Coconut removal full of carpenter ants, they didn't like me they didn't taste very nice either Tried to make the job go quicker by speed lining the head down to the truck, but that didn't work anywhere near as well as I had hoped...nothing broken no damage just took me 15mins to get all the rigging set up then decided to use a control/tag line through the porty at the bottom of the trunk..another 10mins...would have been quicker for me to cut the darn thing into discs and throw them at Steve, just kidding mate, into the truck.

So lesson learnt today....think things through properly before you climb up a pole and lay out what you know you'll need and what you might need, just like in Ekkas vid, saves a lotta time and frustration...esp when you're being eaten alive by ants, man they hurt when they bite your eyelids, only have photos of the early part of the set up sorry.

Me up a pole


Now how do you tie that knot?


About now I'm thinking yep this was one of my better ideas...not


No photos of the head on the line sorry but this is kind of how it looked
