Full disclosure, The Notch Fusion Tether I have been using was given to me by TreeStuff for use and reviewing, but these are my honest thoughts. Check them out, they are located on the west coast for quicker shipping, and have a great selection of Tree work specific gear. www.treestuff.com/notch-fusio...

I bought my rope runner pro off your suggestion. I love it. Not ready to explore alternatives. Thank you for the detailed demonstration.

@Stridertrees 3 года назад

Glad to hear it man :) how’s it been treating you?

@Stridertrees 3 года назад

What rope are you running with it ?

@BDogg2023 10 месяцев назад

For anyone watching in 2023 and beyond, prices on these have come way down. Amazon has the all metal Fusion Wrench Tether combo shown here for $160 total, not $280. Grigri is $99. Grigri+ is $115. Petzl Zigzag without swivel is $200. With swivel is $235. Chicane+Biner is $166. Rope Runner Pro $400. Akimbo $400.

@arboristBlairGlenn 3 года назад

Great explanation of the devices. Everyone is different and we all like the one we get used to. I have the Rope Runner Pro but I still think Blake’s Hitch. (Hey, I’m old). BUT, willing to adapt and so far, having fun. Blair

THANK YOU, FOR EXPLAINING, AND DEMONSTRATING THESE CLIMBING DEVICES. I RECENTLY STARTED BUYING A WHOLE PILE OF CLIMBING GEAR, IN ORDER TO BEGIN CLIMBING TREES,.. I HAVE A BIG WHITE PINE, THAT I NEED TO EVENTUALLY DE-LIMB, AND TAKE MOST OF IT DOWN, EXCEPT FOR MOST OF THE MAIN TRUNK ...(I'LL LEAVE THAT TO DECAY FOR AWHILE, FOR THE LOCAL WOODPECKERS, ETC.). I BOUGHT A COUPLE OF PETZL ASCENDERS, ( R & L HAND), AND, FOOD LOOPS,.. CLIMBING VIDEOS FOR BOTH ROCK CLIMBING, AND ARBORIST WORK, HAVE BEEN MY OBSESSION, LATELY!! THERE'S A LOT TO LEARN, AND MUCH TO CONSIDER, IN ORDER TO WORK SAFELY, OFF THE GROUND!!...

RRP Is so great. A little tip, for the RRP, put a DDM grommit in the attachment point and avoid sideloading and dangling carabiner! Great vids, keep em coming!

@Sethhaun78 Год назад

That being said fellas the chicane goes great with hitch climber pulley and hrc cord..not with zigzag..and cord don't slip or get hit from above ..

@jonathanjekic4987 3 года назад

I actually found a way to collapse the zigzag with one hand. If you put your index finger on the upper pin of the chicane and pull it down, you can reach the zigzag with your other fingers and push it down. It takes a bit till your´re used to it, but I think it works great.

@odanne29 Год назад

Great video man, learn alot!

@maxhovland 2 года назад

I haven’t had trouble with my zigzag and chicane setup for limb walking. It is a stretch, but I can tap on the zigzag with my pinky and have comfortable control. However I’ve had it for over 2 years and it’s starting to slip, so I bought the rrp after watching a few of your videos. Hoping it’s everything it seems. Love the videos. Thank you for your intel.

@mrgardner6405 3 года назад

Hitches are special because of the unique attributes like feel and how many knots there is to try

@DoinstuffwithDakotah 3 года назад

I run the petzl setup. I love how smooth it runs, but i agree, the fact that you cant easily collapse the chicane is the ONE issue I have with it

@adventurersguild5501 3 года назад

Super Helpful

@teamja1088 Год назад

Maybe because I weigh 260lbs I never have a problem paying out rope while using the zigzag and the chicane. All I do is slightly depress the zigzag ever so slightly and down, or out, I go. The chicane slows my descent but it only slows it, I have never had to touch it to go down, or out on a rope.

@Vastafari34 3 месяца назад

What length prusik cord do you use?

@Bowmanator412 3 года назад

Which is the best mechanical device for pitch have you found? I think you've reviewed the Roperunner Pro and the Uniscender, is it one of these (or both?). I take it hitch cord doesn't fair well with pitch?

