Fantastic video! I love how you broke down the basic movements step by step. I’ve just started recently climbing, doing tree work on my property only. I’ve noticed some limbs I’ll have to “walk” out onto, and this helped me mentally picture my moves.

You guys are on a roll. Absolutely priceless guidance between both of these recent limb walk vids. Amateur climber here, and I never thought of re-positioning my lanyard centrally (or on a side D for that matter) while triangulating into another hang point, although I'll admit, I do tend to deploy my Captains Hook to get another line out to triangulate my position. Thanks again boys!!

Do you have any videos on ascending 45 degree limbs? Flat or vertical are more intuitive but 45 degrees is challenging.

@BartlettArboristSupply 14 күн бұрын

We do not have a video like that up on the channel just yet, but the simplest way to do just that is by incorporating the lanyard and flipping up, while pushing against the limb. It is a bit easier on moving rope system too.

How do you manage a 45° limb with not many foot holds?

@BartlettArboristSupply 9 ай бұрын

Ahh, those may be tricky but can be accomplished. I tackle those in the "Jaguar Stance"; not directly on it but to the side. I will also utilize my lanyard for these limbs. With the lanyard in place, I will push on the limb with my feet creating pressure and slowly flip my way up, while tending slack as well.

@ravenshield7823 5 күн бұрын

So there is no advantage to using your rope wrench for limb walking with MRS, just your hitch of choice and attach it for descending? It seems like it's a lot easier to tend slack with the hitch climber this way.

@BartlettArboristSupply 3 күн бұрын

A rope wrench is not necessary when working MRS, unless you plan on performing a pick-off rescue.

Great video 😊 i would like to ask, what would be the best technique for limb walking but when you dont have the top of the tree to support

@BartlettArboristSupply 9 ай бұрын

OOF, that is a good one! Three ways I would go about it: 1. Crane, 2. An aerial lift, 3. Lastly, If there are other trees around, I would try to set up a floating tie-in point.

@The-Way-of-the-Arborist 8 ай бұрын

Or, if you can't get out to the limb in question... you can climb out as far as you can go with a sturdy position,, pull up your pole saw with your rope, and cut those outer branch tips like I did today 😅

@ivanpopovic8916 8 ай бұрын

Crane and aerial lift is out of question 😅 the problem is that before they cut the top of the tree and now you have long branches of the tree which need to be cut down, i think that pole saw would be my next investment. Thank you for the comment

Gotta do it in style! That's what's gonna happen when you have an expert who not only knows what they're doing, but it's comfortable and second nature to them. Plus, it's automatic...the're not doing it to impress...but rather it's borne out of efficiency and practicality. And then they just happen to look damn good doing it!!

what is really funny is that tree climbing is easy , but with all the over done rigs today its as if you guys think your up a 2000 ft cliff , and i am a 38 year vet and still climbing 6 days a week , less is more your main tool is your body and arms and balance with a basic climbing rig , if you cant climb like a monkey your not a climber .

@BartlettArboristSupply 7 ай бұрын

To each their own. Nothing is wrong with working light and with basics, however with the advancement in gear, it helps the climber save energy and be a bit more efficient.
