Tree Access and Tree Climbing from DRT to SRT Tree Climbing w/ Jeff Inman

Показать описание

ISC Athlete, arborist, and world-class climber Jeff Inman uses TreeStuff's tiny tree to demonstrate some of the practical differences between doubled rope and single rope techniques. He uses real climbing gear on a model tree to show how anchor points, canopy movement, and rope management change from one system to another.

Recorded live from the TreeStuff Micro Rigging Lab at ArborFest Expo 2019.

As a total newbie trying to learn about which system to begin with and invest in, this video was perfect. It's the first time I actually understood the difference between double and single rope. At first, I thought double rope mean two separate ropes, one being a safety or back up. Simple, but for someone new, an easy mistake to make. Also agree that the micro tree is awesome for demonstration. Thanks for helping me learn.

I’ve been searching for a video like this. Been looking for a tutorial that really explains the growth from double to single.

wow. haven't climbed since I was in my early 20s .. and that was in the early 1980's

I'm now in my 60s and wanting to fix my trees so I starting looking to get some gear .. oh my, there certainly has been some evolution from the double rope and prusik system we used (with ship ropes). There is a mind boggling around of paraphernalia these days.

Thanks for the evolutionary line walk .. I was one of those at the beginning using what is now called DRT. Those days it was the only technique. From memory our fitness was such that we coped with hip thrusts. I certainly could have used a bridge. We just attached from a central point on the harness. As for getting around, well we were limited. For broad crowned trees we worked out of cherry pickers.

I'm keen on what you call SRT given its superior manoeuvrability with 'redirects 'and I'm liking the friction saver set up in a Canabase? way.

Thanks for posting. Wish me luck

I just got my rope wrench and the first test was good. A lot of good tips in your video.

Some really good stuff there Jeff.
I've used 2 independent systems many times( not the way you were showing, I've never seen that setup before, that's really sweet! ) and absolutely see the benefit of that "technique" of climbing.
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and insight.
Keep yourself safe!

Actually really makes DRT look so simple and easy to do everything this can do with less gear.

at 19:26 How do you move the SRT line when its tied in to the other side of the tree? I know you do not UNTIE or UNSET the SRT but if the limb you need to work on is further out than you can reach and lets say 110 degree angle, HOW DO YOU REACH OUT THAT FAR? (caps for emphasis and making a point/idea) Its too far to push away/push off the main trunk so what do you do?
