    DRT climb line tie-in on a spar?

    Working about my rope getting into the chipper again is reinforcement for me to carry my rope. Branches are always fouling my rope. I wait on ground crew enough, as is. SRT you can get be with less rope and make it to the ground. Basal ties can "use up" excess rope, leaving your rope tail just...

    Someday, every post will be a video or audio post, more or less. It will bring clarity.

    DRT climb line tie-in on a spar?

    P.S. I run my rope in a bag on my left, rear hip, balancing out the saw on my right hip. I clip the tail of my climb line through my left-side handsaw biner, this allows some rope to hang without pulling itself out of the bag, and without me constantly feeding it back into the bag. There is...

    DRT climb line tie-in on a spar?

    Same here. For final descent, I use a pull down line set using the tail of the climbing rope or second line tied to the biner, for me. As with a ring and ring friction saver on a spar, pulling outward as much as possible, rather than down, aids retrieval from the ground. Worth a practice run...

    DRT climb line tie-in on a spar?

    DdRT is a necessary component in tree work. I'd rather largely use a system that avoids problematic friction in the first place, than managing it. On tall trees, I really, really prefer not to be stuck off the ground by not having a long enough rope to reach the ground in one shot (lots of 130'...
