The time has finally come

[Joe Newton]

SRT to the rescue today. After a bottle and a half of Sauvignon last night I went to work with a thumping head. First job was a monster leaning beech to tip back from a house. The lean was away from the house so would have put my anchor point way away from where I needed to be on DDRT, plus the friction past all the branches would have been a nightmare!

 

Blasted a throwline through the top of the canopy, base tie, and up I went. Dropped through a load of forks until I ended up right above my target. Few cuts, straight down, untied the bowline and pulled my rope out.

 

Reckon it cut the job time in half, and I didn't struggle a bit!

Didn't take any mate. Was hungover and it was foggy as hell.

 

What're you getting at?

[Mark Bolam]

He's calling you a liar.

And a gayer.

[Mick Dempsey]

So, if a guy, an older guy maybe around 52 (handsome but not annoyingly so) wanted to try his hand at this stuff what would be his first purchase?

I've got a load of 11 mm rope from my foray into the world of zigzag, so rope's not an issue. I understand the basic premise of it

Don't start throwing loads of intials at me please, just a device, that I can order from HBs.

 

 

Ps Hungover on a bottle and a half of Sauvignon?

Thank god.

 

I was worried it might be something slanderous.

I'd suggest that the poor confused old man bought a rope wrench, tether for said wrench, and a pantin (foot ascender)

 

And one beer Mick. I weigh a little more than a wet fart though.

Okely dokely. Thanks.

Never mix the hop and the grape I'm told.

I had a very similar scenario myself today Joe. In fact i'd go as far as to say that I don't think this tree would have even been possible with Ddrt. I think i'm converted.
