    Double bridges?!?... Reasons?

    Yeah I got a spare TM bridge and it’s still in the bottom of my bag. Longest lasting bridge I’ve used. I still lanyard in on two systems when cutting (Usually In albizia I’ll go two systems, I don’t trust those fast growing trees much)

    Double bridges?!?... Reasons?

    I probably should have mentioned I have a Dmm axis swivel on bridge and since then I never had a situation on two systems or lanyard to bridge where I got tangled up. I noticed several new saddles now with two bridges. When, where or how did two bridges become a thing? If there’s a good reason...

    SJ3 vs. HC

    Not the 3 but the 2.1 dyneema version. There’s a weird counterintuitive where on a hitch you set your hitch/ease into it and spidey jack basically you let it go and it bites. If you ease into setback, will not set. What got me more used to it was the art lanyard adjuster. Similar concept...

    Double bridges?!?... Reasons?

    I’m not yet convinced it’s a worth it except for getting nailed in the junk with the second ring. Anyone using it and what for. Am I missing something? I’m srt rope wrench/hitch climber and ddrt zigzag or hitch climber.

    ART Twinline Rope Guide

    I got the older rope guide and agree on the trapeze. Also on retrieval, the cam slacks and loosens the cinch and flips out through the ring nicely. I use throw line to guide retrieval so I don’t harm “my precious”

    SRT canopy anchor with Texas tug.

    I used to do shorter lines, but have to throw and tie in each tree( I not a fan of base tie on monkey pod, previously trimmed limbs zigzag a bunch and gets springy) I tried this method on monkeypods three in a row with long line I just keep moving laterally from tree to tree trying to keep...

    Your Preferred Carabiners?

    Most all DMM and petzl “O”. I did pick up a couple DMM perfect O for my hitch to bridge, so far I like em. I do like the grippier gate on the my older DMMs.

    Petzl Adjust as a lanyard?

    Thanks for the feedback. Just tossing it out there since I had the idea. Heck I remember the discussions of zigzag and rope wrench a while back and now pretzel has the Shaka khan so things evolve sometimes.

    Petzl Adjust as a lanyard?

    Yeah good points. It is used a single point anchor on industrial and tower work and I find I’m “unweighting” it a little when adjusting.

    Petzl Adjust as a lanyard?

    Any thoughts? Replace line with longer Tritech maybe. I use one for industrial climbing work position but have played with it and seems like it would work great as a lanyard adjuster.

    SRT canopy anchor with Texas tug.

    Srt canopy anchor Here’s my idea on retrievable canopy anchor. I’m calling it the Hamel PA tug. (Ring loop and a revolver carabiner) based on soft 8 srt install by country boy PA and added a Texas tug. Lemme know what you think. I’ve set it a few times and have yet to get it stuck.

    Knots.

    Amos, I get what you're looking into. Like the different methods of tying butterfly, three wraps on hand and leapfrogging the coils and voila-vs-twist the bight twice an fold over and through. Tying running bowline one handed with your offhand while way out on a tip. Comes in handy to...

    Knots.

    One neat one is tying a alpine butterfly around standing end of line. Instead of running bowline. I just undid one and figured out how to tie it with the loop around another line. Great for this without having to remove or feed the whole line thru the loop in the butterfly.

    I got stuck in a tree and had to get rescued!

    Pho knee! Glad to see you're having fun up there! It's nice to see someone "getting it" and enjoying time up in the office. Climb safe and keep learning!

    pulley saver solutions....or problems?

    Mat, the older pulleysaver had a habit of getting stuck on the soft eye when choked since it had the bigger "rig" pulley. For me anyway. I try to get the eye to be the " up and over" part so the pulley isn't going up through crotch. I don't like that thing bombing down either. Tail of my line...

    pulley saver solutions....or problems?

    I know what you mean, and I have done just that. 4mm cord to the soft eye and using the old style red snap to running side on line. Made more sense to pull down on the eye to release the pinto. Pinto gets stuck at times. So I gave up on it for now. I got a art rope guide and that thing is...

    Quick phone video of it.

    Photos of base anchors, let's see'em.

    . Snake Anchor, Rig, two locking carabiners…I will pull out enough line to work on, the rest stays in the bucket at the base. 200 feet of rocket line just stuffs into the bucket. on a bigger tree I use a second line tied to my working line just above the rig. Similar to what PA countryboy...

    2014 ZigZag .... safe?????

    I like the zz, had first model and returned on recall and got a check back. Picked up one couple weeks ago. I gotta say I still put my hand up there to "set my hitch" by instinct on occasion. Yes it's life support, so is lanyard and all the other pulleys and whatnot in your climbing system. I...
