I really like your method and approach to one sticking. it's safe with the lineman rope quick and simple. The figure 8 is what I will be using this season and the way you run it through the carabiner makes a lot of sense. Thanks for sharing and stay safe.
Благодарю за видео! В одном видео показано всё что нужно, что бы научиться лазить на деревья с минимум снаряжения. И безопасно спускаться на землю! Очень полезно было это увидеть.
I noticed your accender is orange tethered has a recalling some of the orange ones saying teeth are prone to slip. Not sure of the maker but check it out . Be safe buddy..
@@alecbeuhler454 I put this one together from an old muddy pro I had. If you go to eastern woods outdoors you can purchase the complete one stick pretty much exactly like I have in the video.
@@tylerelkins9619 to be honest I didn’t even know that was a thing! lol I just got the tether locker not to long ago. In the video I just did it how I had always done it before I got the flexi ohm. But I’m gonna try that out for sure! Appreciate it man!
@@reddirtadv393 I built my stick out of a muddy pro stick. The platform on top is an eastern woods outdoor ultimate platform (angled) and the standoffs are also from eastern woods outdoors. I also got the harken cam cleat from EWO. The bottom step is from a beast stick I had laying around. So basically it’s a Frankenstein stick but it works awesome for me!
Very dangerous climbing with your bridge above your tether, you started out great with the linesman belt, but did not use it while making the climb, and then put it back on after the climb, had you fallen it would have been in excess of a fall factor 1, a 3 foot fall on 3 foot of slack for a 200 pound person will generate more than 1500 pounds of force, and while our gear will take it our bodies will not. It is NOT uncommon for fall factor 1 falls with static rope to break bones and many times it is the spine. We see climbers take big falls but they use dynamic ropes with up to 30% stretch, and even then they usually pull their belayers right of their feet and into the air to absorb energy created from the fall. Most of the falls we see that climbers have would be fatal on static rope. The ropes we use are static and have no give so your body will take all of it. Please everyone try to keep as much slack out of your tether as possible, and for sure never climb where your attachment point is above your tether. BTW there are a lot of videos on you tube explaining the forces of fall factor 1 and 2 falls on static rope, a fall factor 1 is where your tie in point meets your tether, and a fall factor 2 is where your feet meet your tether. If interested in seeing the force of static line falls search you tube for (hownot2 could you survive this?) Good luck to everyone hunting this year and try and keep the slack from your tethers.
I appreciate your response. I do agree with you that slack is dangerous and understand the dangers of it. With that being said, it is far more dangerous in my opinion to be trying to climb up to my step all while trying to move my tether up. In this case the tree I was climbing has a bunch of limbs which would not have allowed me to move my tether up unless I stopped while still standing on my aider, put my linesman’s belt on, and then moved the tether. To me that is giving me more of a chance to slip up rather than just getting into a secure position on my step where I can then put my linesman’s belt on to move my tether higher. Now if I was on a limbless tree, moving my tether up as I go and minimizing slack is the correct way.
