I don't get it. 

 

So you put your main line in high then limb walked out to the end of the branch and tethered a double rope from it's end to the trunk and then used that horizontal rope to lanyard yourself around the branch whilst weight was taken mainly on the main line?

 

Correct?

Nah, literally just add another doubled rope system to a different anchor point, just like your main line, but to somewhere else in the canopy, wherever is going to work. 

 

That way your weight is supported in 2 directions, kind of triangulating yourself, and you still have your lanyard available to clip in where you want to cut.

 

I haven't got a picture to hand, but if its still unclear ill get busy with paint.

No, I get what you mean. That pic was so horizontal looking it put me off what he was getting at.

Yeah, the horizontal line doesn't really benefit you much imo. Ideally you want two high points going out at opposite angles to your limb walk for it to be really beneficial.

That pic was really me getting out to an end of a limb and taking a slow ride back..? but it could be anywhere, and that’s my point. If placed higher then you can traverse between the two to get the bottom of the triangulation point, where you want to be. Use your lanyard to hold you into your place and cut the point you want without being pushed out buy the saw.

abit of what joe newton was saying ?
