He, like most people, present way way better when it feels more conversational to them having a person to teach rather than just a lens in their face.

How was your trip? I hope you practiced before being at height lol

well if your rope has more than 2 ends it probably frayed somewhere and I think you might want to retire it if it has less than 2 ends that is a theoretical object, theoretical objects come with assumptions, with this type of rope work we don't make assumptions we do what we know

@@crazyt1483 Well, I had a rope with 2 ends, but I only need one, so I cut the spare one off. Now I got 4 ends. Something fishy is going on here.

😂 🤣 😂

We did several blocking types. Check out the textbook for the video.

What could you possibly want to do with this gear on a sunfish? Im genuinely curious

@@Heybudhowsitgoing not all of it at once, but I use sunfish from a pool of boats all with different rigging setups. I prefer a cleated block, but a lot of the hulls lack them. With some creative fixturing it is possible to add one, and using one of these devices would help by giving me more options for anchor points

@@ghostdog0424 I would argue that, especially in a small boat like a sunfish, its best to be able to release the sheets in a hurry, so fixing the sheets like that wouldnt be optimal. And the halyard already has a cleat, and doesnt need much adjustment. But there are plenty of days where you can sail for hours without risk of capsize so wanting to get that sheet out of your hand is understandable. I love sailing :) cheers man have fun! Sail on!

Check out canyoneering specific rope bags. Imlay Canyon gear or OnRope are two popular canyon brands in the Southwest. They have a large grommet in the bottom of the bag to allow the Rope to pass through. When descending with the Rope bag it is usually clipped to the harness or lanyard. Being that the Rope is stuffed into the bag it usually comes right out without issue unless on a longer Rappel which at that point you can pull out 20 ft or so to create a belly in the Rope to help mitigate twisting that comes from most figure eight style devices.

Just as the name suggest, Double Ended rope bags have openings on both sides, so you have access to both ends of the rope. In this video, the 2E bag is being used for a compound system, but the 2E bag van be used for several canyoneering scenarios. Several canyoneering gear brands sell 2E bags, here in the USA "Gear Perspective" offers one. 2E bag for a traverse line + rappel instagram.com/p/CagFxgRPzbW/ Bag gearperspective.com/product/double-end-rope-bag/

@@AdolfoIsassi That GP bag is quite nice. Nice to Learn about a new piece of gear.

Most people are not good in front of a camera but I found the hack, which is have them talk to me. Brent has 0 personality when he talks to a camera by himself, but when he is "showing me" on camera, he comes to life. It's also really hard for anyone to remember everything but having someone ask questions helps to keep them on track. I could make the big wall course by myself, but I'm doing it with someone because I found this style to be way way more effective.

@@HowNOT2 I completely understand, maybe the questions being more concise and allowing Brent to answer at his own pace could be good. You could get him to repeat the question back to you and just edit the video with him responding to a question rather than hearing you figure out exactly what question to ask and how to phrase it. In the end you do you, but this video I found particularly confusing because you were jumping all over the place figuring out your own stuff too. Obviously for free, that's totally fine, but then I would have marketed these videos as "watch me learn canyoning" and we could have learnt as well but when people come in expecting a course then I think it's a little against the grain to be taken out of the learning process to watch you learn. Either way, thanks for consistently making great content and informative videos.

They help a certain percentage of my audience and it does help my goal of cross pollination of the sports. We have break tests coming.

@@HowNOT2lol, so tactfully stated

It’s complicated stuff so having me regurgitate it helps those trying to learn it. It’s not supposed to be entertaining. We have over 300 other videos that meet that criteria, but this helps a certain % of the audience and helps cross pollinates the sports.

@@HowNOT2 Ryan love your stuff, but others learn at different paces, have different questions and are confused about different things, having you "interrupt" the lesson with your question feels like we need to sit through an online live tutorial with q and a's that we aren't allowed to join in on. Some of your questions or specifications were great since it aligned with what I wanted (more so in the previous vids), but others were just a waste of my time to see you figuring out something I already got. (There seems to be other comments mentioning this as well) Thank you for making all this stuff though. I'm very lucky to have free resources like this. You've helped me and my group get into climbing and trust the gear I'm using. Legend.

im sure your right . and i love the vast majority of those other videos- and truly appreciate the channel and all the work that is put into it that being said -it was around the 30 min mark that i just - like i see what’s happening, i wanna get it… but i am just struggling to follow

@@HowNOT2 Your questions and regurgitation are running at pretty much the right pace for me personally. Keep on.
