[Climbers] Any reasons to hold-off (or reconsider) buying an Echo 2511T?
I tried the makita xcu06t a little over a year ago now and was disappointed with it. The marketing on youtube was very compelling. I don't think 18v is adequate. Returned it to the store after a few days and got a refund. The size and weight are certainly impressive for climbing, but the torque...- snunyabizness

Several months ago I stumbled across the twin rope climbing technique (TRT) and wanted to master some of the concepts using the gear I already own without purchasing any specialized equipment, so that I would have effective methods to work certain scenarios (like failed or dead trees), but using...- snunyabizness

How do you “ethically” ascend redwoods with weak anchor branches?
youtuber "diagentanoen" in Japan has several pruning videos relevant to this discussion where he spurs up beanpoles with absolutely no supportive branches and repels out from retrievable trunk cinches. What is interesting are the type of spurs he wears. Seems the 4 points per foot would grip...- snunyabizness

Why no hitch for SRT?
It has really taken me a while to wrap my head around this, and from digging through the forums, i'm not alone. This is a summary of what I have sorted out. @TheTreeSpyder and @misfit both bring up great points. A: whether descending or tending the hitch, it has to be unloaded just enough to...- snunyabizness

Can you work srt with just a prussik??
credit to @Brocky for the "sticht" hitch. Reminds me of the hitchhiker device. Initial impression is that it actually works pretty darn good and smooth as butter. there's several variations on this thread: https://www.treebuzz.com/forum/threads/sticht-hitch.40355/page-9- snunyabizness

Sticht Hitch
came across your stitch hitch concept @Brocky while researching ways to back up a rescue 8 with a prusik.. in order to learn twin rope technique (TRT) on the 11.7mm ropes and gear I already own and use. I don't feel confident on 8mm rope really. This hitch is a true gem. Thank you for sharing...- snunyabizness
