@@alexworks9659 It’s such a sweet setup, & such a simple practical system. Literally no gear. With no gear, and only bends rather than knots in the rope, it also keeps the WLL of the rope much higher
Hey Alex, thanks for the great, simple to understand cinching ideas! In the beginning, when you say you're bucked in, do you mean you've also wrapped the tree with a flip line with gaffs on? Is this cinching line in addition to your flip line? TIA
The issue with cross loading the carabiner isn't so much that the gate could open but more about it breaking. The argument being that It's only rated 3kn when cross loaded which according to one of your videos is roughly 675 LBS which is still pretty strong as long as you don't free fall a few feet. I would confidently do that with a steel biner.
Thanks for the video. Do you still have the bike. Did you feel the need to change the suspension later? front and back ? Any touring mods you recommend?
Great idea! I like the placement of the lanyard in the low stress zone, and also how it enables a reset. I’m starting an arborist job in June, and appreciate the tips you share on your channel.
Man, thanks for the video. I think that the dual gage is great and the bar end mirrors both things look very cool on the bike. Can’t say the same about the top case, not only the one you have, but all top cases for me, are a aesthetic killer of this type of bike. I see the practicality of it, but for me that wouldn’t be an option. I don’t fancy backpack’s but for this kind of bike I would make an exception. This bike is too cool to get along with such a piece of hardware. That is, of course my humble opinion and obviously, I respect that you think differently. The only BMW bike’s that I think the hard panniers and top case don’t affect negatively the concept and the general looks is the big GS. Other than that, it seems always strange to me. Be well and ride safe✌️✌️
I would love to give you the opportunity to understand about a mechanical device that I have invented that is by far the strongest on the market #zrunner is the mechanical device that is midline attachable made out of stainless steel and it has all of the configurations needed for SRT and DRT climbing scenarios.
Awesome info and friction cord with a ring is really good on spar chunking and with the long tail easy to get down on you! Thanks and cheers from a climber in cold and snowy Finland!👍
Instead of a thimble prusick, use a monkey tail. One leg of prusick cord with a ring on one end. Then you can tie your hitch on the rope instead of having to thread it through the six coils.
You can keep the thimble or ring on your climb line and just slack out what you need then hard lock it with a fisherman carabiner combo through the ring.
RU-vid says you made this video a year ago, are you still using the 6 wrap thimble? seems like a solid idea to me and I don't see why it would be prohibited, but what do I know. im curious what you've found out since you made this video, thank you!
If you are going to use a bowline for life support you HAVE TO BACK IT UP either by a Yosemite or stopper knot. If you gonna teach...teach the right way.
If it's not under constant amount of tension it most definitely can come undone. Especially if tail is insufficient and/OR "non-finished"!! People could replicate what you've shown them and hurt themselves or others, ya know?
@@jd_6042 He's not "teaching" anything. It's clear he's asking opinions about different ideas. If you have an opinion, then give one so the uneducated will know what's ok, and what isn't/
"Cinching spar anchors for SRT tree work." Obviously the only people watching this are arborists. A bowline as a highpoint is fine. A highpoint is static, it's not moving around. Just feed extra tail into the bowline and it's bomber.
I like the video..liked the Angle from Camera excellent views.. Alex how long have you been climbing..? & How many times that Bowline malfunction with your Technique.??
The method you described with the sideloaded carabiner should be avoided - the issue doesn't have to do with the gate being "bombproof", it has to do with the fact that you're using the carabiner in a manner in which it was not designed to be used and are compromising the integrity of the device as a whole. Just because you've (thankfully) never seen one fail doesn't mean they haven't failed, and there could very well be beginners watching this channel and think what you're suggesting is ok. It's not, and people shouldn't be using carabiners this way, and if they are, at a minimum don't promote their use in an unsafe manner. Probably the best method would be using the Notch Quickie with the alpine butterfly - it's midline attachable, it can be advanced up the tree, and it can be retrieved from the ground. It hits all the major requirements and keeps everyone safe.
@@alexworks9659 It's not about fun - heck, the Quickie is definitely more of a hassle than a carabiner. If you're curious about sideloaded carabiners, check out the HowNOT2 channel as they break a bunch of carabiners in all sorts of sideloaded configurations, and it's pretty scary just how easily a sideloaded carabiner will break. Add to the fact that we're on static lines and it's even more of an issue (compared to taking a fall on a dynamic climbing rope). In your video you happened to place the carabiner on a perfectly smooth part of the tree - if someone were to follow your advice and set their TIP higher and out of sight (in a seemingly good location) and the carabiner happened to shift to a compromised position (i.e. over a stump) and they take a fall and it breaks, are you still going to say it was a better solution just because the Quickie didn't exist yet? There are better solutions than a carabiner, and the dangers of sideloading carabiners predates the Quickie. By all means use a carabiner if you want to (plenty of people do), but I don't think it's beneficial to the climbing community, especially beginners that are watching these videos, to be promoting that type of configuration, especially if you're not telling people just how dangerous it is to do so.
@@mikesoultanian8050 I do believe I said it was frowned upon. Again, Spar anchor as in blocking down a spar. NOT as TIP for working a prune or such. It’s literary right in front of you. In cases you missed that part. Cheers.
@@alexworks9659 You literally said "SRT canopy anchor" within the first sentence of your video, so someone assuming this can be used as a TIP would not be unreasonable. Further, just because it's on a spar doesn't make it any more right. If you take a fall and the carabiner shifts to a not-so-perfect part of the spar, you could again crossload the carabiner. I could understand if you were doing a video highlighting the wrong way to do something, but that's not what you did - you said it's frowned upon in some circles and then spent a good while telling people it wasn't a big deal and that your gate was bombproof, and it's not even the gate that's cause for concern. It's one thing if it was just me saying something, but there are four other people that have echoed the same concerns. We're just trying to help everyone stay safe in the canopy, so hopefully people will read the comments so they understand that these techniques are truly frowned upon, and for good reason.
