Typo, Butch. Missing an I. Link doesn't work.

I have used a revolver with the hitch cord or Alpine Butterfly to form a loop. Seems to me that revolvers are designed around skinny ropes. I wonder how much it helps with a 1/2" line. Certainly, any rolling is better than no rolling.

A concern about a base-tie that is not often noted, is that the down-strand can catch a limb like a 'natural-crotch speedline' and send it into the Basal-tie. Situational awareness. A spiral wrap on the down-strand can help to avoid the gap that can catch a falling tree part.

The srt section of TB talk about stationary rope technique.

Ahhhh

Yep:thumbup:

Bowline can slip up the tree. Use a cinching knot like a running bowline. Better yet, use a tensionless anchor. http://portal.treebuzz.com/simple-lowerable-base-anchors-719 In this picture it is easy enough to tie the tail of the climbline, to the tail of a rescue line. You can then lower a...

That would need to go on a seperate line, I think. Somewhat like all other technical rope-access industries require, I believe, from second hand info.

If you are climbing DdRT, you have two strands of rope bearing your weight. A 200 pound climber , on a friction-free pulley, ddrt system is going to load each strand with 100 pounds of force. 100 pounds on the hitch. A 200 pound climber will exert 200 pound of binding force on the hitch, while...

Hitch hiker srt/ddrt device or hitch climber pulley?

Why a hitch climber? What will be the SRT device?

DON'T OVER THINK THIS. any piece of wood that will bear the load, and not splinter or be pitchy will work. A shoelace will work as a tether. I used a hardwood hammer handle. Slanted rope hole on one end, a short way in from the end, and a couple tether holes at varying distances from the rope...

Make a wooden rw!

Consistent friction from a stationary rope does.
