Water and Headphones - The Ropes
Anchor rope
One of the best things that one can do, in order to be safe with regard to anchor rope when tossing the anchor in the water is to braid the anchor rope to the anchor chain. This is must when one is boating. Anchor rope made from nylon should be used because this rope has the maximum elasticity that can take in the shocks that it bears due to the force of the water current. For a long life of the anchor, try your best to keep it in shade when the anchor rope is not in use.
To braid the anchor rope, untie it almost 12 inches from the end at the lower part. The anchor rope is always melted so that it does not untie. You will have to cut or pull apart the strands. In case there is no way out other than cutting, put an electric tape to prevent it from opening.
Form the end of the link of the chain; pass two of the three rope sections. And the third one has to be passed from the opposite side. Now two strands must strike out from one side and the third from the other side. One end has to be brought down far from the chain and the Swedish fid has to be stuck into a section of the rope. Now, it must be pulled from the opposite direction to twist but very firmly.
Then twist the anchor rope in a way that one side faces up and the fid can be slide into the other one. Pull down and hold the next section. Repeat the same for the remaining strand. Now tuck back all the section on the anchor rope. Keep twisting the sections and each strand. You must have a set of 6 tucks in each strand. Now untie each strand in a way that there are two sections for each strand. At the end twist the anchor rope at the top where the anchor meets the rope.

Flight NEWS On Observations That Checklists And Monitoring Are Not As Effective AS Generally Assumed
Early morning at the gate, powering up the jet from cold. Flow-scan the overhead panel, as you has done so many times before. Up and down, left to right. All the switches are in their usual positions. L.ast is the air panel-six switches and two rotary selectors. A quick glance shows they are good. You call for the checklist. The first officer's first challenge is "pressurization?" Your eyes go to the landing altitude rotary selector on the air panel."Set," you reply. It is still dark after takeoff .Climbing through 3,000ft, the first officer, the flying pilot,calls,"Flaps up,' After Takeoff' checklist." You run your hands around the checklist."You run your hands around the overhead panel, turning off the ignition and auxiliary power. Pressurization check: A peek at the differential gauge shows that it is off the lower peg. Just then the controller instructs you to contact departure. After acknowledging, you pick up the checklist."Pressurization?" Remembering your earlier glance at the guage, you reply, "Checked."
Through 15,000 ft now, and an insistent beeping jars your senses. The takeoff warning horn. Why now? While you think about this, the master caution light comes on, indicating equipment cooling fan failure. A you get out of your seat to check the fans circuit breakers, you tell the first officer to keep flying. You stand up, turn around and feel a bit woozy. The last thing you remember is deciding, for some reason, to sit down in the narrow aisle behind the pilot seats.
Accident investigators comb through the wreckage for clues and determine you did not notice that pressurization system selector on the air panel had been left on "MAN" (manual) by the maintenance department. The pressure differential had increased enough in manual mode to let you see the gauge off zero but not enough to maintain a livable atmosphere as the aircraft climbed. It is likely you forgot that the takeoff warning horn, which you had heard during systems tests before every flight, doubles as a cabin altitude warning. The conclusion: Both pilots succumbed to hypoxia because they did not identify, or react to, a lack of pressurization.
A sequence much like this occurred on Aug, 14, 2005, as a Helios Airways Boeing 737 climbed out from Larnaca, Cyprus (ASW,1/07,P.18). Automation kept the aircraft aloft and on its programmed flight plan until the fuel was exhausted over Grammatiko, Greece.
Although such accidents are extremely rare, they point to the crucial roles played by checklists and monitoring in helping pilots catch system malfunctions and human error, and manage the challenging situations that sometimes arise on routine flights.
Line Observations
To find out how checklists and monitoring work in actual practice, we observed line operations during 60 flights conducted by three air carriers from two countries. We used a structured technique to observe and record checklist and monitoring performance and situational factors that might affect performance. Because an important function of checklists and monitoring is to catch, or "trap," operational errors, we also recorded deviations in aircraft control, navigation, communication and planning. When a deviation was observed, we tracked whether crew-members identified and corrected it, and whether there were any consequences that might affect the outcome of the flight.
During the 60 flights, we recorded 899 deviations, of which 194 were in checklist use, 391 in monitoring and 314 in operating procedures. The total number of deviations per flight ranged from one to 38.
