Yup, got one of those knocking around as well. Like any rescue setup, you just have to have a clear idea of what you want to do if it ever happens, and grab the right stuff first time.

My emergency lowering system: IF needed, once my base tie is set, I tie another alpine B'fly above the biner, tie my rescue line to that...the rescue line leads back to another tree where it is attached to a fig 8 on a sling choked around the tree or a big branch, or could use the truck tow bar...

Indeed, I started with all kinds of stuff at the bottom for a lowerable system, then gradually got rid of it. Down to the alpine butterfly and a biner. I do have a crate standing by with another line, a sling and a fig 8. If things are very sketchy I hook that up on another alpine b'fly and...

Yes it can, but its not rope on rope. And I'm a flyweight tree elf.

I basal tie most of my climbs, it seems to be a minority move, but that's another discussion. I also like it when my line has more than one branch below it to catch if for some reason the top one failed. When securing my line at the bottom of the tree, I tie an alpine butterfly, clip a steel...

For real. I am the tie in twice queen! I even go three if I feel like it...

Yes, definitely get the knee ascender setup if you are going SRT. Mine is homemade, petzl basic with a footloop on the bottom and a bungee at the top that goes up over my waist belt on my harness and actually right down to a pantin on my right foot. The SAKA knee ascender looks pretty good for...

I'm still using beeline, it's working fine for me on Tachyon so can't help you there. There is some comment on facebook about the quickie and the HH and how you need a better tether...it's not a simple changeover from the carabiner it doesn't fit the same. I for one will stick with the...

The 11.7mm ropes run better through the HH...I'm on Tachyon and really like it. You want a proper arborist rope though, it's got to have some give, a pure static line is so unforgiving. Ok for ascent but why have two ropes, one to go up and one to work? Get the happy compromise.
