DDRT or SRT?

[Ian Flatters]

As long as your in a tree and working safe it all good. I SRT for 90% these days probably 10% DRT. I find SRT much faster, efficient and better friction management for myself. Horses for courses really but i guess you really have to have given both a good bash to have a fair opinion.

Very small trees - I bodythrust (Ddrt)

Small trees - I use a pantin (Ddrt)

Medium trees - I footlock ... badly (Ddrt)

 

Anything bigger I use an SRT access line then switch over to Ddrt

[will.morris]

...reading that back, is footlocking classed as drt rather than Ddrt?

[BenR]

Mostly i send up a running bowline, srt up, advance DdRT and then depending on the tree and the type of job I work the tree DdRT or SRWP. Leaning towards SRWP for everything at the moment.

It depends as you can single line footlock, but both lines aren't static in the normal set up. I would say it's Ddrt.

secured footlocking with two static lines is drt and footlocking the tail is Ddrt

[Ewan Murray]

If line is just over a fork its not static as it can move, if it's alpined at the rope to cinch it to a limb only one leg is static. If both legs are tied off so both are static it's drt confusing when it comes to footlocking really.

I stand corrected mr murray, quite an in-depth look at it

[Danavan]

Depends on the situation for me.

 

Srt on larger tree access, then Ddrt for some situations.

 

Then normally Ddrt into my tip if I don't get a good wp line in from the ground after srt to as high as I can get. (which is quite alot as i'm snakes at throw lining) Then make chose as to srwp or Ddrt for working the tree.

I footlock, spike up, use srt or ddrt to access, then use ddrt or srwp to work the tree depending on what needs doing. What do I tick
