cHAPTER 2...MIND OVER MATTER

First the delimbing. Cut off all branches *See chapter 1 for interesting chainsaw diversions. These are intended to use up as much remaining daylight hours as possible. Next cut your tree to desired length. This is a good time to remember the old adage...measure twice, cut once. I would recommend measure 14 times cut once, unless you want to repeat chapter one. An interesting side note....when raising your tree it will give the optical illusion of being too short, even though you have measured 14 times. This is an excercise designed to test your intelligence level and mess with your mind. Even the most experienced dominants need to have their chain yanked once in a while.

After cutting off all the branches It is time to rake and clean your playspace, Even though You have spent countless hours already  raking your playspace, it will be littered with branches, leaves and anything else you have knocked out of the treetops. Rituals are good. Repeating an activity over and over can be a comforting experience. Remember...practice makes perfect.

Now it is time to move your tree. If you paid attention and made sure it was in a heavily wooded,inaccessible area you are ready for some fun! You will have to manuver your tree through other trees.
Remember that you chose this tree especially for it's rigidity and weight.  It will not bend no matter how much you want it to. You and your partner will have to find the right path to your playspace.If it doesn't exist..and of course it doesn't, (This is reality vs fantasy) you'll will have to clear some more paths. Now it is time to display that superior dominant strength that makes the subbies swoon.
Grunting, groaning,cursing and sweating should be intergrated to show your other likeable human qualites. This is also a great time to really open up those communication pathways. Pushing or pulling without telling your partner
is a good way to push limits and get real intense reactions. Limits involving abrasion play should have been discussed earlier.

Moving the tree to the playspace should take at least an hour. If it doesn't, you probably picked an unsuitable weight tree and should start again. At this time it is more challenging if daylight is almost gone. This is the best possible time of day to experience northern blackfly and mosquito wildlife. Holding on to your tree while trying to swat away the hundreds of little demons demonstrates your agility, all that flogging does have  practical applications.
 
Congratulations you're  almost finished, all that is left is to hoist your 500 lb tree up 20 feet and lash it to two other trees.

I've been working on a large outdoor playground. 700 feet of pathways raked and cleared. 2 cleared areas encompassing about a 1000 sq feet. 3 suspension areas, staked out area, and mudpit. Also dragging a cage out there and putting a floor and tarped roof on an old cabin for extra fun. It's been a lot of hard work. Out working in the bush for days, morning till night, enduring sweltering humidity and blackfly swarms.  I'd like to share some of my humour with what we do in regards to fantasy vs reality. I'd like to give due credit to my partner in crime for being far more technically superior than I, and at least or maybe more  driven/nutty as I. I wasn't the one wielding the chainsaw.


HOW TO BUILD AN OUTDOOR BONDAGE PLAYGROUND 

Chapter 1...Picking Your Tree for Suspension.

Find yourself a 40 foot green heavy tree.
Make sure it is growing in a real thickly wooded, hard to access area, as far away from
your play area as possible.The added cardio benefits of dragging it there are worth it.
Also make sure there is no possible way for it to fall where you want when you cut it.

 For added fun, having the spark plug loosen out in your chainsaw or the pull cord not retracting
are always entertaining diversions. Testing your patience level is always a good dom trait.

Now once you have cut the tree, hopefully you made sure it was in a dense area *(see beginning notes)
This will  ensure that it will get caught up in the other treetops 20 feet in the air.
Now here is where you get to excercise your creativity.

Feel free to employ any idea that you can think of.
Climbing the fallen tree, jumping on it, trying to lasso it with rope and pull it towards you,
 shooting rocks at it, are all acceptable dangerous ways to try
 
Experiment and have fun. Remember if you aren't living on the edge,  you're taking up too much room.

By now, you should be covered by leaves, pine needles, falling branches and my favorite tree sap.
Here is where you get to experience the "dirtier" side of bdsm. Push your limits!

If the kink gods have smiled on you, you have now managed to fell your tree without getting flattened by it. Being able to run fast while dodging rocks and tree roots is a valuable tool. Those hours spent at the gym really pay off here. I would suggest sensible shoes over 4 inch heels for any domme that is planning on building her own playground.  

Even though by now you should be physically exhausted, you have saved the best for last. Actually having to delimb your tree, and get it to the area you need. If you picked the proper tree, it should be at the minimum 500 lbs.
