Advancing a Tree Using A SRS Base Anchor, SRS Tree Climbing 

I rarely ever use a base anchor. Especially when I know I will have to relocate my tie-in point. I use canopy anchors with retrieval cord attached (8mm) or leave long tail for short retrieve. To advance I attach a throw bag to end of line and throw up to next tie-in point (sometimes just a carabineer facilitates throwing line up).

Noah is getting real good at aiding your teaching tips and techniques.

Thank you so much Bino ! You’re the best!

Thanks for this informative video Bino! I always get a kick out of when the elusive Noah is spotted in the tree waiting for your ascent...

Hy bino you are a great ticher am what bi i. Your class. Am no speaq ingles but am underted a liter bit. I whas lived in California for cuple year but never lern ingles very well. I build some tools whit your help end whit you chanel tks for all the i fofmation congratulaciones. No se si lo qe escribi esta vien pero qeria practicar escribiendo un poco de ingles se qe bo es correto pero quiero desirte saludos desde michoacan mexico

Was dealing with this yesterday! Couldn’t get my throw bag on the ideal anchor so went for a lower one. But the next anchor up was on an overhanging trunk.

That application with my GriGri is gonna work very good cause I can easily detach from lifeline, I just won't be able to use the foot ascender, instead I'll use the hand ascender with foot loop, thanks Bino! Been learning a lot from your channel

C. Bino gracias .saludos👍

Another good video, Bino. Now I remember why I'm willing to spend inordinate amounts of time getting the best TIP from the ground when possible. LOL I also always carry a second prussik cord, in case I drop the one I'm climbing with. Keep up the good work!

I really like your videos Bino :)

Awesome job, as usual! Good advice, and techniques! Do you like the rope runner pro more than you rope winch? Stay safe and God bless.

Great video......question and hop you make or have a video of recommend chainsaw for arborist. I was working with 290..but piston when out ..so I when and buy a new saw but since the guys a store have no knowledge about it...I ask to get me semi pro ..chainsaw..they get me a 391..I works good but still have my doubts. If I should change it and get me a bigger one...am just starting on my own..and you have help me alot..I'd you could tell me how big of saws will recommend. Or how big of bar I can put on 391

I wondered why some guys switch to Ddrt when they want to climb higher than the first tie in when using SRT with a base anchor. As you nicely demonstrated, pulling all that rope, disconnecting and retying the SRT every time is less efficient than just throwing the end over the next branch as one does with Ddrt. I've seen some guys throw the rope wrench over the branch as a unit but that can't be good for the mechanism, and I'd worry about snagging or losing or damaging it. If you have a buddy at the base, he can untie the base anchor to give you full Ddrt control. Only thing is, you lose the easy rope ascending power of SRT when you do that.

Hi Bino, why would you choose a canopy anchor over a basal one? Can you make it retrievable?

Bino i wanted to ask what is a good rope that ypu can use for both srt and drt?

@Bino H how would this differ using a canopy anchor? Thank you

Thanks. What age did you get into tree climbing. Im 33 and just got very interested in it mostly because im going to take a couple trees down on our property.

Bino, I am overweight and I am starting tree climbing as a hobby. I suppose you have few extra pounds as well. My question is how much extra weight makes your tree climbing more difficult? Should I start even with extra weight or should I wait till I lose extra weight (currently I am 260 lb at 5’10”, and my plan is to go back to 200, what used to be my weight for years)

Manda un saludo para michoacan hablando en espanol. Tu saves hablar algo en espanol?

this is the most assnine and complicated thing l’ve ever seen done in a tree and l’ve been in the industry and around hundreds of climbers for over 27 years. tiny trees like that, a person should just climb MRS to the top and either set up a friction saver and stay MRS or switch over to SRT/SRS and work the tree that way… this is probably the most complicated and time consuming way to get to the top of a tree that l’ve ever seen.🤦🏼‍♂️🙄
