Amazing job. One quick tip. Whenever you are out on a limb, make sure to either undercut underneath the main cut, or if you want it to tear, undercut several inches from the main cut. I got myself pinned to an oak branch when an oak branch tore and pulled on my lanyard. I had to cut my lanyard with my saw (cut through the fabric, couldn't cut the the steel with my handsaw). With the fabric sheath cut through, and some movement of still partially attached limb from the ground, I was able to get unstuck. If I had made 1 or 2 inch undercut, it never would have happened.

I like the idea of using the steel snap rather than tying a knot on every branch. Have you ever had a rope break because of the crease the snap makes in the rope? Have you ever had a limb slip out? Appreciate the feed back, thanks for the vid.
@zaccheus3 жыл бұрын
Nope, I've never broken a rigging rope or had a branch slide out. If you're worried about over loading the snap or the knot its tethered with, a half hitch on the limb reduces the stress on both. Snap also has a bit of weight to it which makes it easier to toss around.

Looks like you need to carry about a lot of details. The precise length of the rope, the attachment point, the side of the rope, the angle of the cut, the overall length of the branch, those massive heavy branches comming swinging back... lots of details. If the rope was shorter the branch could have hit you. If your legs where on the other side of the tree, the rope would have cut your legs.. Leave this to pros
