Just found this thread again. I confess, I only dipped out of a pumpkin for the first time last year and I found it to be a stressful exercise, especially when in a chain with Skycranes, S-58's, Vertols and a bunch of Hueys all waiting their turn. Tends to increase the concentration levels and thankfully I had done a bit of long-line before, I really felt sorry for the guys spending 2 minutes or longer trying to get the bucket into the pumpkin. It is not always easy work.
