awesome, ill be on the hunt tomorrow lol

nice, what site was the testing on?

yeah that's the same path my boss and I started almost 2 years ago. No mentors but the books and the digital ones. Im considering going to college this fall for horticulture. Only because there are no arboriculture courses around me and this specific horticulture one has an arboriculture class...

yeah, after my next saw I will begin getting my srt gear. Favorite learning resources? besides for here of course

currently I have the tree motion slight with the camp tree access srt chest harness. the combination is great and very comfortable. just got both of them within the last month. I also have the notch srt chest harness (the one that doesn't connect to your climbing harness. But I don't use that...

my 9.3mm epi was great with my blue moon. haven't tested the 8mm epi or my 9.3mm on an 11mm line. I could now that I have my chinook long lanyard (only climbable 11mm line I have.

epicord is still my favorite feeling hitch cord. only reason I got away from using it was using a shorter line to begin learning the distal and Michoacán

I got it already, haven't got to get in to reading it yet. working on Jepson's to fell a tree book now. You got me wanting to get my epicord out to try the 3/4 vt.

ruel how does blue moon act in an srt set up? I see in a lot of videos where people don't like all the extra stretch of the normal 24 strand line so that makes me wonder about my lines when I go srt

that link was exactly what I needed. VTIO has put out a lot of great articles I saw links to here earlier. I need to get to downloading and reading. I had half of only one strand on my double braid cut so now its confirmed good :)

woodcutr if you wanted to get in to splicing you could always extract the core in that area and inspect it. that's me probably being too thorough. I had an issue setting my adjustable friction saver once and pulled on it hard enough that when I got it out of the tree I could feel an inconsistent...

yeah you can see all of the charts for rope safety inspection and they talk about the whole excessive fraying is when you retire it. but I've been curious about the grey area in-between. I'ts such a small nic that Im not worried about it at all, just got me wondering. I'm gonna climb on it just...

skwerl I just noticed some of the nicks in your climbing line. I kisses my tachyon line 3ft from my spliced eye for the first time a couple days ago. didn't even cut through a single carrier but since then I've asked myself, when is too much damage time to retire? I do all my own splices so I...

we haven't gotten sena kits yet but I got the photos tactical in black/red. spent like 4,000 in gear over the last year. I'm a newbie with great stuff lol. just now gotta start my srt journey and getting a bigger saw.

okay cool, I've seen those ascenders on there and has always been curious for there quality. I can see now how the hitch wouldn't quite tend itself in a srt set up. in my ddrt the line pulls itself up when I use my foot ascender. I currently use my chest harnesses to keep my harness on my hips...

gotcha, thanks! so my next questions would be: when I was learning the vt it was always a 4/3 or a 4/4 configuration that was recommended. but yours appears to be a 3/4. your not the first person I've seen running that. How does that react say compared to a Michoacán which is my current...

yeah I'm still learning the optimal angles for my limb walks. some I can go all the way out with no issue. others like the pine I climbed on Tuesday was a shaky unbalanced mess with nothing to stabilize myself to. Yeah it would be awesome to see some pics of the set up. Im about to buy a new...

All I would need is the saka and the rope wrench set up. From watching videos it seems like most canopy work in srt needs a hand ascender for limb walks to come back in from the limb. Ofcourse I could just set up a pulley with a hitch cord but how necessary is that in usual application?

Out of all the different types of srt ascent, which style would y'all recommend to begin with?

I hear ya seankroll and your probably right on the foot locking on the job lol. I gotta whip lock my splice and I’ll be able to start learning footlocking. My boss and I started the tree climbing journey about 2 years ago so a lot of things I do in the tree have to be approved by him. I’ve...
