    “Rope Only” Canopy Anchor??

    I’ve definitely used something similar that I would classify as a bowline on a bight. Could you show me exactly your method of tying it?? Thanks!!!

    “Rope Only” Canopy Anchor??

    I’m curious if there is a knot that can capture the working side of the line (midline), while also installing the retrievable side at the same time. Basically setting up a running knot without having to feed the tail thru a butterfly and no extra hardware… heard it’s been done! Thanks!

    "Sag but not break" limb cutting

    love this type of cut! definitely very useful in pine removals.

    Physics Question: Basal vs Canopy Anchor Forces

    Agreed! Also as you have stated previously, rope diameter and construction are factors too! Even the diameter of the bollard plays into it too!

    Physics Question: Basal vs Canopy Anchor Forces

    No that totally makes sense now! Thanks for the explanation! I can see this help further explain friction to new ground workers!

    Physics Question: Basal vs Canopy Anchor Forces

    Love these visuals for RELATIVE capstan friction. I am trying to figure out what the "Degrees" column represents in the bottom chart. Thanks

    SPRAT

    Yes! I’m using a treemotion. Using double bridges definitely helps and gives you more options for work positioning.

    SPRAT

    I'm SPRAT Certified. I have found that for tree work positioning, two separate lines, and two separate climbing devices proves to work the best for me. Most rope access industries stay very static and very vertical on the two lines whereas we move up, down, and laterally. Hope this helps!!

    1/2" Minimum Rope Requirements??

    Ah! thanks for the info! that makes sense!

    1/2" Minimum Rope Requirements??

    I have heard that 1/2" rope is now an industry standard requirement. If this is true per the new Ansi standard what is the reasoning?

    Ring to ring triple action cambium saver

    One small ring carabiner combined with with larger carabiner

    Ring to ring triple action cambium saver

    My thinking is a typical ring to ring saver that meets the triple action locking requirements our industry requires for life support. Basically developing a life support ring / carabiner style friction saver. That is all

    Ring to ring triple action cambium saver

    Petzl makes a semi circular carabiner that fits into our scope of work. What about a friction saver with a larger carabiner style ring and a smaller ring of the same construction??!

    Ring to ring triple action cambium saver

    Just curious if a ring to ring saver could be manufactured simulating an industry related life support biner in rings????
