I don't like the idea of rock climbing but I love the idea of tree climbing. I know absolutely nothing so this content is awesome. I'm looking forward to some climbing. I'm going to start with a home chin up and calisthenics for strength as I acquire my gear. Thanks for the great content.
Not enough people know that Slikys are only used with a pull stroke even on big limbs. For fine cuts on Sugoi use the part closer to the handle where there are finer teeth.
Also do you have to trim a palm tree queen palms to be exact like in order to put your hitch climber set up (Mrs) around the top of the palm tree to descend or do you need a friction saver to descend from the queen palms?
Do you prefer the Hitch Climber on your lanyard over the pinto? And if so, can you explain why please, since it's nice to have the becket. I'm not a pro so I'd love to hear your reason.
Definitely prefer the Hitch Climber over the becket. In my previous setup with a Pinto, I encountered increased tension when tending the Pinto - maybe because both sewn eyes of the prussic are placed between the cheeks of the Pinto. The Hitch Climber, I like much more. Each sewn eye of the prussic spaced on the outside of the Hitch Climber cheeks and I prefer the attachments on the top - cleaner setup for a mini moving rope system.
Great video Abdon! While isolating, I do often find myself flaking throw line on the ground to access the bottom end of the throw line, and it’s tangle-ville in many terrains. Sometimes I consider carrying an empty third cube to flake into and avoid tangles….is that weird?
What diameter rope is typically used? I been messing around on a 1/4" double braided for myself and a 5/8" polypropylene for limb control, it has a core, idk how many strands, but my neighbor who's into rock climbing has a 3/8" or maybe even 1/2" for climbing. What's normal? Is 1/4" too thin? Does anyone else use 1/4"?
I work for Bartlett in 1965. We had manila rope And made a bowline on the bite where are saddle Hauser really happy world nylon saddles Came out. That’s good work did it my whole life and I loved. I’m 86 now and I just ride my motorcycle. Pull my camper. Be safe.
@@BartlettArboristSupply Merci de ta réponse 🙏🔥 Peut on mettre la paire de lunette blanche et la paire de lunette de soleil en même temps ou seulement une seule paire de lunette sur le casque? J'essaye de prendre le plus d'informations sur ce casque pour en acheter un car j'hésite entre lui et le KASK, pour le moment j'ai un casque basique... Grâce à toi je me suis fais une très bonne idée du casque, j'aimerai bien l'avoir, merci beaucoup🙏🔥👌🏾
Only one set of Protos safety glasses can integrate with the helmet, either the clear or shaded. Kask is also a very good helmet, carrying a Type II protection, however the with the Protos helmet - earmuff, visor, protective eyewear integration is much cleaner.
#2 is the most commonly seen, but I was hoping you showed #1, which is imho the easiest. #3 looks very useful...I have not seen that demonstrated before. Thx
Aww, thanks for taking the time to comment as it seems to have caught your attention! Guess having fun at work is not for everyone. Hope your day gets better 🩹...
what an absolute beast.. i climbed for the first time using the hip thrust method with a 2:1 advantage using a pulley.. this guy just blows it out of the water
I just got your notch Glide rope grab and was messing with it, and I don't want to ruin my new section of HI Vee 16 strand. Is there a preferred strand rope for mechanicals so they don't Fray up your lanyard?
You should be able to use a wide array of cordage ranging from 16- to 48-strand. One of the main contributing factors to rope fraying - abrasive tree bark. Construction of fibers, increased amounts of friction, and contact with sharp objects would be other factors. Other than that, we haven't heard of rope grabs solely being responsible for fraying cordage. We will have to do a little bit more research to come up with a better worded answer. Apologies for not giving a super definitive answer.
@@BartlettArboristSupply Well that is really good to know, I think I will get your Tri tech lanyard and pair it with that. Thanks for the reassurance on the variety.
I've always used the over index finger method. Accuracy and launch height is unbeatable. 1 extra tip from what i saw here, is to pull a slight tension in the string between both hands, then if you perfectly time the release of the string in your holding hand just as the weight is nearing the end of the slack in the string after releasing with your throwing hand. You can create a double whip between the weight and string that nearly doubles the height of your throw while maintaining accuracy.
I use a different tie. I use a clove hitch but add a bite in the second loop of my clove. For me, it's quicker to tie and pull's out by pulling the tail of your string, just like your figure 8.
