Pro tip: the limb that scared me most on a red oak in Bakersfield turned out to be one bolt job
Was up about 40 feet on an old red oak off Haley Street when my saw pinched halfway through a big lateral limb. Felt it shift under me, so I stopped cutting and set a throw line to rig it down in two pieces. Got a 3/4 inch rope on it with a block and lowered it clean, no damage to the fence below. Anyone else had a pinch save them from a barber chair?
