    SRT Setup

    Nice to have, but really there is a wealth of info on the net free of charge. Still though there is no replacement to finding someone in your locale to stretch some rope with. It’s always a good idea to climb with a partner anyway! I’m sure a quick search will dredge up an interested person.

    SRT Setup

    If you footlock to unweight you still need to tie in so you can add rap device or whatever you plan to use. But yes footlock replaces loop. The concept is still the same

    SRT Setup

    Footlock does not secure your body to the rope. You must be secure at all times.

    SRT Setup

    This where de weighting becomes useful to understand, both as a groundie and as the climber. You can use the same rigging to pull trees too so it adds versatility in your understanding of rigging, just as pulley work does, how to set a 2:1 or 5:1 etc.

    SRT Setup

    There are videos that explain rescue setups. Some where the groundie can unweight the basal tie and lower you, but that means you can’t be using a fixed tie in point at the top. Or the other way is to provide a length of rope that the rescuer can use to get to you and lower from. It depends...

    SRT Setup

    This year I experienced heat exhaustion that forced me to evacuate the tree or risk passing out. My breathing was fast and I couldn’t slow it down. That requires fast thinking to self rescue and make the right moves under stressful circumstances.

    You will end up with other issues, panic being one of them. And you can squeeze the blood right off on a limb and still move it till it dies. Trust me, hanging for a super long time will suck. I live in an area that rescue won’t show up for at least an hour, then they will need time to formulate...

    SRT Setup

    Ok here’s a simple cheap way to unload a stick device. If you have a couple loops of webbing or cordage or tie a loo in the tail of the rope you can install a prusic above the stuck bit and hook into that to stand up on the loop. Then tie into that anchor long enough to install figure 8 and...

    Here's my dream set up, gear wise for Rec Tree Climbing...

    Great list, in my opinion it’s pretty much the minimum kit to be versatile. The slings, in my opinion should be made of heat resistant prusic cordage, webbing is nice but doesn’t work well as hitch cord too. The hook, heavy especially with the extra rope and storage bag. When I use it, I have a...

    SRT Setup

    I really advocate proper training, if I had to start all over again I would go that route. Today, there is an explosion of gear, it’s bewildering the combinations that a climber can come up with. But the basic, easiest setups that are tried and tested need to be learned before you re invent the...

    SRT Setup

    Be advised! If you are climbing on a prusic or some other device that can or will bind or not release under load you will not be able to unweight to insert a belay device ! This can be really bad! A seized and weighted hitch will not go in either direction when weighted. This is why it’s super...

    Steel toe while climbing?

    In our area, steel toes are a non issue. Most logging boots are not made with steel toe. Furthermore, the likelihood of them actually doing anything to make your foot safer is pretty remote. Most strikes by saw happen to the side of the foot.

    holy SHIT !!!

    The reason y’all do that- is the same reason we make sure a load limit is never exceeded in rope work! You can always dig out good ground to either prove the sub strata safe or make it so and replace with good when done work. You wouldn’t build a building on a foundation that wouldn’t take the...

    Good luck.

    You can also carry a figure eight and rap down on that but whatever you decide, make sure it works with weight on before you leave the ground.

    SRT Setup

    There is going to be all kinds of advice on this one! You can spend zillions of dollars on gear and have fun learning how to make it work. In truth you can do SRT with prusic cord and 2 loops of webbing, slow but it works. The combo that works for me now, is a unicender connected by biner to...

    My WOD

    This type of training is done by high level athletes that do cardio demanding activities, because it does not increase muscle mass but does increase strength and endurance. It also aggressively targets fat loss due to high calorie consumption. Trust me if you can do this type of workout with...

    What it does is demand more from your heart while you train. It increases the bodies ability to move blood rapidly and strengthens the heart. If you think you can handle more weight and still stay on track with the reps and the rest periods, by all means load up! You will only get more powerful...
