You ve just got always know where the kick back quadrant is and where it is going.

Yep so true.You also gotta watch your lines and know where they are.

That is true and obviously the saw ropes relationship. GM should assist in that as part of his job and at times be asked to pay more attention.

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.

Yes, I'm aware there are MANY people out there that work trees alone. Just means you have to be EXTRA SUPER CAREFUL and if a shortcut presents to you in your face, don't take it. Thats my take and opinion on working by yourself...

I don't take shortcuts on anything,it almost always leads to an accident and shows poor workmanship and it shows you have no pride in your work.
