thank you, liked and subscribed

At my local shop they have this saddle only its camp gt ...has soft loop instead of D ring up front and red suspenders or fall arrest..very strange .has different front webbings near groing area..

thank you for sharing this information on ropes. you are awesome brother👌

Hello. I'm wondering if sometimes the splicing process can leave a stiff and slightly thicker diameter area of rope about 2 feet from the eye?. I have a brand new spliced eye marlow gecko 2 blue ocean 13mm rope and the "stiff" area is probably more like 14mm diameter and is about 25cm long. Very odd and can't find any information about it. Anyone have any idea?

ha ha i'm with stanwood - just finishhed an ac course and need to tend 5 hugh live oaks. est. bid cost 12000 -fck that - buying equipment and learning alot ( ps 65yrs old - ) like your video , nice job!

Thanks Jeffrey

"Speed...I am speed."

Just what I needed. Thanks!

Excellent video.

Would this device work well for working on a spar, or so so? Also, would it work on 11.7 mm ropes? The description online I have seen says 10 mm to 11 mm.

I see you have a Makita top handle battery saw. Is that 18v X 2? Would you recommend it?

Amazing video bro , thanks

I really like the look of the device I’m thinking of moving over to one from the rope wrench.

WOW. I feel like I'm in the stone age at my line clearance tree company. Thank you for posting this stuff.

Is there a safety hazard if the plastic element wears off or something?

OUTSTANDING!

Yeah, it's the best system I have found.

2 years late, any chance you could expound on water based poly dipping splices? Are there parameters, downsides, concerns? Thank!

Hello 👋 .. interesting video .. I like your honesty .. am in the process of buying a new harness .. I'm 5'8" .. 175 pounds .. 31 waist .. my current saddle is a (mgn date 1998) .. Weaver model 1036 .. Although it was used by me allot .. I've always taken care of it .. but it is +25 years old .. Am looking at the lighter version of this one .. the EVO .. I work in double rope not SRT .. what do U recommend 🤔🤨🧐👌

WOW, what and informative video. I was just planning to buy a bunch of climbing gear to keep all dead limbs and live unwanted limbs removed from many post oak, mulberry and black jack oak trees on my property that are not dead and not being removed. What a mistake buying spikes would have been. Thanks for saving me money and my tree thank you. Thank you for the video.

Why choose this over a rope wrench?

Definitely like being able to quickly remove and replace the line when base tied and repositioning.

There's two forms of MBS 8 to 8 and in a loop! 8 to 8 is always 1/2 and in a loop is full MBS.

Great Content 👍 for beginner MRT climbing. This is how I learned b4 moving into SRT but love it's simplicity

Great video!!

I was going to complement your video for how quiet the background sounds are and how this makes it so easy to fully concentrate on the content... then you inject that crap music and kill the whole mood...kids, they only half know what they're doing!

Very nice that you didn't make jump cut edits in the video which often result in missing small but important (at least for the beginner) tips and fixes or additional less obvious safety principles...essentially an unedited continuous climb; movement of anchor point; descent; retrieval. The tube style cambium safer seems so much easier to set than the ring style and a better choice for a beginner. Thanks.

Just learning this at 64. This video provides exactly what I needed most without a half hour of commentary on every single point. VERY well done! Thank you so much!

Enjoyed the video. Nice camera positioning. I'm a Petzl ZigZag guy. So many advantages with the ZigZag. I do use a RRP if I may have to reposition in the tree - which is rare (Too old for intricate limb walking). Thanks for posting.

Best tutorial I've seen! Thanks!

I attach the axis point of the handle end to my chest harness. This makes the device more grabby with smaller diameter ropes. it generally make sit more grabby, I use it for solo rock climbing as well as tree work and rope access. I'm a huge fan of it. For lead solo, you need to add a pulley to the top of your system to make paying out slack sensible. I learn a lot from your videos, thank you for your time.

I've only used the petzel rig, it's always lovely to learn new devices thank you for the great content as always!

Thanks for the info, very helpful .

Why dont or cant a person use kernmantle rope for natural crotch clombing or rigging?😮???? If core is protected isnt that better than 16 strand

They most likely left that tree for landmark..doesent look hard to fell..atcall......

I have this clip in my old harness and I can't remove the bloody thing lol

After almost three decades of climbing the Edelrid Tree Rex harness with their suspenders that have a bungee cord attached at the bottom for a knee ascender is the best and most comfortable saddle ever made. It’s fairly lightweight while still being very durable. It has everything you need to start doing production climbing out of the box. Their talon climbers are also the most comfortable than anything else by a mile! I love Monkeybeaver saddles, tree motion saddles and Courant’s Koala saddle, but the Edelrid gear is just so good and so well designed it’s just impossible to beat in my experience at least. Great video as usual!

Re-threaded Alpine Butterfly - Craig Bachman called it the anabolic Alpine Butterfly - really slick arb tip 👍

Every time I get to the end of one your videos, all I want to do is throw my harness on and get up there. When you climb trees, you know 👍

Really cool to see you doing this video with your son on you. As a father, I love seeing people bringing their family into their work and things that they love doing. Also, thanks for the nice video on SRS anchors.

Excellent colour combination on hardware, i run the same one

Congratulations..at first i thought you were jokeing.thats real baby..woe...

Thats actually a bowline WITH A BITE..kevin Bingham uses this .he did seminar on tree stuff..and his favorite re direct was on a clove hitch ..he calked it the joey tree redirect

Cool, I look forward to trying this rethreaded alpine. I’m also going to try out the petzel adjust soon. Congrats on the little tree climber.

Fantastic content! Thank you, this is revolutionary information, I love the bowline on a bite base anchor, cant wait to try it, my ropes will thank you too.

Good advises!

I love it when you look down while up in the tree so I can feel all the fear safely from my laptop. Carpenter here, thought I was afraid of heights. Turns out I'm just afraid of walking on 3.5 inch boards with no safety. I worked hanging off a ten story high rise this past year with a harness and climbing chains. Now I'm looking to climb trees. I love that feeling of looking down if I know I can't fall. If I'm unsupported though, I literally lose my mind. Comedy.

Awesome video. I learned a lot from that.

Grandissimo 👏👏👏 grazie

Great vid, made one of these a while back but I did a double eye splice with ocean poly on the small ring, it was a pain to bury!! This looks lots easier haha. Unrelated, Have you ever done a courant canopa splice? Just picked some up and realized it is not a traditional 16 strand construction
