ART friction saver instalation

[combined tree services]

hiya guys does anyone know of a way to put an art friction saver up from the ground with a throw line or is there a way to do it even ???

I have heard that there is (Drew B?), but it's such a bollock you are better off installing a standard cambium saver first, then installing the ART manually once you have made your first ascent.

Im certain you have a bag on each end of the line, but cant remember the full SP! its years since I saw it done, the arbormasters trained boys do it.

Correct. Effectively it is not possible, it can be done with two throwlines and stuff but not worth the tangle. Give it up and step away from the idea!

 

Just throwline, footlock/srt and install RG when you get there.

Ditto, srt is something well worth getting into its simple and effective, it also makes throwlining a little easier as you don't have to isolate a branch.

Ive put some pics up in another thread on how to install the old type but apparently this works for all of them........it doesnt go through the retrieval clip though

so why fanny about with a piece of kit that cost £120+ as opposed to a normal cambium saver that cost £20? Can it ever be worth it?
