SRT base anchors and rescue anchors

I don't do it all because I can't stand the amount of bounce in the system and having to to make the TIP a bit lower can be annoying.

Of course, there are exceptions when I would use it for safety reasons.

 

You've said that before and I don't understand because the reason I use base ties is precisely because it allows me higher access into the canopy. I am not sure if srt would even be worth it without the base tie. The redirects I use in this tree would not be possible without a base tie. Having a base tie also allowed my ground guy to add additional line into the system. This required another line being tied onto my 200 footer.

With a canopy tie, the pull ends up often being across the wood grain,especially with a redirect. with a base tie, I find it easier to orient the force in line with the wood grain.

A possible misunderstanding.

I use a base tie to gain access to the tree but the tie in to the top of the tree to start work.

I only work off a base tie if I'm doing a crown lift or a dead wood job or if its a thin tree and I need to spread my weight over multiple branches, as you describe Kevin.

 

Don't forget though, most of the trees I climb here are around 20-30m tall and quite bendy.

 

I'm sure I would base tie to work if I was in really big trees.
