Any one else contract climb?

I would like to talk about my harness setup, it’s a weaver leather 4d wide back I think, I’ll post model tomorrow.. it’s an upgrade from the antique I was using but it’s not like my old floating Dee. It pulls real hard on my hips.. I need help maybe trying to find a way to bridge it.. do you use a spreader snap hook or rope bridge? I haven’t found a comfortable technique for a rope bridge while using a double Blakes..I’m ready to get out of the treee before I’m half way up it. Are those my only two options? I’ve used a couple carabiners on each side then tie in but it’s very clunky

In tree work, dynamic loads are forces that are not constant or static. They are created by movement and are significantly greater than the weight of the object itself. Understanding and managing dynamic loads is crucial for safety during tree removal, pruning, and rigging operations. How Dynamic Loads Are Created Dynamic loads in tree work are typically created when a cut limb or section of trunk is allowed to free-fall for any distance before being caught by a rigging system. * Shock Loading: This is the most common cause of a dynamic load. When a piece of wood falls a certain distance before the rope goes taut, it generates an impact or "shock" load on the system. The force of this impact can be many times the weight of the piece itself. * Swinging/Pendulum Effect: When a load swings back and forth after being caught, it creates dynamic forces on the anchor point and the rigging line. The swinging motion can multiply the forces acting on the system. * Wind and Movement: Even a standing tree is subject to dynamic loads from wind, which causes it to sway and bend. Arborists must consider these inherent forces when evaluating a tree's structural integrity. Estimating and Calculating Dynamic Loads While precise calculation is complex, a simple rule of thumb and a basic formula can help arborists understand the forces at play. * Dynamic Load Formula: A simplified formula for a "negative" or free-falling load is: F = W \times \frac{H}{D} Where: * F = Peak dynamic force * W = Weight of the log/branch * H = Distance the load falls before the rope catches it * D = Distance the rope stretches or the system decelerates the load * The "H Factor": The most critical takeaway from this formula is the importance of the fall distance (H). A piece of wood weighing 100 lbs that free-falls for 5 ft can generate the same force as a much heavier piece that only falls for 1 ft. This is why arborists try to limit free-fall distance as much as possible. Managing Dynamic Loads with Equipment
