    Thanks for the commentary. I think that is the part that helps me the most. It gives me some insight into what you are seeing and thinking, and why you are making the choices you are.
    Appreciate the great video!

      Glad it was helpful! Sometimes I forget to talk while I'm in the tree, so then I just add in voice-over while I'm editing

    I’m definitely freaking out! 😅 that half hitch being so low - not a big deal with small diameter pieces, but the bigger the piece gets, the more slack you put into the system when it slips off. Just imagine your groundie reaching up to try and control a big chunk you’ve sent down, only for that to be the moment your hitch slips off the piece!

    • @ReallyTallTreeGuy

      I agree completely, however, I typically only use the half hitch when there is no danger of the peace hitting something, as I get closer to the ground. I typically tend to switch to a marl. That I've found a notice. If the half hitch is going to slip off, it's going to be right when the pieces call, not wall. Aggrand guy is maneuvering it to try to get it safely to the ground. But that is a concern.

    I am barely an apprentice noob in climbing and removal so I figure I would ask the pros here: is it not dangerous to have your climb line horizontal in an adjacent tree that is 20 or so feet away because in a fall you would pendulum fall with the highest amount of energy and speed except if your climb line was below you? Or is there something I am missing? At 12:18 - I have always been told never to allow the rigging line to travel against either my lifeline nor my flipline as doing so could cause my fall protection to become damaged due to the heat friction of the rigging rope. Is this not an issue here because the flipline has a steel cable inside the orange outer sheathing?

    • @ReallyTallTreeGuy

      It absolutely is dangerous, if I was severely concerned about the structural integrity of a tree that I was in, while I was tied to something else. I would either set a line in a second adjacent tree so that I wouldn't go on a huge Swing, or I was simply set the line significantly. Hig typically a good rule of thumb is you don't really want your line angle to Be sharper than 45 degrees. The amount of force in speed. You would hit a tree with, and the load. You would exert on your climbing yourself. Would be significant. Had something gone wrong and had I dropped and swung in while Swinging on a 20 foot pendulum.

      I still use the zigzag, but some trees I feel more comfortable with being tied into another tree

  • @hankjordan2602

    You need a couple of small wedges

    • @ReallyTallTreeGuy
      @ReallyTallTreeGuy  Před 4 měsíci +2

      I have a number of them, however, the reason the pieces kept stopping as it started to go over was because I didn't have a very clean face cut, and because I left a Dutchman on it. It cause the face to close as much as it could and then stop.

    Buen trabajo, una pregunta, porque en algunos videos no estas usando guantes, no te lastimas tus manos?
    En otro video te pregunté de que país eres, no me contestaste o eso también es privado. 😞

    What is your secret climbing a tree with a bad lean and keep from going to the underside.

    • @br-dj2ti
      @br-dj2ti Před 4 měsíci

      What you could do is to help you. Buddy is put a Cara beaneracross your flip line. And that will help you from going from side to side if that makes sense. Also, if you slip out, you're right there.

    • @ReallyTallTreeGuy
      @ReallyTallTreeGuy  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Well, in this case. I had a line in another tree, so I was using that to lean against to keep myself in a position on the top side of the tree, hover. One thing that helps when you're going up. The spine of a tree Elise for me is when I spike in. I'll then rotate so I try to touch my toes to the tree. And that'll give me a little bit of left and right control. I don't know If that made any sense, but that's what I try to do.
