JRB Tree Climbing and Saddle Hunting

Күн бұрын

When it comes to climbing safety, the same basic principles from rope climbing apply when we are using climbing sticks: Tie In, Manage Slack and have a Rappel Path to ground at all times. Whether we are executing a One Stick Climbing Method or using multiple sticks, using JRB's innovations, we can climb with an anchored tie in point to the tree and no slack 100% of the time.

I know John was being serious to help one-stick folks to be safe. However, I couldn’t stop laughing at this being a parody…should be titled “a JRB’er Trying to One-Stick…Nah, Waste of Time”. 😂 btw, I think John just convinced me to buy the Maverick Pole!

I was using trekking poles last year and they worked fine. The only issue was the ones i have can easily come apart as you telescope them out. I just bought the maverick pole and it’s so much better. It stays together and has a longer reach

Ha. The most difficult part of this video was coming up with a TITLE for it. I literally shot the video in one continuous take with no script and no rehearsal... and it was east to produce... but I how to scratch my head for quite a while to come up with a title. Next time, I am gonna ask YOU for some help! Cheers

@sherrylawrence Ай бұрын

Thank you for all the work you do to help us stay safe. I will be implementing the JRB cinch on both ends of my rappel rope this year. I never liked the slack while one sticking.

@jrbtc Ай бұрын

I would like to know why you prefer the Cinch over the Maverick. Is it because of the ease of attachment? Because retrieval requires a little bit more effort.

@Schubox62 Ай бұрын

By watching your channel, I was one-sticking last year with a maverick hitch in lieu of a lanyard, in the method in which you first showed (prior to using the garda). You are so correct: it is very awkward climbing an aider and one-stick while trying to minimize the slack between advances. (It should also be noted that aiders are very dangerous without a proper toe plant against the tree.) Your video title is also correct: the stick is really optional. I plan to keep mine for now, but only as a hunting platform that is lightweight and easy to attach. If this video gets the number of views that it deserves, the market might get ripe for used one-sticks...🤣

@daniellundy510 Ай бұрын

I agree with you 100%. I’m keeping my one stick for now as well. As i continue to practice srt/hitch climbing I’m not seeing a lot of need for a one stick. I too have found managing slack with the one stick to be very awkward and clumsy.

I just made a similar comment above, but coming up with a title for this video was the most difficult part for me.

John, first I want to thank you for the wealth of information that you put out on this channel for free! You’ve changed my whole mindset on how I climb and on climbing safety. I one sticked all last season, was very unsafe initially, didn’t even throw my lineman’s belt around the tree till I was standing on top of my platform (very stupid)….about halfway through I started using the JRB cinch and longhorn agile hitches, then learned how to tie the Maverick and stuck with that for my hitches, still wasn’t even close to managing slack properly…this season I’m committed to hitch climbing with the JRB system. I’ve done a few practice climbs and have really enjoyed it. Thanks again John, please keep putting out the great info!!

Greetings from Canada's west coast! John, just want to say that I appreciate all that you are putting into this, I am learning a lot, changing some of my own systems that are more "Bushcrafting" related but in some cases also in need safety considerations, and really enjoying your channel overall. Thanks, Mike.🙂👍

Thanks for sharing the information, I’ve been one sticking for the last 3 deer seasons and I’m always looking for ways to to improve with safety being number 1. The slack while climbing the aider to the stick has always been a concern for me, I want to learn this system with the maverick hitch and foot loop , thanks again !

Appreciate that. If I am provoking thought, I consider that step in the right direction. Once we have a goal... we can set off to achieve it. Cheers

I love the maverick hitch. I will also never climb without being tethered in via my lifeline, and will always use a lifeline now thanks to your videos such as the ‘what to do when footing is lost’ type video you made which I shared with friends. I have a question. I’m unsure if you know who Dan infault is. If you look him up, a lot of his setups end up in brushy very small dia trees and quite low. I would like to see a video of how you with your system would go about getting into similar trees such as he uses in those setups as safely as you use it in larger dia trees. I’m thinking small diameter and relatively extreme brush up against the tree I’m trying to get into. I’m not sure of the best route to go with that situation with this rope based system. As I find myself in those situations often where I find my target bucks living.

@jrbtc Ай бұрын

Now that's a GREAT question and suggestion. You already know I can climb. What you don't know is that I have had many consistent years of success at tagging mature whitetail bucks. We'll get to that topic at a future point in time. Safety first. But as it pertains to your question, most hunters seem to spend most of their time hunting a tree that will work with their climbing system. That's not going to make us successful. We need to hunt where the deer are traveling, not where we want them to be. And the more cover, the better and that doesn't usually leave us the best choices of trees. I have just taken your suggestion and added it to my future list video topics. I can't give you a promise on when, but I'll get to it

@robertwilliamson6958 Ай бұрын

Thank you. I will keep an eye out for it. I appreciate the content, voicing safety first, and since learning and utilizing many of the things you show for myself I very much enjoy climbing almost as much as hunting now. So thank you!

@kevinvargason8835 Ай бұрын

At this point I see the stick can be beneficial for standing stable to create that second hitch. But there are so many ropes in the way. No reason for the stick with that system.

@jrbtc Ай бұрын

@kevinvargason8835 We basically agree: if we want to climb safely, we don't need a stick. However, if anyone climbs with one or more sticks, of course they can, but they still should climb safely. In my book, and according to everything I have learned over the years, we gotta be tied in 100% of the time and managing slack. Most aren't doing so. And to be clear, there is only one rope in this system, but we use both ends of it. Two is a manageable number for me.

@kevinvargason8835 Ай бұрын

@@jrbtc yes only the one rope which I plan to employ this method this year. The rope for the stick is there and I can see potential for getting tangled when climbing in the dark. The maverick looks to be very simple to tie and with practice should be able to to tie this in the dark very simply.

@jrbtc Ай бұрын

@kevinvargason8835 Excellent. And FYI and consideration, this same basic method can be accomplished with the JRB Cinch instead of the Maverick hitch. The advantages that nothing needs to be tied. The disadvantage is that there is some metal in the setup and it's a bit more effort to retrieve. But some folks prefer it. I plan to demonstrate that in an upcoming video. There is a page dedicated to the JRB Cinch on my website

Training wheels aren't necessarily a waste of time. But we don't need to leave them on the bike forever.

@smau990 Ай бұрын

Do you have a solution using the maverick pole on a tree with branches in the way? I've been trying to figure out if I could use Beta Stick from rock climbing field with locking carabiner somehow. I'm not worried about using carabiner to girth hitch but getting around the tree at height remains an issue.

@jrbtc Ай бұрын

@smau990 short answer: a tree with A LOT of branches is going to be a hassle with a pole. It's better to use a throwball if the branch is live and viable. A tree with a few branches can be climbed with a pole, bypassing em one at a time, but I might need to demonstrate it.

@Sullivanblake_ Ай бұрын

John, in reference to my question (remote release) on the how to video of the Maverick hitch, I couldn’t see where you “clipped in” your release line on the tag end of the hitch. Is there any way in your upcoming videos you demonstrate the remote release in camera frame? I just want to be on the safe side. Thanks

@jrbtc Ай бұрын

That's a good point... i have a small rigging carabiner tied on the end of my retrieval line. And i clip that into the eye or JRB end loop on the end of my rope. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZsiAlNWeuMqccXU.htmlsi=zFaXQrWbd9LS6MeB