Many of the deviations we observed were errors. For example, one airline had a mixed 737 fleet, with a few aircraft requiring the first officer to place the pressurization system in flight mode during the flow portion of the "After start "check list procedure. On one flight, perhaps reverting to the procedure required for the more common aircraft, the first officer omitted this during the flow check. The pilots then did not notice the incorrect system configuration while conducting two subsequent checklists, both of which included verification of the relevant panel settings.
Some deviations, however, were not necessarily intrinsic errors. For example, several involved a standard operating procedure (SOP) at all three airlines that required the monitoring (nonflying) pilot to make a callout 1,000ft prior to reaching each assigned altitude during climb and descent. We observed 137 instances of pilots omitting this callout or making it late. Climb and descent are busy periods, and at times a pilot may need to give priority over a callout to other tasks, such as air traffic control (ATC) communications. Consequently, omitting or delaying this callout may sometimes be strategic workload management choice rather than an error.
This is not to suggest that the 1,000 ft callout in trivial. On the contrary, it ensures that both pilots concur about the altitude target, directs the attention of a flying pilot who might be distracted back to the impending level-off and draws both pilots attention to what the autopilot is supposed to be doing.
Airlines should examine their SOPs to specifically define the objectives of each procedure and to determine whether it is realistic to assume that pilots can perform the procedure reliably under actual line conditions. Pilots must be aware that in deviating from any procedure, they might be giving up safety margin that is not apparent.
Checklist Deviations
Among the most common deviations in checklist usage was incorrect application of the flow and check procedure implemented by the three airlines. The procedure involves using a memory-based flow pattern for setting systems and controls, and then following up with verification using a printed or electronic checklist.
In 48 of the 194 checklist deviations recorded, the flow and check procedure was not performed correctly. One or both pilots tasked with the flow procedure did not do it or attended to only some of the flow items. As a result, most items were performed only while using the checklist, eliminating the protective redundancy designed into the flow and check procedure; other items- those that were in the flow procedure but not repeated in the checklist-were not completed. Many people find it difficult to force themselves to carefully check something twice within a brief period. A pilot may consider it wasteful of limited time and attention, and less efficient than combining the flow and the checklist into a single sequence of actions. If airlines want to maintain the error-trapping value of a redundant flow and check procedure, they must explicitly acknowledge this human tendency and explain to pilots why they are asked to check things twice. Airlines should clearly define which items should be double-checked and which responses can rely on a memory of having performed the item during the flow. Airlines also should review normal checklists to eliminate excessive repetition of items on the flow and the checklist.
Looking Without Seeing
We observed 43 instances in which checklist items were responded to without effective visual verification. In some cases, the responses were incorrect. For example. A first officer challenged,"Doors?" and the captain responded."Closed," although the aft cargo door was actually open, as indicated on the overhead panel. The captain was looking down at his flight bag when he responded. The first officer caught the error, however.
On another flight, the captain responded,"On," to the challenge"APU [auxiliary power unit] bleed?" but the bleed was off. Because the captain was looking at the bleed switch when he made the incorrect response, this may have been an instance of "looking without seeing," in which we see what we expext to see, rather than what is actually there.
We observed a pilot using a nice technique of pointing to each item on the overhead panel as he gave the response. This makes the checklist more reliable by drawing both pilots attention to the items being verified, and it can also slow the pace of checklist execution just enough to make checking more effective. In general, taking a few extra seconds to perform an error-trapping procedure in a deliberate manner-that is, carefully and thoughtfully-makes it much more effective .The "point and shoot" technique is worth adopting, and airlines should promote and train deliberateness.
Checklist items were omitted or performed incompletely or incorrectly in 42 instances .For example ,the checklist item "hydraulics," had a specified response of "set and checked," referring to setting the pump switches on the overhead panel to the "ON" position and checking the pressure gauges on the forward instrument panel. Some pilots looked only at the overhead panel before making the specified response, omitting the other item, the gauge indications, that were to be verified .This shows the vulnerability to error of checklist designs that include more than one item on a single challenge-response element, and the subtlety of breakdowns in the area. We suspect that many of the pilots involved in this kind of deviation were not even aware of the omission.
Another common checklist deviation was initiating a checklist at a bad time. We observed this in 31 instances. Some were delayed initiations, with heavy workload a key factor, others involved pilots calling for a checklist when it interfered with other tasks and posed a significant distraction or workload spike. For example, a captain called for the "Taxi" checklist just as the aircraft was approaching a runway intersection, drawing the first officer's attention way from visually clearing the taxi path from his side of the flight deck. This is an example of an error-trapping procedure that can potentially detract from safety when not handled properly. Pilots can reduce this risk by exercising proactive workload management, deliberately choosing the optimal time to perform a checklist (within the guidelines of the SOP) so as to minimize interference with other tasks. Airlines should train this mode of workload management, and reinforce it in line checks and line observations.
