1/2 the rope would be 35’. Which means your maximum crotch in height would only be 17.5. Ft. You still need to carry the same amount of rope or at least 60 ‘. You still need both ends on the ground in order to feed the tail end through the eye for your girth hitch. That’s why your better off carrying 75’ so your not limited to small trees
@nicod18865 жыл бұрын
NY Saddle Hunter you can use SRT with a canopy anchor and get away with almost half the rope you’d need if you were going the same height as with DRT. Basically you can get 30 feet in the tree with about 30 feet of rope. You tie an alpine butterfly knot (at ground level) while you’re main climbing rope is just through the crotch. So basically tie the butterfly knot at the very end of your predator line. You then fish that paracord through the alpine butterfly knot. This will girth hitch your predator rope to the desired branch. Once you’re up there and ready to come down, then tie your paracord back onto the alpine butterfly in order to retrieve your predator rope. There should be some good arborist KZbin videos on “canopy anchors”. It’s the ultimate light weight option... rope wise.
@nicod18865 жыл бұрын
NY Saddle Hunter instead of feeding the tail end of the predator rope through the knot or girth hitch, just feed the paracord. Just make sure you’re definitely going up to hunt lol or you’ll have a rope girth hitched 30 ft in the tree without an easy way to retrieve it.

I have in the past use my old climber to reach a height and screws two small bow hangers in the tree at 180 degrees from each other then bent them up a little. I then use paracord for my pre set.

Several people had asked us about footloops we just never used the method. However I thought just like SRT is easier I should demonstrate it for others who find DRT difficult or think its difficult just by looking at it. I think DRT looks harder than it actually is. with a foot loop it looks easier. It is actually easier for me but not drastically easier, however I feel its smoother climb , so I'm actually preferring it to the hip thrusting

@NYSaddleHunter5 жыл бұрын
SRT is physically easier and in some cases might be easier to set your line because you are only managing one end of the rope when it's set. Its draw backs are the cost of ascenders or something like a gri gri , some potential for metal noise . But SRT is the modern version of DRT. DRT is more minimalist and old school. It's like comparing a recurve to a compound. You can easily kill deer with a recurve a compound is just easier but you will pay more for it. Just need to see what you like most and fits into your budget.

I did get up into the tree before sunrise because the crotches are so large on those cottonwoods that they are easy targets, but I made much more noise than necessary and lost some hunt time. The mason line did work other times but it was always a little difficult to pull the climbing line over those large crotches. I think paracord from now onward.
