to be straight then it accordianed into a pile at the base not touching the fountain. I felt bad but lucky that day. As many bucket user know its always ten feet short!

Whats the point of Luck,if you never get to use it.

And at least push the block to the side of the crotch, not just over it.
I don't want to dismiss that, but luck lacks a little of reliability.
Time to time, I'm very happy to use it though!

It can be a real circus out there...
A lot of folks just say, Fake it til you make it...
It's tough out there.

This guy has pictures all over his web site that clearly aren't him...When he was confronted about using other peoples photos for his site he was just like, 'yeah so what?' Here is his second foray into the tree forums.

Sounds like half the guys I bid against. Doesn't even make me flinch anymore.

He wants to catch a 40 foot top with a rope rated to 3100 pounds? That doesn't sound like it could have a good ending.
