Great job on the video. This type of instruction is pretty unique. I don't see a lot of pruning videos out there that would apply to large trees. You're explaining the limb walking techniques well. Thanks for sharing.

Very useful! Limb walking techniques along with lateral anchoring and such is the most challenging for me on trees. Please keep those coming!

Excellent video on limb walking bro. Work positioning is a finesse skill that will save your energy and body in the long run. I'd love to climb that structure. I'm 43 and just made a career change into arboriculture. Climbing is glorious. Self awareness. Knowledge of your gear. Trusting your gear. Conquering fear on a daily basis. Then feeling free as a bird up there.

Enjoyed the video. Very nice demonstration on limb walking using side of limbs instead of crawling on top. Sometimes we forget the technique and start climbing out on top of the limbs. Using a lanyard and moving on side of limbs is so easy and comfortable. Thanks for presentation.

@cgriebel1 Жыл бұрын

Just what I was interested in. I have to set up two climb lines to do this safely, so this vid could not have come at a better time. I never thought of the "double wrap" thing on the lanyard set up - sometimes, it's the obvious things you don't think of. Thanks!

@Stridertrees Жыл бұрын

Two climb lines can be a great solution for tricky positioning I’ll frequently do just that

@jeremybuchanan4759 Жыл бұрын

Thanks so much for taking the time to make this. I'll be climbing two very droopy elms in the next few months - new to both SRT and work positioning. It's quite apparent as I survey the trees that I will need at least one work positioning line. I look forward to Part 2+!

@MichaelQuirk-gk1hn Ай бұрын

I have climbing fever. I've been only climbing for about a year but I lack a lot of field experience. I went through a vocational training program for tree trimming/line clearance but I'm more interested in removals and residential than being in a bucket all day. Do you think limb walking SRT is way more unstable than DRT? Only asking because I feel that way. What's your opinion on that? I've even learned how to switch it over to a 3-1 haul back and it's still sketchy feeling. You look really stable on single rope limb walking. Should I just get use to it? I love asending using SRT vs hunching but I hate limb walking SRT.

Great vid, i dont think ive ever seen anything like it. This information can only come from a man that has been through many big trees with some big tops. New climbers, and some old, need to see this. I feel like you could do more with this. Maybe large diameter limbs on steep angles far from your tie in. To elaborate on conserving energy, try to find a positions where you are minimally utilizing your core muscles to maintain your position and you will greatly improve your endurance when traversing throughout the tree tops. Especially on large trees with wide sprawling canopys.

@Stridertrees Жыл бұрын

For sure this is just the beginning of learning to navigate tricky limbs. There is a lot to it that can really only be learned through practice as well.

How do you like that Edelrid X Chest compared to more traditional support suspenders? I’d love to try a fall support top like that. Have you ever used it to work from the bucket?

@Stridertrees Жыл бұрын

I like the chest X, but it's not quite as comfy as standard suspenders for holding up the saddle, but I don't know of any suspenders I can buy that would be rated for life support/ fall arrest like this is. I actually will put one more piece of webbing or thin line through the central ring with a small accessory biner on both sides to hold up my harness, and that makes it better. I don't work out of a bucket, but if I did I'd certainly use something like this so I wouldn't have to switch harnesses to climb out of the bucket into the tree.

@@Stridertrees Do you think you’ll work on getting the MegaWatt approved for ITCC comps? I’d love do use a descender for some competition events, but I don’t like the Rig and D4 compared to the stats of the MegaWatt.

@Stridertrees 11 ай бұрын

@@treespicemedia I don't know who to approach to get it "officially approved" but it is already rated in the manufacturers documentation for use with up to 11.8 mm Static lines and it is approved both by CE and ANSI standards, so I can't think of a reason it would not be permitted.

In large prunes, it is the case most of the time. But yes, this vid opened the door to more vids in some far more difficult scenarios which i hope he continues these with them. The professional tree climbing world needs to see these.

It works better if you use small accessory carabiners in at least one front connection point to make it easier to take off, but yes it’s a bit cumbersome
