Most times when I'm chunking, I get a groundy to spot me and on the big wood I ALWAYS make sure i've got their attention. (Throwing a small log at them usually helps)

Groundy has a BIG duty of care whilst the climber is in the tree, if the climber somehow kills himself cause' he cut his lines while chunking, you can bet that the groundies balls are going to get anywhere from burned to CUT OFF by Work Cover.
