Duel line base anchor setup.

[Adam Bourne]

The duel line base anchor is great for tall trees or when tying a base anchor with the working line will use up line you may need. Completely adjustable and closed. NOT for rescue.

hi Adam, being new to SRT can you tell me the knots you used alpine butterfly ? and ...

[Adam Bourne]

Alpine butterfly, 8 wrap Prussic (it's better to have more of an area covered as you want more friction than what a 6 wrap Prussic would create) and 2 triple fishermans to attach the Ring. Oh and a marlin spike to add the weight at the bottom of my climbing system. Think that's everyone?? Lol

I've done a couple of videos lately with 2 different retrievable top ties! I may do something similar. Not sure yet but thanks

What is the benefit over chocking the line around the base ?

[Adam Bourne]

Depends if your referring to the working line or the anchor line mate!

 

Work line would use to much rope to base tie. (Obviously depending on how long the climbing line is. 50m in this case.)

 

chocking the anchor line is ok if you've pre installed the ring! Otherwise joining the 2 lines would mean you would either have to tie rope on rope or use a bina! Either way for me this way would be impractical.

How do you find untying those triple fishermans on the ring? I usually just do a Figure 8 Follow Through.

 

You know it's a really tall tree when the ring connection ends up near the top!

To be fair I've never had a problem untying them mate, I don't think they really load heavy, think it all depends on how much the line is redirected from the crown.
