You are doing well, Chris. On the TM, it is almost impossible to get the waist belt tight enough unless you are hanging from the rope bridge. Try that and see if your waist buckle can be tightened, should help. Don't worry about getting the hitch cord ultra tight, just get it so it will...

I have watched that video many times and have not seen anything that is doing better than the normal setup. I suppose if you are having troubles it would be worth a try.

If you are going to have a rescue system, it does make more sense, at least to me, to have a smaller and lighter weight line in a bag ready for deployment if needed. It will keep a fresh and ready rescue system handy without lugging around a longer climbing line than is actually needed for the job.

I use basal anchors almost exclusively. I set my lines with an APTA that has a green lazer targeting system so I can place a line pretty much exactly where I want. Our trees are not particularly tall, most under 100'. So 150' and shorter lines get used a lot. Ropes are amongst the most...

Try all the cords you have to find out what works the best for you. But don't be satisfied with anything less than ultra smooth slack tending, almost zero setback and confident one handed descents.

No, it is what I use with all the same equipment and is in fact what I prefer because it works so well. What hitch cord will you be using? My choice with Vortex is 9mm ArbPro.

Yes, it works very well but be aware, it will be a lot more bulky and heavier than your 11mm rope.

Sorry, the shoulder harness I use is the Petzl Torse and the pulley is a Petzl fixe with the side plates pressed together so they firmly grip the bridge ring. I started with the original Haas and upgraded to the Velox. It has a much greater range of bungee travel.

Chris, if you look at the picture I posted on my setup, you will see an adjustment buckle on my shoulder harness with a small hole in it. That is where I clip my haas. I don't like anything pulling down on the stuff that is going up. As for adding a pulley or not just go with what works for...

Yes, amazingly well. It is fantastic with a foot and knee ascender.

This works well.
