Butch, in the third pic, it looks like the guy is walking on that power line.

Nick, you're becoming quite the stalker. I notice you only stalk people in warmer climates though. :)
 
There's two, pretty hard to see though. Both below loopie. A lanyard and then climbing line choked below. You can see it a little better here.

I said this in another forum, and I'll say it here, again. IMO, having both lifelines so close together defeats the purpose of a double tie-in. Actually, that makes it only one tie-in, then. Not so safe, keep them buggers separate! See my avatar?
 
Two methods of tying in provides a double tie-in, the short distance between them would only matter if the reason for failure was cutting through them on the surface of the tree somehow. In your current (as of this post) "avatar" your second is way too low. If you somehow lost your lanyard you'd fall at least two feet before it would catch you. It would be better than hitting the ground, for sure, but hardly a favorable situation nonetheless.

How is it not so that you'd fall 2' into your life-line if you lost your lanyard?
 
Geez, Glen. You just don't get it, do you?

I've fallen way more than 2 feet, and my rigging's saved me, more than once. With barely a scratch.

Oh, I get it. You don't get that I get it.

About that other thing, well, it helps explain some things... HAHAHA!
 
Before and after of the first of 37 neglected and abused apples I pruned today. They varied in size and treatment-I intended to take more pics but got to the job and realized that my dinky little excuse for a digital camera was almost full.-At least I remembered it- I had a big, dramatic elm prune yesterday and left it at home. :rolleyes:
