Here’s what I put in the tree. That’s a whole other practice and discipline. I had to learn how to set up the line in its crate, effectively toss, tie rope to throw line as well as thread friction/ cambium saver through. I felt like spurring up the tree to put the rope in!!! It’s a workout. Can’t wait for proper training to learn much more. It’s amazing how a rope tied to a rope can allow you to ascend, descend, and stay put. AmazingTimberdonkey,
We’re cut from the same cloth apparently. I got off the spurs 2 days ago for the same reasons you listed. I also have a climber coming over for training. I have the weaver 4 d ring saddle too. This is what I bought to have a complete drt/mrt setup (see picture). I’ve been body thrusting up to the 10’ mark quite often for the past few days- even took a saw, wrapped a secondary lanyard around the tree, and pruned a branch. I just thought a kit was easy and it was from an arborist supplier. I have not bought any life safety equipment from eBay or Amazon! I’m sure there’s good stuff on those sites but I don’t know exactly how to weed out the bad except maybe by brand. I wish you well in your endeavor! Lots a good experienced folks here willing to help is awesome!
