Executing a Transfer

JRB Tree Climbing and Saddle Hunting

15 күн бұрын

In order to ensure our safety, JRB recommends that tree climbers are tied INTO the tree at all times, specifically via an anchor in the tree which has a no-slack connection to their bridge at all times. Depending on the nature of the climbing application, this requirement puts us in situations where we must TRANSFER our body from one rope/anchor to another while in the canopy, and with nothing under our feet. This video demonstrates how JRB executes the TRANSFER operation using other "tools in our toolbox" which were provided in earlier videos:

Anoher great demo. "Look at me now, mom" put a smile on my face. Thanks again John!

@@jesseherbert2585 there's no script and so I'm not exactly sure where that came from. But I'm glad you enjoyed it

Nice one JRB, I’m always doing a transfer with my hitch climbing.😊

I really appreciate your thorough development and demonstration of your processes.

@ChrisTietjen_00 thank you. I will be using this move quite a lot and I didn't want to spare you the details. When my bridge was too long, I would fall too far away from the tree when putting up my next hitch. And now that we can do it with a very short bridge, I can really be comfortable and make an efficient move

Awesome, John! The evolution of the JRB Hitch climb is great! Just as the LAH has become. I believe more folks will grab on to this style climbing, being the versatility with all types of trees! I feel even more secure, a connection with the tree! Thank you!

@@SteveMcQueen-bx4hu thank you. These details are important. But when you see me hitch climb, I am much more fluent given my very short bridge and the Carabiner around the rope. It's like wearing a tiny little lineman's belt

I truly believe that from my experience, latey, using the LAH Bridge. And now seeing the Transfer you derived at, excited to get climbing! Have a great weekend!

Great video, John! Me, personally? I'd rather use a throw line and a throw weight to set a canopy tie around the highest point of the spar by pulling the loop up with the throwline. Then you don't need to make any crossovers. Depending upon the tree, this may not be practical. It just seems like a lot of work to climb this way, but I respect your ingenuity 100%. I'd rather spend an hour with my throwline setting a premiere TIP than using a telescoping pole to gradually work my way up a spar. But I know saddle hunting is a different ballgame, so, as a traditional arborist style climber, maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. Still love the redundancy that the Garda hitch best friend provides. That's definitely clever. Best wishes, John.

Thanks for your input. Yes we agree. Let me explain: there are a lot of saddle hunters who will go deep into new territory under darkness and pick out a tree and climb it. A throwball isn't practical for them, so they use climbing sticks and are climbing with a dangerously slack tie in scheme, or missing it altogether. This pole and transfer operation can be used to safely scale a tree without a throwball. I am about to release some new content showing the climb, but I wanted to have this reference video which details the transfer and explains why I like my bridge so short.

@@jrbtc Thanks for your quick reply and thank you for clarifying why a hunter might choose to climb this way. It makes a lot of sense, especially since hunting is, in great part, avoiding alerting your prey to your position. I think it would be really helpful for both new and old viewers if you spent some more time explaining why and when some of your climbing methods would be ideal to use, as well as how to execute the technique best. I haven't watched all of your videos, and I have no doubt that you have done this in previous videos. However, as someone new to this style of climbing, it left me confused because your method -- initially -- seemed so inefficient compared to how I normally climb. But now it makes sense. Finally, I can confirm what you said towards the middle of the episode after you say that some people refer to those changeovers as "redirects," and how they aren't redirects. A redirect, as you aptly pointed out, changes the angle of one's climb line. One creates a redirect either to a) prevent large swings while moving away from one's TIP, b) to optimize work positioning/positioning in general and c) to allow for more direct access to another part of the canopy, etc. Also, a redirect is always installed onto one's climb line, so making changeovers, which involves two ropes anchored to a spar, alternately, doesn't fit the profile. So, in short, I agree. Changeovers aren't redirects because nothing is being redirected lol You're just ascending using two ropes.
