    I feel like when in DRT I can completely break the hitch while holding the tail with my right hand and easily control my descent speed with the HH/oxan/dogbone only. This means I can SCREAM out of the tree. I have been really hitting a stride with the whole system, I have it almost self...

    You cant go wrong with the standard steel ring. Generally speaking the small ones are small and the large ones are pretty large. I personally use an aluminum ring but after the Kong ring failed a lot of people were turned off aluminum rings. The ISC rings are proof tested to 16kn and rated...

    Nice video Randy! Try using your flipline to tend the HH over the shoulder like Sean mentioned. AND dont ever climb without a lanyard/flipline. You never know what will happen! The only thing I dont love about Jamies system is that only the foot ascender pulls the slack through the HH. What...

    There isnt any noticeable sitback with the HH in DRT, it isnt a slick as a Hitchclimber pulley and a loose VT by any means. If you tune the hitch right which is easy with the dogbone you can get that perfect balance.

    I love being able to switch from DRT to SRT and so forth... Working up a tree on spikes you can go back and forth SRT/DRT/Lanyard, or set a primary SRT tie in, but when its time to flop the stem you can either leave your climbing line up top and come down SRT using your line to flop it OR grab a...

    I always wrap on the spine side which I believe is what Dave is referring to as the closed side. I have wondered the same question though but my cord seems to like going behind the rope as I look at it first (the spine side).

    I have done that for a long time. I have left the HH on for a week at a time and my old DRT setup even longer than that. Never worried about it.

    I think that holds water! On my unit I have never untied the fishermans knot on the one side which sets against the dog bone the same way each time. I havent had any negative wear issues with the HRC I am using, so far its gotten better actually. With the spine facing away from you, has anyone...
