Friction Saver Installation from the Ground with WesSpur's Niceguydave
Every Moving Rope System (MRS) for tree climbing needs a friction saving device at the suspension point. How do you install one from the ground? Niceguydave demonstrates two methods for positioning your friction and installing your climbing line. All you need is an arborist throw line, throw weight, your friction saver of choice - and patience while you practice throwing!
The ring and ring style friction saver is the most popular way to protect the climber's rope in a MRS system. Less friction means less wear on your rope, and less effort used in climbing. It also protects the tree from being damaged by a rope running directly over the bark. Climbing in MRS without a friction saver is a quick way to ruin both your rope and the tree!
Friction savers are available in various sizes for different sized limbs, or you can get an adjustable saver and to cover everything up to it's full length.
