Lets get this party started...

It was a big pine, but easy. Just drop everything. I was ready to toss the top in no time.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Whenever I can, I like to skip the pull-line by stripping the backside out.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I love this part...

 

[MasterBlaster]

I had a cool quicktime movie of the other pine being pulled over, but it was STILL to big at 5,711 Kb. Crap, it was only 10 secs, or so.

I can't seem to find the settings for the video part. I'll dig around in the crappy manual again.

Looking at my LED, it says HQ 320 by 240.

I found it... SQ 160 by 120! Cool! I guess I'm ready now. Just gotta find some more trees!

Dang! That made the movie length go from 6 min to 28!

I bet the quality is diminished.

I took that 'topper' to paint...

I was just trying to get that tree limb that was in the view outta the way. It was a cool drop.

 

[bottlefed89]

yea

It certainly looks like a cool drop. I'd like to get a chance to play in some of those bigger treesl. We don't have many that tall and straight here.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Small trees suk, eh?

MB how successful is stripping the back side out. How much leg=verage does it give you do you suppose. I guess it would depend on how big the limbs are and how far they reach out .Gotta have a good eye for balancing. Do you feel comfy doing it say over a house.I taught a climber a few years ago, been doing good and pretty safe, he uses this back stripping quiet alot. I hardly ever do.

Cheers!

Hello MB, I took the liberty of adjusting the original, and here's what I came up with. Great shot by the cameraman.

Hi Butch, I used the Adobe Photo Shop 7.0.

Hi Butch, I also have adobe 5.5 that I could send you, which is pretty much the same for what we do. However, I am not sure if a password was issued with it or not, but I'll find out.
