Using my newly created Ameristep/ amsteel steps with the timber hitch. I set three steps to pull a card. My top step let go and I slid down the tree. With only a tree burn on my arm and a rapid heart rate as a result, I landed safely on the next step down. I figured for sure the timber hitch let go. It did not. (No pun intended).
My bury was only 4” or so. I think the amsteels strength has lulled me into this short bury. And I know better as I use this chinese finger method on my big game fishing gear. I changed everything to 12” minimum. Im also thinking of a locking stitch. I am in Ohio Monday and Tuesday. I will be pulling many cards and setting many cameras. I trust my new burys will hold. Just wanted to let you guys know so it doesn’t happen to anyone else. 12” burys from now on.
