Recreational tree climbers are watching and learning!!
Thanks
Excellent. In climbing, I see so much isolation of techniques inside a discipline and not enough sharing between em. Often, it doesn't actually matter what we're climbing or why: a good practice, knot or technique typically works for all.
I was smiling with you. Climbing somehow brings out the kid in us all.
Thanks for another good video, wish you and your family a good day..🙂💪
What an amazing tree to climb! Thanks for sharing, John!
That smile at the end of the climb😀😀😀!
It's a natural high, pun intended!
Great climb! Excellent demo. I’m really enjoying your JRB Climbing videos . Thank you
Appreciate that JD. This one was really fun. I couldn't wait to get up there but even though I could have climbed it previously, I like doing these unrehearsed videos. And of course, I did make a mistake... had to grab the footloops. Typically i have only one and it's in my saddle bag, but I brought two to show ya and left em with the camera case. Thats Hollywood!
not to be a tree n gear snob, but there’s sooo many better n safer ways to ascend n descend a tree, but we know what we know, l get it. having a mentor or learning from youtube🤓and being up to date with all the modern tree gear is definitely key if a person wants to enjoy climbing trees and feeling safe while up there.
thanx, for the video… love getting ideas from others and implementing them into my style, thanx again.💪🏼
I am curious about how you climb which is safer. Every MRS or SRT climber I have interviewed is dependent on the hold of a friction device. If it fails, they have no backup for it. If it locks up and won't move at all, they are also not prepared for that recovery. Neither of these scenarios are a problem for me. I have redundant moving points of attachment to my saddle.
I might be one of the climbers for therapy, love to climb, like most kids I loved to climb trees as a kid, and still do. That is a magnificent tree,
You mentioned preference of handles, I prefer the non jamming hitch with two over hand knots for the handle, thanks for sharing your passion for climbing. And yes on combining the double rope system with the hitch climbing, just what I did yesterday was tie hitches oriented to the end of my long rope along with the two oriented toward the middle, and I’m contemplating getting a longer rope since I have so many big trees like that sycamore woods as well as carrying along a good size pole and my throw ball. Also ascertaining my need for setting up false crotches sand whether or not to leave them behind as we do with preset cords. Again , thanks brother JRB
Sorry for the delayed response, but thanks for sharing and it sounds like you and I would have some fun with a rope, a tree and a few hours to enjoy em. Cheers
Another great video John. The anticipation of the climb really came though on camera. I was like hurry up and get going will ya! Lol. Very fun to watch video. Keep them coming John but next time at least bring a Go Pro or something so that you can share that wonderful view you had from up top. About how high were you anyway? Thanks for sharing.
I was using 100ft of rope and there was about 10 left, so the crotch was about 45ft. Yes, a wearable camera is on my list. Cheers
Thanks!
This one was truly my pleasure. Cheers.
Nice demo
Thanks!
Thank you Bjorn.
Good climb!
Well, what's the new saddle design? Thought you'd share.
Will definitely publish that Steve. I simply like to have logged enough time on something before doing so, just to minimize the chances of wanting to redo the video. I am trying to do a better job of releasing content that can stand the test of time and so I really need to test and use it alot before doing so.
😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I forget what state you are in. Can you remind me? It looks much warmer than it is here in Wisconsin.
We had a few warm days here in Southeastern PA.
My only worry viewing this, is in the even of a mainline failure, highly unlikely or probable, but minimally possible, is there any backup to that?
Sure, if that's a concern, you would need a 2nd independent rope. You would need to decide if you want it in the same tree crotch or a different one, or possibly an adjacent tree entirely. You could also consider if you wanted to wear an auxiliary harness, perhaps a Rock Climbing harness, to connect independently to the other system. And you would need to climb one system and then remove slack on the other system with every move. For me personally, I feel the risk of a rated, inspected Climbing rope would snap in zero slack climbing is acceptably low. In fact, I am not aware of any such incidents which have occurred. Climbing ropes from reputable suppliers in a DSRT configuration are capable of holding more than 40x the load we are giving them. I buy good ropes and inspect and respect them. It's up to every climber to make this decision for themselves.
@@jrbtc I appreciate your time to reply and you make quite valid points. Thank you.
Pretty cool... I'll definitely use it for recreational.. but can't see the hunting appeal.. I'd be dangling and swinging like a clock.. lol
This was simply a climbing demonstration, of course and a hunting situation, we would secure a platform or simply use what the tree gives us. But make no mistake, I can't find any disadvantages in this method compared to help others climb
@@jrbtc I’m mainly talking about using the foot loop to climb and doing that over and over to height.. me being 6’3” 285.. my center of gravity is higher and I’d be swinging haha..
@@JeremyReger i am not trying to talk you into anything. I learn from others questions and misconceptions. Here's a video of me carrying almost 100lbs and it was mostly on my shoulders... so i was very top heavy. The reason it's possible is because we can lift with both legs and both arms. With a little practice, anyone who can get up a set of stairs can also rope climb. This video was unrehearsed and unedited.
