Not at all Adam. I've worked on one for a full day and it's never moved under load nor letting slack in the system. I like it mate. Simple quick no nonsense :)

 

Cool,Yeh its good and better than pissing about with base anchors.

Less friction on retrieval, if you notice in the pictures the bina is away from the stem of the tree also. Less chance of it being opened by rubbing on the stem like a bina would! Pinto helps keep the bina In one place unlike just using a bina when there becomes slack in the system there could be a chance the bina could rotate!!

Ever tried pulling a line out with several natural redirects without a pinto at the top?

Nope.

 

I don't use srt, so was just wondering.

Your answer is as clear as mud to the non srt user.

 

Thanks anyway.

Now there's a real answer.

 

Thanks for taking the time to explain.

Why the steel biner? Any reason or just cause it was in your bag?

I use my pulley saver as well. Much less friction on retrieval and why not as it cost a lot and I would rather it be used.

I use a multisling/cambium saver and tie off with alpine butterfly backed up with crab on the non working side just like drt. It's tied in at the top and easily retrievable no matter where your working rope is in the tree

 

Same, no matter how many redirects it always retrieves. Also takes the same amount of time to set up as the pinto tie in.

Just my preferred method

I only use it when pruning. Most of my work is takedowns though. The other week I had it tied off like this and ended up transferring across 7 or 8 trees weaving through them all as I went. They were only thin but it would have been a nightmare retrieving or having to climb back through to my tie in point. It took a couple of us to start pulling it through until the friction eased off a bit.