Deviation in Monitoring
Among the 391 monitoring deviations that we observed, 211 involved callout omissions. Callouts are the outward manifestations of monitoring .Some omitted callouts more clearly undermined flight safety than the "1,000 to go" callouts previously discussed .For example , a flight crew was engrossed in increasing the descent gradient to accommodate a "slam dunk" ATC clearance when the monitoring pilot omitted the callout at 1,000 ft above airport elevation. This illustrates the tendency of pilots to shed monitoring tends to drop out of the picture just when it is needed most. Verification omissions occurred in 113 instances. In one case, while descending through Flight Level (FL) 310 (approximately 31,000 ft), the flight crew received clearance to FL240.The first officer set and called out the new altitude, but the captain was distracted by conversation and did not verify the new altitude on the primary flight display. There was no adverse outcome because the first officer had set the altitude correctly. Potentially more consequential was an instance in which the first officer transposed the digits of a heading assigned by ATC while the captain was occupied with taxiing the aircraft onto the runway. The captain did not verify the heading selection at this busy time. The error was not trapped. In this case, the observer spoke up about the heading mis-selection to reduce the risk of a traffic conflict after departure.
Another frequent deviation was not monitoring the aircraft, observed in 67 instances. Both the flying pilot and monitoring pilot are required to attend to the aircraft. We observed numerous instances of pilots looking elsewhere as the aircraft began turning or leveling off at an assigned altitude, most often while under autopilot control. Not monitoring the aircraft suggests over-reliance on automations high reliability .But accidents and incidents have happened when the automation was misprogrammed.Automation does fail occasionally ,but because it generally is so reliable, pilots likely do not even realize when they may, at least at times, no longer be actively monitoring the aircraft.
Procedural Deviations
The 314 deviations in primary procedures included 62 involving configuration of equipment/systems. An example was when a captain turned on the engine anti-ice system before the airplane entered the clouds in icing conditions but neglected to turn on the engine ignition. Deviations in planning for, a responding to, and contingencies occurred in 57 instances. For example, an airplane was at 6,000 ft and near the end of a flight when ATC transmitted,"Braking action fair reported by all types." The crew made no comment in response, and they did not recalculate landing distance for the reported braking condition.
We recorded 56 deviations in crew-crew coordination. In one instance, a flight crew was cleared to navigate directly to a fix: the captain entered and executed the route change without waiting for the first officer to confirm the change.
Deviations in data entry or in use of the flight management system or the mode control panel occurred in 40 and 18 instances, respectively. An example was a first officer who did not arm the autopilot to capture the instrument landing system (ILS) localizer as the flight neared the final approach course.
Effectiveness of Trapping
Overall, only 18% of the observed deviations were trapped by the crew. However, the efficiency of the trapping varied dramatically among the deviation types. More than 14% of then checklist deviations were trapped, while only about 6% of the monitoring deviations were caught. The best performance was in primary procedural deviations, with more than 35% trapped. However ,there were eight instances in which flight crews failed to reject unstabilized approaches before or upon reaching the point at which a go around was required by SOPs, and there were 10 discrete deviations during these approaches in which crews then did not challenge or trap their continuation of the approach while unstabilized.
Pilots trapped most erroneous mode control panel entries, most system misconfigurations and most failures to call for a checklist. In contrast; they rarely caught deviations in contingency planning, crew-crew coordination, monitoring and most aspects of checklist execution. From the jump seat, we were not able to distinguish whether deviations by one pilot were not noticed by the other pilot or whether the other pilot noticed but chose not to speak up.
One of the key discoveries from our study was that, although primary procedures most often were performed as prescribed, checklists and monitoring currently does not trap all procedural threats and errors to the degree that the aviation industry generally assumes. For example, even though slightly more than half of the 62 instances of system misconfiguration were trapped, many of these events were not identified or corrected. The industry needs more reliable trapping for this and many other kinds of primary procedural deviations. Most checklist and monitoring deviations were not trapped either by the flight crew-members or by others. It appears that pilots are not likely to notice or take corrective action when checklists and monitoring have been weakened and their error-trapping functions cannot be relied up. This may remain as a latent threat, allowing a primary procedural deviation to slip through, Captains and first officers , and flying pilots and monitoring pilots, made about the same number of deviations overall.However,we found that first officers were significantly less effective at trapping errors while they were performing the monitoring role; they caught 12.1% of the deviations that captains made as the flying pilot, while captains caught 27.9% of deviations that first officers made as the flying pilot. Previous studies based on flight simulator observations and on accidents found a similar disparity. The greater difficulty that first officers face in challenging their captains (compared to reverse) is clearly a stubborn problem for which a solution has not yet been found.
