DRT traverse vs. DdRT/SRT traverse

[Richard Mumford-yoyoman]

Now that I have tested the tension, I'm liking this system and finding it faster and more efficient for moving thru the canopy, still can't catch those darn squirrels though.

Comments or suggestions for improvement?

Nice stuff Rich. Do you stay up at night and think of crazy stuff to try, lol. Do me a favor and set up that system up really low and test something for me. My only concern is if something should happen and the zigzag gets compressed(decent mode) and the ropes want to become slack.....will the single or double prussics save the whole thing and you from falling? In my head I think it will but I figure you might know or want to know for sure. Thx and nice vids again.

Hey Rich, I like that a lot. The thing about traditional DdRT traverses (double crotching) is there's a lot of climbing down and climbing up, if it's any distance. This system you've shown here certainly requires less effort.
