This has been an absolutely great video, thanks BAS. I work as fire rescue heavy rescue and everything we do is so reliant on gear (static line; ascenders; descenders; Gri Gri’s; pulley systems; loads of Paratech). The annoying bit is we tend to be pretty good with knots but must use the gear. So watching this video is so refreshing. I’d go so far as to use the word “freeing”. 😅

Exactly the way i was trained to do line clearance in 2004 and the methods i still use today. The only difference is i use a taught line hitch instead of the blake. I was taught the blake first but the taught line is easier to tie while in a tree imo. Great throwback video for me. I never see anyone climb without some kind of device anymore.

Did a test for an arborist apprenticeship and had no clue how to limb walk. Had to climb up about 35 feet then limb walk about 10 feet to hit a bell, with no other branches to grab onto. Somehow I got across and then kind of straddled my way back. Had to free climb another 15 feet from there. It was interesting and I saw people give up at that first limb walk. Seeing this video, I now wonder if I would have been able to use this method. If I take on the apprenticeship, it might be cool to learn the proper way to do these things. God bless and saving this video!

Love this video. What is the spar? and how does it help to mitigate the risk of climbing of just a limb
@BartlettArboristSupply2 ай бұрын
The spar, or the main trunk, is and should always be the preferred anchor for the any climbing system. When anchoring to a limb on its own, the climber runs the risk of breaking that limb and falling to the ground.
@killdeer132 ай бұрын
So after he roped the limb then he got it around the spar so the limb supported the rope at that height but the rope still wrapped around the main trunk of the tree. I assume this takes weight off of the limb and disperses it on the trunk and limb?@@BartlettArboristSupply

Thank you for clarifying this method. I was introduced to arborist climbing with zigzags and lockjacks, and when I got my own gear and tried to work with just one rope and no devices it seemed like immeasurably more work - I'm now trying to buy devices, glad to see I was doing it essentially correct and wasn't just missing something. For me, even though it can be done, the big killer with this technique is that the rope doesn't fall through the hitch by itself, and must be manually pulled through with one arm while holding one's weight on the other arm. This puts so much more strain on the arms and hands. I resent how expensive mechanical prusiks are, but I've given in and will be buying one soon, before my forearms seize up completely!

This is just my humble opinion. When I discovered how to use a split tail, it made life so much easier. If I was about to climb with a new rope, I would cut 3 or 4 ft off the end and use it as a quick split tail. Same blakes hitch, except without having to re-tie it over and over. I'd rater have a shorter rope, then have to tie a Blake's over and over every time I wanted to switch spots.

@Wherecrisgo7 ай бұрын
Absolutely! Your body weight, on a roughly a half inch line, moving is going to create a lot of friction. That is why it is imperative, to use arboricultural standard ropes, and make sure you are capturing "the spar"of the tree, not just a limb.

@BartlettArboristSupplyАй бұрын
Excellent questions! Yes, the rope and tree could see damage. From an efficiency stand point yes, it would be efficient to foot lock up with a hand ascender, however foot locking is almost a lost art and the technique needs to be on point. Another point to that; additional hardware may be needed and some like to keep simple. A friction saver would be the most practical thing to use to protect both rope and tree.

I'd use the rope if I was you. Jumping's fast but not so enjoyable. If you watch the knot he keeps pushing up higher as he goes up the tree, if you put slight downward pressure on that knot, your weight will pull the rope downward through the knot & act like a sort of elevator. There's arborist videos on YT that demonstrate exactly how to tie that knot & how to operate it.

Where did the second throw go? The first was over the limb but the limb wasn't to be trusted so there was a second throw it was apparently really important as the limb was not to be trusted, but then it was never explained? Also it would be nice to know the rope specs. I'm contemplating climbing and limbing a redwood in my front yard.
@BartlettArboristSupplyАй бұрын
If you are referring to the second throw on the ground; Chris's second throw was to get the rope onto the backside of the tree, that way the climbing route was clean and free from obstruction. If you were referring to the second throw while Chris was in the tree, the camera shot would not have been clear. This throw was isolated onto the main stem. The rope in the video is Biohazard (Samson custom), and is a 16-strand with an average strength of 8,100 and a working load limit of 810.

When I was a kid, we used to hunt raccoons along the Mississippi river. This was back in the late 60s and you could get 15 sometimes $20 for a large raccoon hide. That was a lot of money in those days. Well, sometimes the dog would chase a raccoon up an oak tree. And in the late fall, there will still be leaves on oak trees. So you could not see the raccoons eyes with a flashlight in order shoot it. I could climb trees like a monkey, so I would often times have to shinny up a tree 20 feet or so for the first limb. I would climb up to the small branches to where the raccoon was. I had a little Louisville slugger bat in my belt, the ones they used to give out at games. And I would have my ball cap on backwards You used the bat to try to convince the raccoon to jump. Sometimes he would, and sometimes he crawled back down over the top of you. That’s why you had your ball cap on backwards. Then you chased him down the tree. At some point he would jump, and then the fight was on with the dog. Let me tell you, a raccoon can get pretty mean in the small branches. It was great adventure when you were a kid.
