So Corey better known as Human on YouTube took a fall last week. His tie in point broke up high in a large oak and he plummeted 25' or so straight to the ground and broke his pelvis and suffered an L5 injury. He was climbing SRT with a base anchor and had claimed he tested his tie in point...
That's definitely an interesting growth pattern you got there, have a guy like nick take a look at it and he'll give you an honest opinion. It's very tough to give you any opinions based on pictures
Not too many ppl want to give them up, they're both amazing pieces of equipment, I'd never sell my RopeRunner, however I do have a zigzag I don't use anymore if you're interested
I've heard adding a wrench to that is one of the smoothest ways to SRT out there
Hey guys, I have a pair of Buckingham Steel Spikes with C-cup pads and leather straps for sale. I'm selling them because I just don't need a second set laying around ( I purchased steins for a steal) and have no use for these good old boys . The spurs were bought just over a year ago and have...
Gotcha, I big shot 95% of the time since most of my tie ins are at around 65' or higher. It's a nice tool to have in the box, but I'm honking about building myself an APTA. Should be really cool
Well duh lol
I meant if you were hand throwing or using a big shot or APTA. One of the benifits of SRT is being able to get that perfect TIP and using those systems really help
You can do either really, usually though it's while you're up in the tree, unless there's two very wide set leads, or a broad canopy.
However each time I've done it I've set it in the tree and only for very long and work intensive limbs walks such as pruning a tree back off a house or other...
Mel, I've only been climbing part time for about a year and a half but I've come Such a long way!
I remember when I first started out, lol I shook like a leaf every time I got above 20' off the ground. But then I just kept pushing myself to practice more and more and Go outside my comfort...
Lol, well I guess it's all a matter of opinion, I sewed mine so the point wouldn't move, worked pretty well for me. Plus I'm a small guy so the suspenders helped keep the saddle up without me having to wrench down the belt
Thinking about buying another line for it though, I currently run Tachyon with the bolllard all the way open and it performs alright but I feel like it could be smoother . I'm in NJ So my trees are almost always less than 85' that I climb
