2 morrow

[darkstar]

well tomorrow may bring death ... how many of you tree men are happy doing what you do ??? im lovin it ... sometimes we got to go the distance for what we do or love right ?? ........... tomorrow i got a tree that no equipment can reach .... huge dead oak broken about 20 feet up with a 40 foot top plus 4 foot dia. log plus....big limbs all slammed into a small ie... 60 foot hickory which is kepping the huge oak from crushing the house ... there are several trees nearby to rope off of but not that close ie. 40 feet......... i plan on using them all .... still worse possible case .... the tree falls........ 'or slides' [even worse] and i take the plunge off a near by tree ..... looking at a near ground swing and a hard slam no matter what .... i use screws to attach me to the mega dangerous trees so if the tree starts to fall the screww will pull and ill ride it out on the near by tree ........or not so near by tree uggg .... where my safety line is set .... hmmmm.... im sure i can pull it off but this one is a doesy .. ......... hey it our job right ........... wish me luck and skill and say a prayer for this one ......thanx jerr

Good luck with your operation tomorrow. Be safe and be careful and take your time. Big obstacles are great oppurtunities. Oh yeah, make sure you priced the job high enough to compensate for your extra worrying

And learn to use paragraphs!

And consider running a highline between two nearby trees and hanging your climbing line more directly overhead so that you can forget that swing to turf/ride to pain or death scenario. :angel:

your scenario seems a little sketchy ie i am having difficulty drawing an image in my head of exactly what you are having to deal w/, but it sounds like a good day! have fun be safe. take it easy
