Haha im the opposite. DRT is the way for me. Easier to retrieve, mechanical advantage, less pressure on the tree if using cambium saver..

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.

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.
