Five Dead Ash Lift Vs Climbing
he's showing a nice "quickdraw" technique using cloves on a bight to take down an EAB tree with decay. might be helpful to you on this job. be safe.- snunyabizness

Sticht Hitch
the big ring on the figure 8 is captured below the wraps on a distel hitch. not midline attachable. tends smoothly. (the snap biner is for demonstration only). @Brocky probably knows the correct hitch to use instead of the distel.- snunyabizness

been watching his "what i do and why" rigging series on y/t and it's on another level of goodness. Have had to rewind more than a few times :)- snunyabizness

Canopy Anchors
the fact that it is named the "soft 8" makes me wonder if there's such thing as "hard 8" for this purpose. These are things i ponder on long hikes. My basic rescue figure8 (I think bought from REI maybe) is rated for 35kn and I can't image any branch larger diameter than i'm comfortable tying...- snunyabizness

bear's grip hitch
the yt algorithm just showed me this... first impressions are wow, this would be great for light solo rigging. will need to test it and see how securely it holds and how reliably it releases.- snunyabizness

you are correct. thanks for mentioning that. It's a good study but with limitations even mentioned in the report. It is debatable what favors longevity. Tree work is unique from other disciplines. Every tree is different. Some senior climbers I admire make a good case for DdRT and legit...- snunyabizness

great way to explain it! the big benefit of climbing on the petzl spin is the single direction pulley removes friction as you would expect of a pulley, but adds enough friction on the holding/tending and release phases to run it with easy finger pressure so it doesn't destroy your hands and biceps- snunyabizness

Absolutely valid so long as you get a secure working position with both hands free. Still I try to prevent shock loading on the toothed-cam ascenders. Some folks will redirect off their hand ascender too. Probably fine in most situations but a violent enough bounce may damage the rope.- snunyabizness

good point. Even installing your climb line can damage the cambium in sensitive trees so using a canopy anchor won't prevent it either. But a friction saver does and is remotely retrievable. And you can SRT off a friction saver all day long. Reminds me of this recent post: Post in thread 'How...- snunyabizness

This is not a "system" These are just a few ways that you can integrate SRT into your DdRT session. It is implied that DdRT is always available within an SRT session or that techniques implemented like the SCAM give mechanical advantage on SRT. Realistically, DdRT is much easier on the body and...- snunyabizness

you could use any retrievable redirect you want to. There are many. I like the beasthorn because it requires nothing more than your rope. the tail has no climber weight on it, I just need to keep it with me so I can retrieve the knot remotely.- snunyabizness

imagine another option would be to tie the midline knot and pull up two static lines on your floating block. Do the entire climb SRT with the two static lines. Not something I've done. If you like the knee ascender, just wear it and use it when you switch to SRT off a redirect.- snunyabizness

I use a knee ascender regularly too but I don't prefer it. But some trees call for it and I wear the knee ascender the whole time. But sometimes I just need to climb 50' and then I can switch to DdRT. So I put on two foot ascenders, tie a midline knot in my moving rope, and pull up a floating...- snunyabizness

sorry man. I didn't maybe give enough context. I like to climb DdRT when I can, but I also do a lot of SRT climbing as well. These are just some ways that you can blend the two. For example, you're climbing around in a tree MRS and decide you'd like to redirect and work a zone SRT. So you anchor...- snunyabizness
