Nice pix, are those slings attached to your belt?
Yes. I had eight of them and also a dual ascender frog system that I used to srt into the tree hanging on the back of my belt. I'm glad I wasn't going swimming!

Hey Dan, that looks like an elephant eared co-dominant union, maybe cabling etc? You mentioned targets.

Also, do you set up Cambium Savers etc for you ropes?
Hickory is very strong wood. Yes the co-dominant union could look better but it's not that bad. The whole tree is over target areas and a cable would be a good idea. I seldom use cambium savers and none were used in this tree on either bull or climbing ropes.

Thanks for the nice comments on the pics and good eyes on the co-dom problem.
