I am new to climbing trees. Just kind of doing it as a hobby. I have alot of trees around my house (some removals and some pruning) and also on my hunting land. I bought a Stihl 193t and just took down an elm.
I have been using the dual rope with a simple prusik for my climb line along with two lanyards - 15' and 20'. I was thinking about getting a hitch climber because it is kind of a pain to tend the slack. I tried adding a micro pulley but it doesnt seem to work smoothly.
Of course with the hitch climber I would have to get a spliced rope. What do you guys use? Dont want to get overly complicated. Before I buy a hitch climber and new climb line wanted to see what other options are out there.
