Good morning Bino. Blair here. As you probably know, I don’t focus videos on knots, gear or climbing technique. My focus is on the trees and understanding why you prune. Also helping to identify hazards. When people ask me questions that you focus on, I direct them to you.
Hi Bino, I wanted to say Thanks. I did my first climb on a tree on a rope today. Got to use the ISC UltraLink (revised one), making sure I was not side-loading it. Everything went well :) Many thanks, your videos helped. Cheers
Thanks for all your videos. Could you do a video recommending carabiners by size and shape. Also could you recommend rope thickness for beginner Mrs systems. In a split tail is it better to have a slightly smaller diameter rope for the split tail. What type friction cords do you recommend and should they be no thicker than 75 percent of rope size. How long is optimal. Which friction hitch is best? I see you like Michoacán, but it wasn’t a choice for the test. I don’t expect a direct answer to all of this, but maybe you could incorporate some answers in future videos. Thanks again!
Awesome video as usual Bino! Did you consider with a basal anchor ⚓️ you're doubling the weight over the branch your hanging from bc its being pulled down on both sides of the rope, your weight is on both the terminal side anchored to you and its on the standing side anchored to the tree 🌳.
Thanks Bino. Great video. What's your thoughts on using a figure 8 follow through instead? I can do them blindfolded and it's almost impossible to muck up.
No I have thought about using a figure eight follow through for a base anchor. If I'm not using hardware I would rather use this Running Yosemite Bowline.
@@BinoH Thanks Bino. I've always not wanted to trust the bowline with my life. I shall practice the bowline with the Yosemite finish and the double fishermans for the tail.
Base Anchor, Canopy Anchor and Spar Anchor are not rigging situations there will be no dynamic loading and it is your body weight. Rope on Rope in this situation is not dangerous.
@@HannahConley-q7v it's simple: a rope can be cut by another rope if one moves and the other is still. Bino creates a loop with any knot and the rope that "normally" moves up and down in a carabiner/ring/metalthingweusetoavoidropeonrope now moves into the loop in the exact same spot for all the ascent. That's why I specified that we use it too but on short ascents where the friction is limited in time.
