I use the saka mini on left foot, original pantin on right and a Paul Didier chest harness for tending...or my homemade one. Over time I have become so comfortable with srt that I can't remember the last time I needed a 3:1 to come back from an outer canopy position...but I do use my long...

Trust me a man basket is horrible for cutting out of...I had to use one once and it was swinging all over the show as I tried to cut, yes exactly, equal and opposite reactions

Yup...I just flagged it as 'possible'.

Way cool! Benjo, my base tie...once your climbing leg is of sufficient length for the job...wrap the down leg end twice around the tree, make a bight and tie two half hitches around the down leg where it goes up the trunk, and finish with a thumb knot or other finish knot of your choice. If...

FWIW I work with one person pretty much exclusively and I have trained her. Along with senas in our helmets and our intuition for the work my risk level from groundies with my rope is very, very low. I can fully understand switching to canopy either as the job requires or to mitigate risk from...

No worries Sean! Just my experience in a few instances according to some in the SRT world. They are crakka lakka about how baaaddd base tie is.

If you are base tied and chunking logs down...then THINK about where the logs might hit and take the appropriate action. On a top down removal then obviously a base tie isn't the best option so choke it...duh. A few times I have converted my base tie into a canopy tie during a climb by just...

I base tie 98% of the time, on some tree forums this makes me baaaddd, but idga you know what... Before I finalize it I sometimes pull a throw line weight up on the other side of the throw line to make sure I thread my line down close to the tree, or at least so it's not away out in never never...

For real...my first few weeks on SRT I thought my arms would fall off...then I got settled in the distribution of using legs more...takes a bit of time but you get there!

Eye candy! They should use your pictures in advertising

I tried a RW the other day for the first time...yeah, not bad. You would certainly get very comfortable with it quite easily if it is your first SRT device... I have my HH set up just so for me, and been on it for years so it would take a little more to get really comfy with the RW but it could...

Yep...old pantin for my right foot...the chest tethers were made by swingdude...Paul Didier

Knee ascender... SAKA mini...check the website Climbing Innovations

I can't remember the last time I put a stopper knot in my line...with SRT now it's so easy to see if your line is long enough to reach the ground...you do need to make sure to allow enough length to account for redirecting through the canopy so when you bail out on the other side of the tree...

I made my own chest tether out of some webbing and a couple of clips...I've also used a few bought ones...I still come back to my homemade one, maybe because it's actually custom for me! I now have a saka mini and love it, the only change I made was to weave a loop with throw line into the...

I remember being where you are now Cory....I couldn't visualize how SRT would be better. I copied DMc's setup, got myself a hitch hiker and made a knee ascender (the days before Haas and sakas) Practiced a bit under the back porch off the beams then started using it on non time dependant...
