Hold on, they put a tissue in the mask? That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. One wrong move and you've got a soggy piece of paper stuck to your face. I can just picture it coming loose and floating right in front of your eyes. That seems like a great way to cause a problem instead of fixing one.

The tripod and winch is the way to go... we had to start using a second attendant outside with a dedicated comms line too. It adds time, but having that extra set of eyes and a clear way to call for help is non-negotiable now.

Man, that's a brutal way to learn that lesson. What kind of daily workload are you planning for this new mixer, like how many bags per day on average?
