I appreciate that.
The JayD device is formally on the table. It will be given the same scrutiny, critique and forward thought as any other contender.
For those who don't know JayD he is one of the more ingeniucal dudes here and can fabricate just about any object that mankind can conceive. In other words JayD has the right tools and a set of skills that makes me take a rather serious look at a prototype JayD puts out there.
We will weave the
JD (Jumar-Descender?) in and out of the thread.

My apologies. The tree business has me pushed to the physical limits these days. It is Fall, when the season changes from primarily pruning to primarily takedowns (jobs deferred when it was too hot to do them). The change of season I'm talking about is what's casually known as "Can you deadwood my oak before the leaves fall off" season. There's an over lap between the "primarily takedowns" and "Can you deadwood my oak before the leaves fall off" season. The last couple weeks has been a tree man's dream, big and bad as it comes, lots of air time, putting the current hardware (ATC Guide) to the test and capturing some photos for your eyes.
I am beaten and pummelled by our work, but alas, that is just a lame-ass excuse. TM needs to suck it up, process the images, and move this thread along. Jay D, thank you for the kick in the butt and your contribution. Some of the images are hard-earned, the use of the device in the tree, where either someone needs to take a picture of me (challenging, when you work alone), or I carry the camera into the tree (challenging in it's own way).
