Double bridges and rope walking

[Recon]

Sorry for the dumb question. But if you're running a double bridge, I'm assuming you can only SRS on a single multiscender (at a time)? So the second connection is made once in the canopy?


Thanks gents

I use my second bridge for secondary system in the tree or attaching my Captain Hook system. Some people run a ring on both for redundancy

Two bridges, two systems, or one system and lanyard in SRS config.

there are devices that will follow you up, you can ropewalk up one rope with a backup.

I use a swivel that captures both bridges for redundancy, but will clip things to individual bridges if it serves me. I will clip a lanyard or hook line to a single side D if it let's me position the way I way for a cut. For ascending, everything is on one device.

Be careful with this. The harnesses are not designed to be weighted off a single D. Need to think about a shit hits the fan scenario. I wouldn't want to be suspended by a single side D. Being suspended by two is bad enough.

Definitely don't do it without being properly tied twice. I use it as a 3rd leg for positioning, but I didn't realize that in a catastrophic scenario, it wasn't rated for a single D connection. I have taken what was technically a factor 1.5 onto a technora lanyard on the two lower Ds, and it was unpleasant to say the least, but reassuring to know that it wasn't the worst I have experienced. I give credit to the two branches I hit for slowing my fall enough to not break anything, and it was only a total fall of about 3'.

There is a twin SRT system, two multicenders and a foot ascender on each foot. So a tandem system.
Johnny Pro had some videos which no longer exist. I think Shultz also goes over it a little in his training video.
I guess I don’t understand your question. You can use two devices in parallel srt. Connect them to one bridge per, both bridges or 2 on 1 and 1 on the other.