Implications
In our full report, we discuss factors that make even experienced, conscientious pilots vulnerable to the observed deviations. It is naïve to think that any crew can always perform perfectly in real-world conditions; nevertheless, our findings show that checklist and monitoring performance can be improved. In responding to these findings, airlines must not assume that the deviations are the result of laziness. Pilots face interruptions and concurrent task demands during actual line operations, and idealized SOPs do not take these factors into account. Also, pilots cope with operating procedures and equipment deigns that sometimes are poorly matched to the ways the human mind processes information. Finally, pilots may slip into rushing through procedures when they are under time pressures now common in airline operations; neither pilots nor airlines may recognize just how much rushing undermines reliable performance.
For these reasons, simply admonishing pilots to follow procedures as written is unlikely to improve performance .Rather, we encourage airlines to analyze actual operations thorough line observations, revise procedures and practices as needed, provide training to help pilots understand the cognitive nature of vulnerability to error, and provide specific techniques to reduce that vulnerability. Pilots, flight managers, procedures designers, equipment designers and scientists should work together in this effort. The full report of our study provides detailed suggestions for reducing vulnerability and improving deviation trapping.

Help with Splinter Cell 2: Pandora Tomorrow on PS2?
I'm starting the 5th level at the Indonesian Jungle. The 1st objective is to meet up with Shetland.
Walkthroughs tell u to walk a bit in the jungle and meet him behind a bush.
Where I start there is a wall behind me that I cannot climb and a small pond in front of me that is accessible to climbing down a 1 story high cliff.
The pond is a dead end. The only way out is up a tree and then down a rope line to the other side of the small cliff.
Here there are two guards. One of them sits on a chair and stands up by a fire. The other is urinating down a hole in the ground.
I knock them down and rapell down the well. The rope stops half way on a ledge. From here I shoot and kill a dog that is at the bottom. The only way out of this ledge is a wooden log stuck to the cliff. The only way is up. And then hanging on a wooden plank and moving sideways to the right.
From here on I'm stuck.
Tried jumping down but Sam Fisher dies.
Is there a pole to get on and slide down? It has been a long time since I played this game and I remember every part you said except the part you are stuck on. Might be a building you have to go in, though.

Thuja Plicata
Taxonomy and Name
Thuja plicata shoot with mature cones
The western red cedar is not actually a cedar (Cedrus), but belongs in the Cupressaceae family, along with cypresses. It is known by many names, Pacific red cedar, British Columbia cedar, canoe cedar, giant cedar, or just red cedar. Plicata, the species name, derives from a Greek word meaning "folded in plaits", a references to the pattern of its small leaves. It is one of two arborvitaes (Thuja) native to North America. Arborvitae comes from the Latin for "tree of life". Coincidentally, native Americans of the West coast also address the cedar as "long life maker".
Description
The western red cedar is a large tree, ranging between 40 to 150 feet (12 to 45 meters) tall and up to 22 feet (7 meters) in trunk diameter. Trees growing in the open will exhibit a crown that reaches the ground, whereas trees densely spaced together will only exhibit a crown at the top, where light can reach the leaves. Some individuals can live nearly a thousand years, if not more. Certain specimens on Queen Charlotte islands are around nine hundred years old.
Quinault Lake Red Cedar, aka "the Hobbit Tree", is the largest Western red cedar in the world
The Quinault Lake Red Cedar is the largest known western red cedar in the world with a wood volume of 500 cubic metres (17,700 cu ft). By way of comparison, the largest known tree, a Giant Sequoia named General Sherman, has a volume of 1,480 cubic metres (52,300 cu ft). Located near the northwest shore of Lake Quinault north of Aberdeen, Washington, about 34 km from the Pacific Ocean, the Quinault Lake Red Cedar is 55m high with a diameter of 6.04 m (Van Pelt, 2002). A red cedar over 74m tall and 800 years old stood in Cathedral Grove on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, before it was set on fire and destroyed by vandals in 1972.[citation needed]
The foliage forms flat sprays with scale-like leaves in opposite pairs, with successive pairs at 90 to each other. The foliage sprays are green above, and green marked white with stomatal bands below. The cones are slender, 1520 mm long and 45 mm broad, with 8-12 thin, overlapping scales.
