Excellent video. As a power lineman for over 20 years at a major utility, I can truly appreciate the information and insight that you are delivering to your audience. We are trained alot and have been true 100% fall restraint for a while. It has always made me cringe to see guys assuming a "lineman" belt would keep them safe while hunting. I am looking to get into saddle hunting, but realize it will be slightly different than what I am used to, and just want to do it the safest way possible. Thanks!

Thanks for all the great info you provide the hunting community!! We do need more people like you. I'm a firm believer of always being attached to the tree via a long climbing rope.

Thx. Saddle hunting is a relatively new thing for the majority. But we can make it the safest way to hunt by promoting best practices and interruption of the spread of misinformation.

Thank you for putting all this inormation out there. I am very happy to have found your channel and to have adapted the jrb climbing method. I have only been hunting for 12 years or so and also made some uninformed choices early in my climbing journey. I feel so safe with your method and am always amazed at how cavalier people are about tree stand and climbing safety. The widespread trust in a linemans rope as a single point of attachment is unbelievable. I am not afraid of heights and work on scaffolding for part of the year. Nobody plans on things going wrong,but sometimes they do.

I worked at height quite a few times with my dad in construction when i was younger. Learned a lot, good and bad. It's time to passt on the knowledge. Cheers

John …the information that you have shared over the years, may have already saved lives…they’ll probably never realize that there alive and well cause of safer practices that they learned from the JRB Chanel. I can see how much you care about the safety of tree climbers, hunters, and the climbing community. I enjoy your videos very much and have incorporated some of your techniques into my hunting system. Good stuff John! Thanks

I think this is one of your most important videos. All of of your videos are informative on technique, skill and safety, and this one continues to drive-home the fact there are hazards and risks associated with climbing; and that with careful consideration, training, skill and the right gear those risks can be managed and/or mitigated. Thanks.

Thanks. Agreed 100%!

I've recently learned to climb using SRT. Your videos/tutorials have been my go to when researching technique. I employ the garda hitch/a custom foot loop and a VT Prusik to ascend/descend with the Munter w/VT backup. The saddle I use has repelling loops where my secondary bridge/best friend is always attached during Ascent/Descent. When climbing, or on rappel, I feel confident with my system. Be safe out there folks.

Appreciate that. It took a while to build and organize and prioritize my list based on every question and mishap and mistake i see. But once i got it done, and thought it thru, i was able to do this video without a script, just a 10 item list i could barely read from 15ft in a tree, lol. The hard part is getting the word out. I got kicked out of the biggest saddle hunting group on Facebook who don't appreciate anything other than what they are selling. Thats how deep the misconceptions run. I don't care if folks buy a hundred different sticks. Go for it. I care that they don't get hurt if there is a problem.

You can tell it was well thought out. Well spoken too. This information is imperative, especially as the saddle hunting community grows.

Hey JRB, had a great 4 day bow hunt, hitch climbed with the Maverick and a 2-4 ft pole, let a doe go , ….. had very safe and fun climbs….used 2,5-2-3 compact jrb ascenders with a ring, and two foot loops on the 5-2-3 ascender in soft bridge mode, along with a lineman rope with a 5-2-3 jrb soft bridge ascender. Was stable and tied in constantly, just wish I could find a pole that I can pack but extend to at least 10 feet, I need to have one hand free when walking as the other is on my weapon or navigation, I hunt a wilderness area and it is easy to get lost in the BIG WOODS. Thanks for all you share

Great video! I started on rope climbing and will only rope climb because it checks more boxes on safety and has less vulnerabilities than 'sticking'. 1. You always have enough rope to ground. 2. You are always attached to the tree from start to finish without relying on attachment points that must be redone on every step of every climb. The only advantage sticks have is that there is no need of accessible limbs but that has nothing to so with safety so I'll just find another tree if I can't climb the first one I want.

See the JRB Hitch Climbing playlist. We don't need a throwball to rope climb.

@jasrobsny 9 ай бұрын

@@jrbtc Yeah but JRB requires multiple friction hitches and it's far more complicated. I don't know about doing all that in the dark either.

@covidcrotch1960 9 ай бұрын

I have not tried this kind of. Climbing yet I. I 2 tether climb and keep multiple tethers with me Xtra foot loop. I can't wait to try rope Climbing with no mechanical devices. I 3njoy ropes.
