I used 5/8 line for all the chunks, Chris. I did initially climb to the top on this one....dont usually but it was an easy route. I set the zip line just above my climbline, but then ran it through a redirect about 25 ft below. The thing is if you set the line too high above where you're working...

I quite like where I am right now Jed, but I wouldnt mind doing another stint in Australia either. However, its just not practical right now. Im wearing pfanner zermatts. They are the best boots Ive every worn for tree work.

Sean I use a pantin, and a single hand ascender w footloop on the other side. Velocity climbline with the RW. I don't really think about secondary life support, just a lanyard for work positioning. Using the other end of my line is aways an option but rarely happens. When I start feeling tired...

Sean, I do lots of spurless climbing, mainly end-weight reduction of Douglas firs. We do hardwoods too, but far more conifers. I should add, and cannot emphasize enough the instrumental role SRT plays when it comes to the spurless climbing of these types of trees. If DdRT were still my only...

Now dont get me wrong. I think the wraptors great, I'd definitely love to have a ride on one....but I just dont think Im doing big enough trees to warrant buying one. I can rope walk a hundred feet in a couple minutes or there abouts....and then spend 3 or 4 hours, sometimes longer pruning the...

Mick, he didnt really get a whole lot better with the roping. Kims an old school climber, and generally doesnt use a lot of gear. Trunk wraps are his thing, which is fair enough, but not with my my rope. The super stretchy yale polydine played its part as a shock absorber also....its perfect for...

The branches would've dragged along the ground too soon, short of the landing, Sean. You'll see when you watch the vid. Thanks.

Thanks all:thumbup: On a tall tree like that, the line doesn't have to be so tight, because the height usually means you're going to get plenty of clearance down below. Even more so on a single stemmed conifer because you're working in-line with the rigging point the whole time. We set the...

When I say tall, I mean proportionally....thats 150 but only 3ft dbh. Lots of chunks to lower, I got some on film. Stormy day, but a safe tree to work on. Use HD setting. Thanks <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/pUfWRjJaJXo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
