Maybe that's it, Sean. Hardly seems to rise to the level of "promoting use of lead" to include the common throw bag in a guide to tree climbing equipment and techniques...but then, we all know of RopeArmour's point of view is a bit skewed:).

Huh?

In practice, one as often as the other is chosen, at the climbers discretion. And if need be, a skookum climber can figure out how to deploy a DRT system similarly.

US Forest Service 4 inch tie in system. http://www.fs.fed.us/treeclimbing/policy/2015_04_22NTCGweb.pdf Page 61, I believe.

:lol:

Pretty much it does for me Sean, I have a well developed sense of invulnerability when on spurs and lanyard:). But I have before and will again set an overhead tie in when the tree demands it. And a wet skinny leaning madrone is a good candidate for it.

Told y'all :).

;)

Cause you don't have enough experience to know better? :D

Old school here...if I'm on gaffs and flipline, no way am I going to bother with setting a climb line...waste of my time, and simply put, I'm a better spur climber than that :D.

Also as Fi so correctly notes, cable core is the absolute best for these wrap methods...really the best for any flipline as far as I'm concerned, at least until you get into the 6+ foot diameter range. Once you start needing to western roll 25 or more feet of flipline, rope is better.

Butch don't gaff out...that's for lame-o climbers :D.

Fi is right, my so-called 360 really is a 540 degree wrap. Thanks, Bermy.

There's more than one way to wrap a flip line. 360 degrees...goes from your right D around the right side of the tree, continues around to come back towards you on the left side of the tree, continues left to right in front of you to go on around the tree from right to left again, the back to...
