Have a rope installed in the tree ready?

IIRC, Jerry's instructional YouTube video is called DLRW. Possibly posted under the yt user name Atreestory I call this system the Good Enough Repurposed RW system... Aka my wrists and elbows thank me system. You make a wooden Rope Wrench, lickety split, if you can find a hardwood...

Rope walking is very useful, if even only for 20', mid tree. Worth working it out!! SRT has been a lot easier on my body, for sure. You have a pantin. What is your other ascender? I used a piece of spare accessory rope for a foot loop that adjusts on itself with a prussick (like a DdRT system...

Gary, Why would you go up one-legged in any case.? You can make a rope walker very cheaply. Why go up DdRT, rather than SRT for ascent, at least? Something I didn't realize for a while is that there is a fuel primer bulb hidden, and that you need to squeeze the trigger along with setting the...

My pinkie is swollen and stiff, with no strength to speak of. I don't know why. It will probably be fine. Happy to have the Wraptor today, pulling up me and the MS461 to chunk down a fir. Good move, Gary. There are a few tricks to make it faster and easier, that will probably become apparent...

Gratitude list: today's wraptor ride. Tomorrow's gratitude list: tomorrow's wraptor ride.

Ok. I honestly don't mind your honesty. I'm rehabbing it as best I can. I'm not getting younger. I have tried to give my liver a rest from nsaids (Vitamin I , you know ibuprofen). You have any nagging injuries? Seems to be the regular story amongst tree workers. I'm screwed if I can't work...

Mick, someone who has a climber and gear pulling-up machine who wants to same their body over years. Would you fly a bucket up, then pull gear up? And someone who wants the groundie, raking, cutting, maintaining, cleaning instead of helping a non-self-sufficient climber.

Just a her to put on all your gear and climb it once. Ask if she thinks you need more wear and tear on the one machine you can't replace, it if that machine needs more or less energy when arriving home to the family.

50' is a long way carrying heavy rigging and a saw. Sometimes, very rarely, I can barely walk to the tree with my climbing rope bagged up, rigging rope, block/ rings, saw etc. Why pull up or have pulled-up what a machine will do without collaboration or subcommittee meetings. I like to be...

At least you're getting younger.
