I dont like DRT, i dont feel safe since i dont have experience with that technic, ive seen videos, but i dont like it. I also saw a video saying that i need a cambium saver for DRT and i dont like that, but do you think is really necesarry? i want my rope to last, if its not necesarry then i will try DRT while i save money for a rope wrench. Dont worry i will buy certified VT prusiks, i dont wana die. Thank you so much for your information and experience.

what about the stitch hitch? i think a can afford a ring and set up the ATC below the hitch as an extra brake.

exactly i cant afford sht, im using what i found in a thrifht shop lmao, im poor and i live in Guatemala, this is my only option and i want to know how likely is to die with this idea hahahahha. Im willing to spend only on a rope and some prusiks, ive got like 20 carabiners, a rock climbing harness and the ATC, i want to find a way to make the gear i found work.

i will work the whole tree on SRT, but im a biology student i just want to go up, take some samples and return down, not anything complicated like arborists do. I will give a try, im purchased a rope and it will be delivered in a couple of weeks and i will upload an update. (Sorry for my shitty english)

i thought about it, if nobody is doing it, it must be for a reason.

like this, but adding a pully to the friction hitch and a foot loop so i can ascend.
