Lol Ekka, you caught me out!
I don't have foot plates at the moment and lately my spurs have been making my arch ache so I left stubs to ease my feet on nice purches, but when we took down a big limb it got hung up on one of the stubs and I had to climb back down to loosen it the limb off
.

Whenever im on a pole on spurs, as well as flipline i set my climbline with VT still attached on a running bowline with a long tail. Allows you to kick out and hang in the harness to give your feet a break, great while getting a refuel etc. Also allows you to descend down say 10 foot sections at a time and retrieve the line and reset rather than climb downwards on spurs. I hate that, most unnatural feeling in a tree for me. Sorry if ya already know what i'm talkin about.
Nothing good can come from leaving stubs
, they always come back to haunt you.
Ekka, i think you had a vid clip of this somewhere else???
