Does the big tree make the anchor stronger?

This is one of two anchors. You really don't need the tiny cams, the large tree will do.

An anchor that takes the system over 90 degrees actually weakens the system.

Video victims.

Piles of extra rope, but they use runners and carabiners, adding 4 unnecessary links to the chain. Oh, and don't strangle the tiny tree.

Sure, take the dead trunk

They locked the Carderock latrine after the first weekend.

Single 9/16 sling for an anchor. They wanted to run the rope over the car mats, they missed.

There is a nice live trunk but they went with the dead one.

Macrame?

Words fail.

The massive tree is OK, really, you don't need the tiny cams.

The tiny trees.

The loose ties got away from the tree that washed in, levitated up the bank, and attached themselves to the big tree.

Use the 3 inch tree and run the knot 3 feet up from the base.

All the rope you need...

The guys at the gym told him to use a runner, carabiner and clove hitch, despite having a pile of extra rope. That introduces 2 points of failure and an unstable knot.

If a tree falls in the forest, does the guy tied to it hear it?

Not only is it clearly dead, NPS has added the red tag.