@Stridertrees 3 года назад

I think both the Zigzag and the unicender perform just fine on a pitchy rope (less so with the zigzag if the chicane is also involved) the rope runner pro is affected negatively but not nearly so bad as the akimbo, and yes hitch-cord is also awful.

@ThomasBartholomew-cj9ts Год назад

Can I use the rope runner pro if I weigh 320lbs?

@prestonhorton4497 9 месяцев назад

If anyone hasn’t said it already a great option to get your chicane close to the zigzag to make it tendable with one hand is to replace the carabiner connection between the zigzag and chicane with a quickee. Not technically petal approved because petal only wants you using their carabiners(money). But it is a totally safe option and is 3 or so inches more compact

@joealvarez180 2 года назад

Great tutorial!!! So, I just received a free Notch fusion tether and my question is. Which climbing rope do you recommend for this SRT??? Thanks, Joe

@Sethhaun78 Год назад

One that does both srt drt ..ivy or yale family

@xWingRed5 Год назад

How would you compare the RRP to the RE Akimbo? I've been looking into as many of the brands and models as I can before choosing a setup. Thanks! Great content, worth a sub.

@Sethhaun78 Год назад

Your weight and rope choice is the issue .not device

@bee_marshall 2 года назад

Zigzag chicane, RRP, Akimbo, Unicender. What do you rate as your number one overall pick? I was going to get Akimbo because of the compactness, but it seems very picky to have the cleanest rope possible.

@Stridertrees 2 года назад

If I had to pick just one I’d get the zigzag, but I’d put a rope wrench on it rather than the chicane. I don’t like the chicane.

@malcolmlittlefield1607 3 года назад

Thanks for all the awesome videos! Quick question: Did you remove your video on friction hitches? I can’t seem to find it anymore :( I think it was called essential knots part 2...

@Stridertrees 3 года назад

I did, an astute observer pointed out that my Blake’s and Michoacán hitches were slightly off, so I wanted to edit that before it gets reposted.

@Stridertrees 3 года назад

The way I learned was slightly off, and it never caused me any trouble, but upon closer examination they were right about the error.

@awesometopics1988 3 года назад

Hey man im not a pro at all I bought the rope runner pro about a year ago .. I find it to be awesome but I did not know you can use it with a moving rope system how-do-you-do that.. Can you make a video on Rope runner pro with a moving rope system.. This video was definitely a great comparison for anybody looking to purchase a progress capture device...

@Stridertrees 3 года назад

It’s really pretty straightforward, nothing changes except that instead of having the end of the rope anchored in the canopy it’s anchored back to my bridge. No other adjustments necessary. I often switch back and forth in the same tree depending on how I need to move in the canopy.

@creationcoach2703 Год назад

Can the tethered rope wrench with the zig zag be collapsed enough so you can reach the zig zag with the rope wrench?

@Stridertrees Год назад

Sometimes yes sometimes no, depending on which tether you use.

Hello!! I subscribed to your canal because I have to cut a 20 meter pine tree that is between 2 houses, buy me a chainsaw stihl ms310, 10mm rope, a grigri+ and other things, how can I cut and lower logs safely from above without letting them fall hard?? Do you have any video where it's shown? Thanks

What is your favorite rope wrench knot?

@christianmannel6413 3 года назад

what do you like more , rope runner or akimbo?

@Stridertrees 3 года назад

I use the akimbo more often, because it’s quick, compact and easily adjustable and I tend to have at least one newer clean rope to run it on, but as soon as all my climb ropes have pitch on them the akimbo goes in the bag and the RRP comes out.

@keiththompson2289 Год назад

What rope would you suggest for the rope runner pro?

@Stridertrees Год назад

most Modern arborist climbing ropes will work well with the RRP. You could try most any 24 Strand double braid in the 11.5-12.5 mm range and it'll work fine. Just start low and slow and use the adjustment on the bird to dial in the feel for what you want. Probably should avoid any of the 12 or 16 strand solid braids though.

@justink9966 3 года назад

Why does the hitch hiker never get any love compact, simple.

@Stridertrees 3 года назад

It is, and I have one, but it doesn’t get used because I have trouble tending the rope smoothly with one hand.

@jackberdine 3 года назад

Because you have to tie knots and that can be clunky for some people. That’s the ideal device in my opinion. A static amount of friction + a hitch (adjustable friction) in the smallest configuration possible.
