Two questions here, why can't we use en carabiner instead of a ring? And second, why not use the throw line as the retrieve line (so you can't miss which rope to climb on)? Really cool video by the way.
That open loop in the anabolic alpine would not capture the carabiner enough to prevent sideloading - especially when the rope was unweighted. but you could totally use a throwline to recover your climb line. He was just using the tail end of his climb line as an example of using what is on hand.
It's a shame the audio has so many problems. This is the reason for the option in Zoom/WebEx/etc for the speaker to record the session locally to avoid any kind of distortion and internet-related artifacts. It was a great talk, that aside.
Closed Captions can't translate it to spanish for you? Click the video settings, go to Captions and there should be "auto-translate". Set it for Spanish
Elimination or even severe reduction of any one species in an eco system would likely cause long term changes in that system. Possibly even irreversible. Just my guess. TCIA_Tchukki
Nice demo, not my favorite anchor & I sure wouldn’t call that simple or basic. Great explanation of what you have to consider in setting up a basal anchor.
Great presentation. Always helpful to see and hear about fungi common to the trees we work with regularly. I picked up a current copy of Wood Decay Fungi last fall at a local urban and community forestry conference. It's an outstanding reference.
What about tying the throwline to the bowline while using it as the choking canopy anchor? It'll leave you the entire length of your rope to work with an you can retrieve with the tied throwline to pull down the choked bowline knot when finished.
Is there any training offered LIVE in person, whether it be one on one or with a group? I'm in NYS. I'd like to learn more about using my chainsaw properly and safely.
Great. Thank you for this. How do you secure a free moving concussion casualty (say casualty is a climber who's fallen out of tree and no longer tied in, at risk of wandering off)? I still wonder how would such a situation is best dealt with.
i've accidentally put a good cut into two wire core lanyards. one i was unaware until i was on the ground. no doubt i would have taken a ride without the wire core.
Sounds like the live crowd is ,full of pride, lazy and don't care to learn or change ,growth..this guys given his time and efforts to help and they didn't engage .just be disrespectful to him..great show man.bunch bums unfortunately in audience