Thujaplicin, a chemical substance, is found in mature trees and serves as a sort of natural fungicide, thereby preventing the wood from rotting. This effect lasts around a century even after the tree is fallen. However, thujaplicin is only found in older trees, and saplings that do not produce the chemical will often rot at an early stage, causing some trees to grow with a somewhat hollow, rotten trunk.
Distribution and habitat
The western red cedar is native to the northwestern United States and southwestern Canada, from southern Alaska and British Columbia south to northwest California and inland to western Montana. Pollen analysis and carbon-14 dating seems to indicate that the tree first grew around the lower Fraser Valley around 6600 years ago. There it prospers and accounted for nearly half the vegetation in the area 500 years ago. Currently, western red cedar comprises about twenty percent of the region's flora.
Western red cedar is among the most widespread trees in the Pacific Northwest, and is associated with Douglas-fir and western hemlock in most places where it grows. It is found at the elevation range of sea level to 1370m above sea level. In addition to growing in lush forests and mountainsides, western red cedar is also a riparian tree, and grows in many forested swamps and streambanks in its range. The tree is shade-tolerant, and able to reproduce under dense shade. It has a tight, straight grain and few knots.
Uses
Canadian Western red cedar cowl in the National Assembly for Wales
The soft red-brown timber is valued for its distinct appearance, aroma, and its high natural resistance to decay, being extensively used for outdoor construction in the form of posts, decking, shingles and siding. It is cultivated as an ornamental tree, to a limited extent in forestry plantations and for screens and hedges. It has been introduced to other temperate zones, including western Europe, Australia (at least as far north as Sydney), New Zealand, the eastern United States and higher elevations of Hawaii. It is also used to line closets and chests, for its pungent aromatic oils are believed to discourage moth and carpet beetle larvae, which can damage cloth by eating wool and similar fibres. This is more effective in a properly constructed red cedar chest (sometimes made entirely of cedar), since the oils are confined by shellac and leather seals. A well-sealed red cedar chest will retain its pungent odour for many decades, sometimes for over a century. Its light weight, strength and dark warm sound make it a popular choice for guitar soundboards.
Role in indigenous societies
Western red cedar has an extensive history of use by the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast, from Oregon to southeast Alaska. Some northwest coast tribes refer to themselves as "people of the red cedar" because of their extensive dependence on the tree for basic materials. The cedar wood has been used for constructing housing, totem poles, and crafted into many objects, including masks, utensils, boxes, boards, instruments, canoes, vessels, and ceremonial objects. Roots and bark were used for baskets, ropes, clothing, blankets and rings.
Largest
As of 2009, the three largest known western red cedar are:
Quinalt Lake Cedar (Quinalt Lake Rain Forest-Olympic National Park) 17,650 Cubic feet
Cheewhat Lake Cedar (West Coast Vancouver Island-Pacific Rim National Park) 15,870 Cubic feet
Nolan Creek Cedar (Nolan Creek) 15,330 Cubic feet
History
A huge number of archeological finds point to the continuous use of red cedar wood in native societies. Woodworking tools dating between 50008000 years ago, such as carved antlers, were discovered in shell middens at the Glenrose site, near Vancouver. In Yuquot, on the west coast of Vancouver, tools dating 30004000 years old have been found. The Musqueam site, also near Vancouver, yielded bark baskets woven in five different styles, along with ropes and ships dated to 3000 years ago. At Pitt River, adzes and baskets were dated around 2900 years ago. 1000 year old wooden artifacts were unearthed on the east coast of Vancouver Island.
A legend amongst the Coast Salish peoples describes the origins of the western red cedar. In this legend, there was a generous man who gave the people whatever they needed. When the Great Spirit saw this, he declared that when the generous man died, a great red cedar tree will grow where he is buried, and that the cedar will be useful to all the people; providing its roots for baskets, bark for clothing, and wood for shelter.
Tools
The wood was worked primarily with the adze, which was preferred over all other tools, even ones introduced by European settlers. Alexander Walker, an ensign on the fur trade ship Captain Cook reported that the indigenous peoples used an elbow adze, which they valued over new tools brought by the Europeans, such as the saw or the axe, going so far as to modify traded tools back into an adze. Tools were generally made from stone, bone, obsidian, or a harder wood such as hemlock. A variety of hand mauls, wedges, chisels and knives were used. Excavations done at Ozette in Washington state turned up iron tools nearly 800 years old, far before European contact. When James Cook passed the area, he observed that almost all tools were made of iron. There has been speculation on the origin of these iron tools, some theories include shipwrecks from East Asia, or possible contact with iron-using cultures from Siberia, as hinted in the more advanced woodworking found in northern tribes such as the Tlingit.
