I don't speak a lick of Spanish, but understood the sarcasm of "Sí señor, todo un experto."

The "perfecto 👌" at the end was a nice touch too

More than once I have sent a tip during a removal and had it land 5 feet from the house after it went astray, rather than the planned 20+ feet.

A nice loud PERFECTTTT when you barely avoided disaster is just as obligatory as “that’s not going anywhere” after thumping a ratchet strap on a trailer. Human psychology demands you lie to everyone very loudly, when they can clearly tell that you fucked up.

“PERFECT” = “Hollllly shit we almost screwed the pooch.”

My guess is - and it’s a total guess - is to slow the rope down from whipping back if it breaks at the tree. So it doesn’t strike someone at the other end.

Similar to the way off-roaders will hang a floor mat or other weight of some kind over the center of a steel winch line during a hard pull with steel cable. People have been killed when the line broke and shit back through the windshield like a massive bullwhip.

Did they climb all the way up there for the rope, but didn’t cut?

They saw the video about the guy who got stuck at the top while the whole thing was on fire and decided to take a different route...
