SRT tip for spar work, foot ascender & HAAS trick

Here's a quick positioning trick I use when pruning the pines in my area. SRT makes for quick access and this positioning trick make for secure footing without need for spikes or Gaffs while working around a spar.

Good job! I have also been using this method on Queen Palms and Pine tree trims. I don't like wounding trees.

Wow, what a cool technique that I somehow have never seen in all these years. Thanks a ton for this video.

Most excellent on a short video with great tips on how to ascend in a tree I really like the tie off in the other tree because I myself have reached around and cut my lanyard trying to show someone what not to do.

Most legit content for sure, love your tips videos. All I need is a knee ascender but I’ve been dabbling in srt with the zig zag

[j.d.williams]

Love your channel and content my friend. Easy to understand for us newbies. Thank you!!

[Guccimanggg]

awesome, thanks so much for this content. across your whole channel that is.

ok, beginner question: how is this different than just general SRT climbing? What's the trick here; it looks like any other form of SRT rope walking set up, but with a lanyard? Is the point that you're flipping the lanyard as you go because you're making so many cuts on the way up? (2 points for cutting).

I’ve got into that method for all my evergreen work it’s so fast. I use the Edelrid Tree-Rex harness with the SRT bridge, it’s a fantastic harness.

Great video... Keep them coming... every wound in the cambium needs to be compartmentalized.. when there are dozens of little areas that need compartmentalization on the main stem, that is going to interfere with trees ability to move water to the branch tips, where it is needed for photosynthesis (food production). NOw I never heard it put quite like that, nor do I have any "science" to back that statement up. As in many scenarios relating to tree work, common sense trumps science. It's obvious when you think about it... what does compartmentalization do?

[Anubisrunner]

Dude I fvckin love this channel!

I super new to the industry so really appreciate all the info you share

[tobygloriakitt]

Brilliant. I look forward to getting a knee ascender soon, I’ve been enjoying SRT a lot!

[dhenschel]

I am not a climber, but you sure make it tempting with this video.

[paulanderson]

You make that look SOOO easy, I've been trying this out and it's pretty tiring and taxing on my muscles, the tree in trying it out on is alot bigger around though.

[denveryarroll]

Going to do this on my next conifer prune! Brilliant, simple... I'm embarrassed I didn't think of it! (I've only been cutting trees since Spring, 2020. Does that buy me some newbie slack?😄)

[EricJemAndes]

Hey man, good tip. I have been doing this for sometime too. Nice vid, keep up the good tips and quality vids.

Hi at the 2:18 mark do you think this would work with a notch jet step foot ascender?Im wondering if the rope would slip out because of the position of the rope?.I understand the jet step has a tang to help keep rope not slip out.But does the tang face a different way depending on what foot it is on?lol im just trying to get some gear together hence the question.Im think either getting the ct or the jet step.Thanks.

Great technique I know some people hate ladders because of the potential of falling but if you secure a tall ladder to get where you went to then you could double line to a strong branch above have your ground he move the ladder and then prune down the tree
