How can i make a false crotch?

[JimHarrisSC]

I'm fairly new to climbing. I have taken 3 medium sized pine trees down and my yard by climbing them and taking them down and sections. I am using a flip line and also tying off to the tree with my fraction saver. My question is, what can I use to create a false crotch around the trunk of the tree to tie off my climbing line to while I am cutting sections of trunk?

As you can see, you would get a better results in 101, I know I won't answer until you move it.

Two steel rings(of difference sizes if you want to be able to remote set/retrieve some day), length of half inch climbing rope, and a length of accessory cord for a prussic loop.

Isn,t that called a sex change?

I misread it. If you're just spiking down the spar and chunking sections you dont need a false crotch. I just use my split tail climbing line as a lanyard along with a flip line.

Another trick for better stability on narrow spars is to wrap your flipline all the way around the trunk so it cinches it. You could also cross it in front of you.

Here's a picture of some knucklehead I know doing it.

Choke around the tree and use a descender.
