Thank you, Take care!

Thanks and welcome!

You're welcome!

Yes that would work. Good idea!

You are welcome!

Yes you can but out of rated cord and termination knots. Yes a little smaller in diameter.

You're welcome. I'm using a Buckingham Master 5.0.

I haven't tried this in the rain.

Sure we've made a video on it here it is. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9aTpKqgy863fqc.html

Thank you!

This is not dangerous. I essentially made a floating prussik lanyard. Floating prussik lanyards have been used in tree care for more than 30 and are still sold in arborist supply today. The carabiner is tied with a termination knot that holds it in place and the double locking clip is on the friction side. There is know way this would rub the bark when you adjust because you need to lift it off the bark when you adjust. You might try looking up floating prussik lanyard in arborist supply companies. Take care!

Awesome, it seems that I have not seen ‘floating prussic knot” lanyards like yours for sale in major outlets- , where the knot is in variable positions depending on girth of tree one is climbing, in fact anywhere. But hey - I love standing corrected…it is like rolfing, painful but good! haha. In my experience- anytime the controlling friction knot or device is not in a “static” place, right of your harness for a positioning lanyard it invites challenges. But enough of that. Safe, productive and profitable spring climbing days to you! regards

@@erlendgreulichfrontierbigw218 Nice, Thanks for sharing. Take care!

Thank you!

Yes you can or you might try making better lanyard. We've made lanyards with prusik cords. Check our videos on making lanyards.

Yes it's a tree climbing saddle. Buckingham master 5.0

bishco.com/steel-hand-line-snap-gold/ There are also other clips or snaps at Bishop company. Hope this helps.

Any rated tree climbing rope will work but it is more of what your preference is.

This one is rated a 5,800 pounds.

That will definitely keep you connected to the tree but what if you need to cut yourself out in an emergency. You would be stuck to the piece you're connected to.

That sound like it would work but the question was if I could make a lanyard with a rope and 2 carabiners. Thanks for sharing. Take care!

Thank you! I will contact you.

The one I made the lanyard with is a 13mm but you could also use 11.7 or 11.5 mm. as long as it is a rated climbing rope.

Having nice store bought equipment is always a good way to go. Sound like you have a great set up for your crew. Thank again for sharing!

“Company tested gear”? I doubt any of that stuff he uses in this video is cheap unrated gear lllllol

Yes it is, it is a 1/2 inch.

@@BinoH Oh, you've mentioned that, I confused it with the length being 11 1/2… and that converted to cm would be weird. Thank you for the reply Bino. :)

I'm not sure where he worked. Take care!

I haven't done it yet but you'd be surprised what people forget.

The pursik hitch is the same set up as a Blake's or Taught line and you would use a figure 8 as a stopper. Not much difference between a figure 8 and a Fisherman's stopper knot. When you are using a lanyard it is a secondary and it is under tension when you are using it. As I mentioned in the video if a 4 wrap prusik would slid then an option would be a 6 wrap. Any time you climb you should always manage your hitches making sure you are secure.

@@BinoH I agree: there is not much difference between a figure eight and a Fishermans stopper knot. Thats why I oppose for this situation any kind of stopper knot and instead suggest something like a bowline. Quote: "As I mentioned in the video if a 4 wrap prusik would slid then an option would be a 6 wrap." I trust a working prusik and I do not fear that it could slip: I think there is a possibility that the knot completely unties itself. So 4 or 6 makes no difference in this case. Quote:" Any time you climb you should always manage your hitches making sure you are secure." No. Totally wrong. If you have secure knots, you only have to make sure, that the rope is not damaged. If I climb, I do not check between routes, that the knots did not untied itself: you MUST use knots that are 100% secure. Because your life depends on it. And a stopper knot can always run through. Not while being on tension. But in moments without tension. Quote: "When you are using a lanyard it is a secondary and it is under tension when you are using it." ??? This might be a language problem, I am not a native speaker: but what is wrong with having a secondary, additional safety option? A bowtie, that serves as a stopper knot and in addition prevents The stopper knot from slipping through the prusik by attaching the end to the incoming rope. And if its a secondary, how can it be under tension than? And what would be even the problem if it would be under tension? The stopper knot is also under tension. I dont know: maybe once you go public (on youtube) with an idea, than you feel the need to defend your idea, instead of being open for suggestions.

@@scheisstag Hold on a second I don't need to defend anything on this video. What I displayed is a 4 wrapped prussik that was tied dressed and set with a double fishermans stopper knot in a looped lanyard situation and when under tentision did not slide or come undone and when I took my weight off and put weight back on the prussik was still intact with no slipping or coming undone. It seems to me that you are trying to make a comment of something that did not happen on the video.

@@BinoH Quote: "Hold on a second I dont need to defend anything on this video." I am a certified climbing instructor. But my viewpoint is not that everybody needs to book a course and needs to have a degree in safe climbing. I started as an autodidact in climbing. I learned a lot from youtube. But to make this possibility safe for all beginners the community has to assure, that the clips uploaded show safe practices. And yes: out of this perspective I say: you not only should be able to defend the practice you chose to teach online. You have a moral obligation to defend it: by uploading your privat practices, that I do not care for, you became responsible for the safety of your viewers. Quote: " It seems to me that you are trying to make a comment of something that did not happen on the video." I did not said, that it happened in this video. My point is: it could have happend in this video and to everybody who uses your clip as instructions. And in my opinion a mistake was made: you are setting up some gear for long term use (maybe only as a back up, but still not intended for single use). And you chose a knot, that needs constant checking. And a knot,that needs checking is dangerous in itself, even if the knot is for single, instant use right after tying it. But even more, if you use at as part of a set up system, that in reality is not checked part for part every time. And I made the experience, that people, who are unable to back up their decision with arguments still insist on being right. Just because it hurts so bad to agree into a mistake.

Yes I'm and Arborist.

@@BinoH seriously cant imagine you working in trees crown, or even getting up There. Most arborist, industrial,activist or even sports climber I know have not that of a paunch. I would be very immobile in the tree/bridge/wall 🤨

True statement believe it or some times it happens or new lanyard could get damaged and you could create something safe to get through the day! Thank you for sharing!

It's also called a Double Fisherman's Bend or a Scaffold knot or a Poacher knot. a Granny knot is also called an over hand knot.
