    SRT Basal Anchor Forces - Should I Basal Anchor Across the Yard??

    Yeah pretty much exactly - sorry, which video is that exactly? In short I think I got my answer from all yall in that...sure, you can move your basal away from the tree as long as it doesn't bring the resultant force angle away from the base of the tree / your TIP. It could make sense to do...

    SRT Basal Anchor Forces - Should I Basal Anchor Across the Yard??

    Yes - I was just trying to find the right way to ask it with some supplemental video of 'close enough' concepts. Anyways, I like what you said here and I agree for the most part. I'm wondering if there's any good literature out there (similar to the angle / force vector charts) about side...

    SRT Basal Anchor Forces - Should I Basal Anchor Across the Yard??

    Believe me I've been confusing myself over this too!

    I've requested it from my trainer, i'll link it when I have it

    SRT Basal Anchor Forces - Should I Basal Anchor Across the Yard??

    Yes! Like, at what point is the open vector worth it vs. the increased side loaded torque / bending moment added to the system. I don't think I've seen the pros/cons contrasted anywhere before.

    SRT Basal Anchor Forces - Should I Basal Anchor Across the Yard??

    Okay, so i've been looking, and this short video does a good job of covering what I'm asking about: Now the question is...is it always better to basal anchor as far away horizontally from the base of your tree as practical? (assuming it's practical and there are no additional safety concerns...

    SRT Basal Anchor Forces - Should I Basal Anchor Across the Yard??

    Okay, so I just became aware of two competing "truths" that I've had bouncing around in my toolbox for climbing and rigging: 1. While rigging / routing SRT basal systems, it is good to load the spine / spar of a tree or limb, since you deflect a lot of force 'vertically' with the strength of...

    Crane accident...

    I want to make it clear that I mean this with all due respect, but in my opinion I agree with the people who are saying both are at fault and this situation shows gross incompetence on all parties involved. If you don't know enough physics / rigging / trees in general to be able to tell where to...

    Redirecting Rope to Limb Walk

    Subscribe to Richard Mumford on YT - there are a few videos on this topic of his. He does load tests of anchors and what-not at different angles, redirects, systems, etc.

    What a journey, wading through this thread..."posthumously."

    Canopy anchor curiosity

    Yeah, it's also nice because if you get up to your anchor and need to go higher or elsewhere you can untie it aloft and set it again rather than dealing with the hassle of untying an alpine up there.

    High Cribbing - Best way to be stable??

    Yeah those pads look real sweet - I'm gonna have to track some down

    High Cribbing - Best way to be stable??

    Regular basis - 1-3 times per week, but rarely does slope come up to this degree.

    High Cribbing - Best way to be stable??

    Anybody got any tips? We have loads of 6x6s that we will jenga stack to go under our wider outrigger pads, but once the stack goes up beyond 2 to 3 layers I've been quite concerned with stability. For our rear stabilizer we have another jenga stack that goes even higher too. Last time I tried...
