NEW TO OUR CHANNEL? Watch this first: • How-to Saddle Hunt wit...
This is a very minimalist method for mobile saddle hunters. We are showing you exactly how we climb into large trees with minimal equipment, cost and effort.
This method may not be for everyone, but think of it as another tool in your arsenal. Please watch until the end as there's a lot of information on DRT climbing technique that we believe is one of the safest, quietest, least expensive ways to climb a tree for saddle hunting. I hope you all benefit from our technique. Please like and share with others.
Please remember that climbing of any kind is inherently dangerous. The DRT climbing method has been a standard in the arbor industry for 100 years. But remember It's only safe if you do it right. Ensure your knots are tied correctly and make sure you set every knot before you get off the ground. This is our method that we use in saddle hunting, but only do what makes you comfortable and do this at your own risk.
Feel free to comment down below with your questions, We'd love to help in any way we can.
Pretty cool thanks.
Joe was running that new static line with no split-tail. That way on the carabiner attached to his bridge he had his factory sewn mini loop next to the 2 eye to eye hitchcord that he attached with a Swabish. I'm going to use my split-tail since my Fusion carabiner is perfect to attach my tiny Beeline eye & my Predator loop to. I will also try a double eye hitchcord using a Michoacon.
I watched your other video where Joe used it. I think he had a split-tail on that demo. I have a DRT using a DMM HITCHCLIMBER ECCENTRIC. But when hunting I prefer the Split-tail & I'm looking to convert to my Pinto Pulley as a tending device. I'm tired of making a termination knot on the end of my split-tail & then tieing the tail end of it to a prusik for self tending. Just not as clean as using an extra carabiner which I can always use some of my stealth strip material that I have a ton of. Thanks for the great tips Scott 👍.
Your welcome Joe ! Thankyou for all the commentary all these yrs .
@@NYSaddleHunter Sir quick question. I see nice arborist saddles for prices about the same as hunting harness. I see the hunting saddles are quiter.... but the arborist saddle can be converted. Are the arborist saddles as comfortable?
like butter .. 👍
I had one. It's great as a pulley mode, but when it's on lock pulley mode andt under load its a pain to release the lever.
All the micros are like that. I actually prefer it to be on my lines man’s rope than my tether for that reason. There more dependable taking up slack and releasing it on a linesman
Where can I find Solitude 2.0 saddles?
Only way is if someone sells one used
Could you use the roll n lock in place of the Blake’s hitch without tearing your rope all up
No . It’s not intended for use as a hitch in a moving rope system. Only in tending mode .
For a single line as a tether for a rope grab. Yes ! I would not recommend using it in place of a Gri Gri either . Even though it has the highest load rating in the micro class. It should still be used in conjunction with a backup hitch cord when used in a life support situation !!!
@@NYSaddleHunter I see videos on climbing channels where they use the ropeman this way. And I have been using the ropeman this way. I use a rolling Clive hitch as my backup and use the ropeman in place of a prusic or hitch cord.
@@terrycalvert7812 I see it as well. I just don’t advise people to do it. We just posted a article written on this very subject and how the climbing industry doesn’t support the idea of using micro’s as life support devices
If you back it up with a additional rope hitch it’s a safer choice.
Also these micro will destroy your rope over time.
A true ascender and descender devise uses a smooth cam to Jam the rope , not a toothed cam

It appears that you are just using the pulley function and that you are not using the rope-grab function of the device. I can see how you could also use the device as a rope grab in place of your Blake's hitch to climb your rope, but you'd have to switch to some other device to descend.
Well aware of that, I was just pointing out the other feature of this device is that it is an awesome hitch tender, as far as a rope grab feature goes.. its preferred method is to be used on your tree tether as a positioning device. It should not be used in place of a blakes hitch or other ascending or descending hitches. A Petzel Gri Gri + or the Mad Rock Safe Guard is a better choice for ascending and descending- they have a much higher rating than the CT Roll N Lock for life support.
I'm not sure what role "rollnlock" plays in this video.
It works as a hitch tender
which kind of prusik is that one?
Just some 5 mm paracord
@@NYSaddleHunter i mean The name of that specific knot
Hey I just installed a Rollnlock as a bridge adjuster, I'm having a little trouble with it. Check out 1:30 of my last video czcams.com/video/4--VHDo4WVI/video.html
