    Question MRS DdRT vs. SRS SRT

    The most unique and important characteristic is being overlooked, anchorage.

    Question MRS DdRT vs. SRS SRT

    My thoughts on what you said here. I have a single rope tied to a base that goes up and over a limb, comes back down 20' to a set of rings, in that set of rings I have a single rope, a tree climbing rope that is very static, that is doubled over into those rings going to the ground 20' below...

    Question MRS DdRT vs. SRS SRT

    So #17 is the ability to set twin lines. I think 17 was a special # so send me your address if you would like a free Footie.

    I think we agree. However a device applies "frictional contact", it has to have some variable to keep it in contact. Some tension to adjust to say a slight variation in rope size or shape, just something. That to me is most easily explained as a "spring" whether it be metal, textile or...

    Question MRS DdRT vs. SRS SRT

    Well sir, I'd say you should get a free Footie. Write me with your address and I bet I can make that happen

    Question MRS DdRT vs. SRS SRT

    I think some very good points were made. Please feel free to discuss it further and let me know if you would like a correction to this PDF. All are very valuable points. What I was looking for is the concept of tending which was mentioned. I think everyone knows this and to that point I...

    Question MRS DdRT vs. SRS SRT

    We are getting a pretty good list and it has helped me understand the general mindset and some good learning and conversation for a weekend. Let me add one I don't think was mentioned although elongation gets close. In a Doubled Moving rope and even in a doubled non-moving rope, the load bearing...

    Question MRS DdRT vs. SRS SRT

    I suspect the first time someone invented a rope they tried to climb it. Maybe rope wasn't even invented yet and it was a vine.

    Question MRS DdRT vs. SRS SRT

    "In SRS you and the device move on the rope, whereas in MRS you and the device move with the rope." So I think what you are saying is that in SRS the rope is not moving and in MRS the rope is moving, right? I know that seems obvious but this I believe is the first mention, correct? It is...

    Question MRS DdRT vs. SRS SRT

    Can you expand on this, it is a very important concept.

    Question MRS DdRT vs. SRS SRT

    I will work on adding those, some I think were covered so next pdf, please take a look and see if I missed any. Thank you!

    I can appreciate not being enamored. ;) I use "spring" as it is a common physical object on most mechanical devises that are are capable of providing some tension to then provide some friction, to then provide the functional friction we need for life support and functionality. I absolutely...

    Question MRS DdRT vs. SRS SRT

    So far this is what I have. Draft of SRT vs DdRT PDF attached.

    Fair enough but let me make a couple of points. 1. There are those on a Blakes hitch that would probably disagree when it comes to setup time. There are those doing multiple trees in a day using a hitch based system that leave it on the rope. Not doubt though, I can put a Unicender, Akimbo or...

    Question MRS DdRT vs. SRS SRT

    So my counting may have been confusing on how we get to 17 and we are at #32 posts now so let me changes the rules a little. Everyone that has contributed so far, up to this post, if you want a free footie, send me TreeBuzz email, tell me your post number and I will send you a free Footie. I...

    Question MRS DdRT vs. SRS SRT

    Let me throw this out there. Base anchor forces are really a subset of SRT, correct? But because it is seldom if ever used in DdRT or MRS I think that would be a fair addition but can a crazy person actually base anchor a moving rope? I think so and perhaps there could be a reason for it. I...

    Question MRS DdRT vs. SRS SRT

    What, do you guys think this was going to be easy?

    Question MRS DdRT vs. SRS SRT

    Did I lie? Anyway, on the "17th real response" there will be a free Footie from Climbing Innovations LLC. At this point I'm counting 10 real responses, differences between the systems. Of course we can always debate that as what would any thread be without some spirited debate. Maybe I'll...

    Question MRS DdRT vs. SRS SRT

    So far I would say we are at 10 Difference 1. Elongation 2. Mechanical Advantage 3. Setting the Tie-In-Point 4. System configuration 5. Ropes used 6. Friction variables 7. Equipment required 8. More or less variables 9. Difficulty in use. 10. Vertical movement and lateral...

    Question MRS DdRT vs. SRS SRT

    Can you be a little more descriptive on this one?? And by the way any responses I make don't count, I don't need a free Footie.
