How long is your rope

How long is your access Rope?

Long enough to get me where I gotta be ,depends on the tree! Seriously though I personally run srtwp these days so access is work line and have lots to choose from . TREESTUFF. COM is an addiction I can't overcome right now nor do I want too! Different lengths for different trees and species. Trying not to whoop one up too much.

120 and 200 but I also have a 200 foot Basal anchor line. What gets used and how it is setup is really all about the tree and the job at hand that day.

150 and 200, hopefully soon a 100 footer for small trees.

300' is my "normal" canopy access line.

Got an 80', 90', 117', 120, 150', and 2 @ 200' all for SRWP. Choice depends on tree and scope of work.

Rope/ Treestuff.com junkie right here!

I've been told its average, why what did you hear?

200' It is the rare situation I need more. I used to have shorter ropes but since it's in a bag, I only take out as much as I'm using no matter the tree.

Lol ..long enough to tease them and just enough to please them .. and then they get the bull dog bone!

300 is in my main kit and I also have a 150 I use in smaller trees

Thanks for this thread! I live in MN and use a 100. This has never prevented me from reaching the top of a canopy but I have had many times where it was barely enough. I need to buy a new rope for backpacking and I am torn between the lightness of a 100' rope vs a 150' rope which would save a lot of time on certain climbs.

Think about the purpose of your rope. Is it to be light in your pack or to get you to the ground safely in any situation?

Treehumper, when you put it like that my question seems quite easy to answer haha.
