DON'T EVEN TRY IT!
If it is not posted on you tube it has never happened anywhere, by anyone...lmfao. I like you tube, but I also realize that only a small portion of the world has access to it or even gives a shit. You are not the only one who has ever done anything. Get your head out of your ass and move on- RyTheTreeGuy

What % of Climbers do you think...
If I was to guess, and this is just that...I would say the ability to disconnect without having to untie and re-tie the system is what differentiates. Using a single piece of rope hitched back on itself is a loop...it is "closed" and ultimately the hitch must be undone to open the loop. When you...- RyTheTreeGuy

What % of Climbers do you think...
My understanding is that a closed system is as mentioned...a single piece of rope that is hitched to the climber and then the tail is hitched to the rope in a MRS with a blakes, tautline, etc. A open system is when you add in a split tail, hitch cord or other device....at least that is my...- RyTheTreeGuy

UK. Two ropes at all times(USA next?)
There is a very good pod cast with Jeff Inman from climbing arborist and their discussion is mostly based on the 2 rope system. He is definitely an advocate of 2 ropes, however, he even states that it is situational and that it does not work 100% of the time....Either way it is a good pod cast...- RyTheTreeGuy

Looking into New Rope?
Braid and lace 11.5 wizard line has been super duper smooth with a 28" 8 mm armor prus 4/2 michoacan on the rope wrench. It is super glassy...scary fast at times and grabs when I need it to. Also runs very well in my akimbo. It is 100% polyester so it is nice...very little bounce for the trees...- RyTheTreeGuy

Switch side of the butterfly in the friction saver
Thank you for your thorough response... I must preface all of this by saying thisbis not always my anchor system of choice. However, in certain circumstances It has been a nice addition to the tool box. If you are having concerns about this system it has definitely given me cause for...- RyTheTreeGuy

Switch side of the butterfly in the friction saver
I am not following you...it is a spliced 16 strand friction saver that I use for a canopy anchor. The alpine butterfly is used as a knot block and the biner is there as an extra safety. I climb on the tri link side and the knot blocks on the small mallion. Retrieval is very easy even with...- RyTheTreeGuy

Public Park Climbing....
As a matter of fact this happened to me 3 days ago. I found a heritage red oak on the internet that was only 30 mins from me. A beautiful majestic tree approx. 300 years old. It was in the middle large field at a park that has a waterfront trail. It was the center piece of the parks...- RyTheTreeGuy

Switch side of the butterfly in the friction saver
Since I spliced up a mid line attatchable canopy anchor it has been my go to for canopy anchors. I have tried very hard to find the amount of redirects I can take and not be able to take it out. I have done 7 with it and it still pulled out very easily. Works awesome...for tough trees to isolate...- RyTheTreeGuy

Chipper hourly rate in Canada?
Our 300 Minimum would be if the pile was curbside and ready to be thrown in the chipper. It would have to be very close to our location and most likely only 30 mins or less of work. So a small pile of brush and haul away...basically $300 just to show up. Any extra work is added to that. If we...- RyTheTreeGuy

Chipper hourly rate in Canada?
I have been on the giving end as well as the recieving end of this. Prior to purchasing our own chipper we would have to contract out the chipping. Keep in mind we knew how to pile brush and it would always be by the curb or close to where the chipper would be located. The most we ever had to...- RyTheTreeGuy
