So much of a hassle. In and of itself? or compared to backing up an SRT line? That sentence gives the impresssion that no backup is needed for SRT when quite the opposite is true.
Asking George for clarification is so far proving futile. Why will you not answer questions asked of you George? We're trying to get to the nitty gritty of all this, yet you ignore critical questions. Why is this?
George is preaching SRT. No problem. I like it, understand it and use it. All other aerial disciplines use SRT, no argument.
But they're not accessing trees. In our world, one single rope goes up, over, and back down. Now we have two parallel lines, both ends on the ground. What to do with it then? We have options, three to be exact, and any number of ways to go about those three methods.
So, lock into one of the methods, or learn and know all three?
That's a personal choice, but if you're looking to find faster, safer and more efficient it can be helpful to stay open minded and not make remarks about the absoluteness of anything unless it revolves around certain universal laws of physics, constants that do not change. Like gravity and friction. Predictable, never changing.
