Default Re: Tree-to-Ground Guying

There should be noone camping at the end there at all, that was the advice over 12 months ago and the advice I documented in my report 1 month ago!

No campers, no target....the cabling will take the limb structure back against the tree in the event of failure and it will end up exactly where the tent is!!! The whole area currently being used for sites (against best advice) should be fenced (low horse rails will do) decompacted mulched and PHC put in place....but as we all know you can tell a mug just can't tell him much!!!

Tree owners will in the end do as they wish despite all our efforts.
