Default Re: Dynamic vs Static Cable Stytems, in the upper canopy

Whilst I've never braced/cabled a tree, I do know a little bit of theory on it..

With the static, if it is installed near cracked and split unions... The tree will always depend on the static line being there and never grow to support itself.

Where as dynamic cabling further up will make/allow the tree continue to support itself aswell as providing a fall arrest if it doesn't overcome the problem.
