Openly admitting being an "amateur" + free gear = good idea or irresponsible?

He did not mention it could be a problem letting the piece cut run to clear the climber and not shake the hell out of the tree! Too many wraps and the climber is in trouble!

So if they only wrapped it say twice.. there would be less friction the top would have fell further and not transferred as much force to the trunk? I’m looking a buying a porta wrap soon now.

Depends test it first sometimes 2 wraps can jam with a thicker rope.
