I haven't seen this before. Anybody try something like it?

It looks promising for rapid ascent, particularly if you spend a lot of time SRT'ing up a lot of trees. I don't see too much advantage to toting all that hardware around while working the tree. Maybe ideal for inspections?

Safety issues: it looks like he is relying entirely on two ascenders, one of which might screw up out of reach. I would be a little concerned about that.
