Got all my rope walking stuff. I love it! SRT is a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. Walking rope is much easier than footlocking. I just need to get some more practice in and, I will be a very happy camper. So will the trees I care for. Once again thanks Kevin.
 
I am using the f8 revolver system with a Kong robot replacing the figure of eight and locking revolver. Also I have a CMI ulra-sender for my left hand,and a CMI right foot ascender. I use a distel hitch with a hitch climber. If you want to see the system look on YouTube for "rope walking with a hitch". This system is broght to you by Kevin Bingham. Also look for "f8 revolver" on YouTube. It is the more informitive vidio. I love this system, and how easy it is to switch from ascending to working.
 
Okay, What is the difference in these two systems? In On rope, the "rope walking system is very complicated and has extra ascenders for I dont know what, the frog walking systems have no foot ascender. I am unclear of the nomenclature of this system.
 
This IS the tree frog system, but minus a chest ascender. Plus a hitch. The tree frog system dose have a foot ascender. Sherrill tree sells the system for around 275, but it is not as versitile as Kevin's system. The Kong dose not have any life support function it is there to supply extra friction for your hitch so it runs smother.
 
If you would use the croll above the hitch, it will tail up when using a foot ascender. Even with a little weight on the rope a hitch at your waist will tend once loosened.

Like Jimmy said, if it was me i would integrate a croll into the system. That way all backups are satisfied. It will probably make things smoother. For me though, i just throw a footlocking hitch above and footlock up keeping my hitch at my waist.
 
Ok... I guess this is the treebing system then, and it works great! I walked up and worked off my new lava rope with ease. I think it was like being on a ladder. I am new to SRT and I don't think I am going back to doubled rope. Well if my boss would just let me be and stop spurring trims.
 
Or come over to Texas.Also as far as pruning with spikes you gotta look your boss in the eyes and say NO like you would to a dog trying to get in the trash or hunch your leg.J/K,but you may need to find a company that does proper tree care if he will not let you.
 
One day roger I will have 2500 bucks to get something like that,but it ain't that hard to do what I am doing right now. I prefer to use ascenders right now. It helps me keep my hot bod in shape. LOL.
 
wouldnt you have to lower the wraptor down if your climbing the tree srt like dan dans doing.hes using a variation of the fate revolver so I believe hes building his system around that.Not to mention he works for some guy who makes him spike prunes-you think hes gonna run out and drop 2500 on a wraptor,be realistic.Im sure Dan makes wages for this dude so I doubt hes got 2500 laying around either.So Im probably thinking the wraptor is out of the question -correct me if im wrong Dan.
