JRBUS Part 4: Building a Four Hitch System

JRB Tree Climbing and Saddle Hunting

10 ай бұрын

As an alternative to the six-hitch system shown in the introduction, a four hitch version of the JRB Universal System (JRBUS) can be created, allowing the option to add additional components 'on the fly'. This variation of the system might appeal to a climber who does not hitch climb very often and does not want the extra friction hitches on the line. Related videos:

Yes many options , could go zero hitches, install the rope, throw on an agile hitch, or two and a Garda hitch and CLIMB! Or six …. I ‘ m leaning toward 5😊: two jrb compact for hitch pole climbing, two more jrb 5-2-3 soft bridge ascender hitches that I can add handles to if I want, cord in my pack if I want to throw on a redundant agile, and of course the Garda , also a carbariner for descent….. I feel able to climb any tree SRT up to 70 foot, dsrt up to 37 ft, or just hitch climb and maybe set a false crotch…. Thanks my brother John for expanding my capabilities and steering me to safe climbing

Excellent comment and perspective. Yes, there is a 5 hitch option and even a different 4 hitch option. I had filmed that idea as part of this video, but decided to drop that out in the editing. I just didn't want to confuse anyone. I have to think about it some more and decide what makes a more logical part 5

I should have kept up with how many times I’ve watched these

I’m doing my foot loops with no ring, tube web with a piece of garden hose and water knot , JRB 5-2-3 soft bridge , tends great as I advance. I hitch climb a lot so I’ve got my 75 ft rope set up with six hitches , two for DSRT and four for hitching, also carry my garda hitch, so I’m using a 7 hitch universal system

One thing I'm a bit stuck on is what properties of the different hitches lead you to using one or another for different applications? I'm sure if I dug enough I could find the answers, but there's a lot to go through! I understand that the JRB ascender takes more effort to tie, so you don't prefer to do that at the tree. Therefore it won't be on a part of a system where removability is key. What advantages then does it have over the Longhorn Agile? The LHA also has self tending mode, but has no metal in it and can be tied more easily/quickly. On the other hand, you don't seem to like using the regular Agile hitch for SRT or "leap frog" hitch climbing. Why is that? The main disadvantage for it that I can tell is the lack of self-tending mode, but that doesn't seem critical for the hitch attached to your harness in an SRT climb. You can't use self-tending anyway when you've weighted the rope with the footloop. Thanks again for all that you do, I'm amazed you can keep up with all the questions you receive!

In my OWN climbing, I execute SRT climbs using an Agile hitch (7mm on 9.5mm) all the time. However, the Agile is tougher to break under load (as compared to JRB Ascender and Longhorn Agile), but I can always do it... and if I couldn't do it, it's easy for me to temporarily unload the hitch using my leg (as demonstrated in the Self rescue after loss of footing video). I am simply more conservative about what I show others. Of course, the climber accepts responsibility... but I am doing my best to remember that not everyone has the same size, shape and strength. I watched a guy more than double my weight (and very out of shape) try to climb recently and it wasn't pretty. I try to consider that in what I demonstrate.

What are you using for your retrieval rope?

@jrbtc 9 ай бұрын

For these vids, I am using a high visibility 25ft 6mm Sterling cord, which is enough for most hunting situations. When hunting, i have some 4mm and 5mm cords, and go a bit longer, as the length should be about 6ft less than the highest crotch we might ever rig.

Found it finally. Bet I don’t lose it again
