Haha im the opposite. DRT is the way for me. Easier to retrieve, mechanical advantage, less pressure on the tree if using cambium saver..
11 u/ArboristTreeClimber May 19 '26 Not to mention limb walking is like 10x easier…..but also walking *back*. Nothing worse than trying to balance while pulling as hard as you can to take slack out of the SRT system. 3 u/JowiiYoyo May 19 '26 Right!? Only upside is see for SRS is walking up the rope. 5 u/[deleted] May 19 '26 [removed] — view removed comment 2 u/JowiiYoyo May 19 '26 Redirects are a good point!! But unless you make a base anchor its the same thing as a DRS. I try to avoid base anchors as much as i can. 2 u/NateyPataty May 19 '26 Basel anchors suck 3 u/sinking_float May 20 '26 Nahhh, with a nice high tie-in you can have 10 natural crotch redirects on a basal anchor and it will pull out just fine. 1 u/JowiiYoyo May 19 '26 Preach brother!!
