The 'Cooper hitch' hits Arbtalk

 

pretty awesome hitch

 

I tried it today as my regular vt is a bit slick for the rw. Tied with the same cord and it was useless. I think I need to try it with some new cord though before final judgement is made.

 

I quickly went back to a vt.

You tried it with the rope wrench or Ddrt?

We were practicing AR this morning. After an inspection of a tree, the boss asked me to go back up for his groundie to rescue me. I thought I would save a bit of effort and put the rw and pantin on and tied the super cooper for the ascent. It was terrible in the combination I used it in. Possible due to a bit of memory in the hitch cord. When I was at the top, I got them to unclip my baseal tie off and climbed the tree dbrt. Still sticky and not smooth, so I swapped back to a VT for the last climb.

 

As I said, an old, used bit of cord. Gonna try it out with a new piece of cord sometime.

Today's Lime removal. The ground level had been lifted at some point and the tree was slightly hollow. my groundy put a few logs down first so he could touch the bottom.

Guess im the only one who likes the Sooper cooper?? Still think its great SRT RW and on DRT.

I tried it briefly didnt particularly think it was amazing didnt like how far it sits from the pulley or the sit back, will give it another try at some point