Wood
Harvesting red cedars required some ceremony, and included propitiation of the tree's spirits as well as those of the surrounding trees. In particular, many people specifically requested the tree and its brethren not to fall or drop heavy branches on the harvester, a situation which is mentioned in a number of different stories of people who were not sufficiently careful. Some professional loggers of Native American descent have mentioned that they offer quiet or silent propitiations to trees which they fell, following in this tradition.
Felling of large trees such as red cedar before the introduction of steel tools was a complex and time-consuming art. Typically the bark was removed around the base of the tree above the buttresses, and then some amount of cutting and splitting with stone adzes and mauls would be done, creating a wide triangular cut. The area above and below the cut would be covered with a mixture of wet moss and clay as a firebreak, and then the cut would be packed with tinder and small kindling and slowly burned. The process of cutting and burning would alternate until the tree was mostly penetrated through, and then careful tending of the fire would fell the tree in the best direction for handling. This process could take many days, and constant rotation of workers was involved to keep the fires burning through night and day, often in a remote and forbidding location.

Once the tree was felled the work had only just begun, as it then had to be stripped and dragged down to shore. If the tree was to become canoes then it would often be divided into sections and worked into rough canoe shapes before transport, but if it were to be used for a totem pole or building materials it would be towed in the round to the village. Many trees are still felled in this traditional manner for use as totem poles and canoes, particularly by artists who feel that using modern tools is detrimental to the traditional spirit of the art. Non-traditionalists simply buy redcedar logs or lumber at mills or lumber yards, a practice that is commonly followed by most working in smaller sizes such as for masks and staves.
Because felling required such an extraordinary amount of work, if only planks for housing were needed, these would be split from the living tree. The bark was stripped and saved, and two cuts were made at the ends of the planking. Then wedges would be pounded in along the sides and the planks slowly split off the side of the tree. Trees which have been so harvested are still visible in some places in the rainforest, with obvious chunks taken off of their sides. Such trees usually continue to grow perfectly well, since red cedar wood is resistant to decay. Planks are straightened by a variety of methods, including weighing them down with stones, lashing them together with rope, or forcing them between a line of stakes.
Red cedar wood is used to make huge monoxyla canoes in which the men went out to high sea to harpoon whales and conduct trade. One of those canoes (a 38 feet craft dug out about a century ago), was bought in 1901 by Captain John Voss, an adventurer. He gave her the name of Tilikum (boat) ("Friend" in Chinook jargon), rigged her, and led her in a three years hectic voyage from British Columbia to London.
Red cedar branches are very flexible and have good tensile strength. They were stripped and used as strong cords for fishing line, rope cores, twine, and other purposes where bark cord was not strong enough or might fray. Both the branches and bark rope have been replaced by modern fiber and nylon cordage among the aboriginal northwest coast peoples, though the bark is still in use for the other purposes mentioned above.
Bark
Illustration of women pulling bark from a tree, from Indian Legends of Vancouver Island by Alfred Carmichael
The bark is easily removed from live trees in long strips, and is harvested for use in making mats, rope and cordage, basketry, rain hats, clothing, and other soft goods. The harvesting of bark must be done with care because if the tree is completely stripped it will die. To prevent this, the harvester usually only harvests from trees which have not been stripped before. After harvesting the tree is not used for bark again, although it may later be felled for wood. Stripping bark is usually started with a series of cuts at the base of the tree above any buttresses, and the bark is peeled upwards. To remove bark high up, a pair of platforms strung on rope around the tree are used, and the harvester climbs by alternating between them for support. Since red cedars lose their lower branches as all tall trees do in the rainforest, the harvester may climb 10 m or more into the tree by this method. The harvested bark is folded and carried in backpacks. It can be stored for quite some time as mold does not grow on it, and is moistened before unfolding and working. It is then split lengthwise into the required width and woven or twisted into shape. Bark harvesting was mostly done by women, despite the danger of climbing 10 m in the air, because they were the primary makers of bark goods. Today bark rope making is a lost art in many communities, although it is still practiced for decoration or art in a few places. Other uses of bark are still common for artistic or practical purposes.
