You can use it near the end no problem. Attach your retrieval line to the knot or a splice.

Vincent Herman Natural Redirects. Not 5 or 6 of these.

But on the last one you said you've done 5 or 6 redirects and it pulls just fine. I'm still a little lost. Maybe an example on how you would set 5 or 6 redirects and pull this (pinto revolver) just fine. Thanks.

Tom G while that is normally the prudent thing to do, I feel like the pulley separates them enough to not be an issue. I like to face the both away from the tree. My observation has been that the trunk is far more likely to open a gate. Thanks for sharing.

yea in this set up it isnt a problem, i like the way you set up the ring cinch too. i think id prefer to use the ring as no worries cross loading it and no rope on rope friction ever thanks

I can't tell you if it's safe or not. It's widely used, I use it often.

Red hot coat hangar.

Yes

Would be interested in that to!

@@sempi8159 I tried my own tests (only 2 of them). I did one with a basic pulley and a quick link. I used a well used rope so the test wasnt super reliable. But I believe the pulley methos was weaker due to the "sharp" edges digging into the rope in the knot. My tests broke close to 3000lbs.

@@cameronstudley196 which sharp edges? Thats not alot🤔 gonna stick to the texas tug then i guess😅

@@sempi8159 I was using a Petzl Fixe pulley. It has those hard edges on the frame. so not sharp but sharper than a quick link. But dont forget that this rope was well used and several years old. The rope probably only had a break strength under 4000. maybe I'll ask @hownottohighline for a test

@@cameronstudley196 ah, very nice! I was wondering about the fixe pulley. Seems like its the “pinto light” a bit cheaper and less strength and finisch. But the pinto is very smooth and rope friendly so im sure that will be alot better. Especially with good rope😌 Would love if hownottohighline made more arborist content!

I guess any which way you decide to orient the carabiner in the Pinto Cinch configuration is loading the carabiner in a strange way. Not so terrible that I would deem it unsafe or anything, but it's not being loaded in the way it was designed to be. I'd say, whatever way you wanna put the carabiner is fine, as long as the gate cannot be accidently loaded or opened by pressing up against the stem. Great video by the way. Lots of different options for CA's! Thanks duder

English?

Lol how is a jammed pulley saver complicated?

@@seanmack8731 you’ve clearly not done a lot of tree work if you are asking this question. It’s not complicated to understand, it’s complicated for the work.....things go wrong, things get caught.

@@aliray1165 different scenarios require different tools. It’s definitely not too complicated to pull out a cambium saver and while I don’t use that set up every climb. It does come in handy although I usually just basal tie. Yeah, I don’t do enough tree work. Your the one saying a tool[cambium saver] is too complicated to retrieve even when this is one of the most basic techniques and a standard on double rope if you are pruning. Yeah this is modified with pulleys and a little webbing sling but same concept on retrieval.

@@seanmack8731 nah it’s too complicated to be practical. Any tree worker with a reasonable amount of experience knows this lol

@@aliray1165 is that right? Lol. I bet you are a great “tree worker” bud.
