Nice, thanks for sharing!

Thank you!

Thanks again!

I've never heard of the Stich Hitch.

You might want to check one of my videos. How to climb without an eye splice. It shows one option for a canopy tie. Another option is a floating canopy anchor.

Nice, thanks for sharing!

Great suggestion, I've been thinking about that. I have to rotate the carabiner on the chicane. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing! Take care!

Yes my first choice is SRS with the Rope Wrench using a 24" cord and a Michoacán hitch with Hitch climber pulley and short tether.

I'm 245 lbs. and it has not slipped but I'm what will happen after time.

Yes I like the center post and it is just my preference. Thanks for sharing!

I like the Rope Runner Pro but for me it only works well on my xstatic line.

We've made a couple of videos on base anchors that you can release from the ground. It's a good idea but I think the only way someone would be able to rescue you from the ground is if there was nothing in your way. If you were injured and you lanyard was connected or if there were multiple branches below you. Some one would probably need to climb to you anyway and rescue you. Having a system that you could operate from the ground would help.

Yes it sounds like a good idea. I will keep it in mind. Thank you!

It works great first thing I did with chicane few years ago .only it can't be instantly collapsed like a wrope wrench as easily. There is a technique or if you have huge hands .but other than that it's far smoother with hitchclimber than rope wrench is.onky that one hick up .on limb walks.if you notice most every tether theses days is stiffer and a copy off the chicane. Design just altered. You don't want to side load chicane over small limbs sideways but otherwise great .I still prefer hitches cords.but zigzag in moving rope can't be beat .friction is hard with hitches. Especially natural crotch wich is what your going to do at work .I'm talking about tree removals work .not hanging out .your either spikeing up .setting line or spikeing up advancing one.rare occasions you can,set a line first. Unless you basal tie and just go for it then switch once ready .

I have Two The Milled Singing Tree quickie and Notch Quickie.

Cool tip thanks!

True, I do like the way you can use the friction chain almost like a friction cord. Take care!

Thank you!

It's a Silver Ivy. You should look into the Zigzag manual for other rope options and specs.

There is a old wound but it's callused. Holly Oaks are very strong.

Yes I have and I do like the Rope Wrench more.

Welcome!

Yes we made a video where we try it out in that way.

The Zigzag by itself is okay to use in an moving rope system but it you want to use it in a Stationary Rope System you need the chicane. Petzl created the chicane for that purpose. It's possible to use the rope wrench but not recommended by Petzl. You're welcome!

I made another video called ( How to climb a tree without a spliced eye on a single rope system) It explains how to do it in detail.

@@BinoH awesome!.. I’ll have to check that out!!… Great videos, thank you!

@@MrJump12k Please do.

@@BinoH Okay… just got done watching. Great method for use with the rope wrench set up you have. Do you know how to work something like this if I have a zig zag seeing as it is difficult to remove midline? Again, great videos! I have subscribed and continue my own climbing education.

Actually, …I guess I would have to take my zigzag all the way off the end of the rope for retrieval…. Any trick for this?

about 369 dollars.

It is used in the Stationary rope system it helps tend your friction hitch. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fbKVq6-Y3N6VpGw.html I explain it in this video.

No I haven't.

@@BinoH I haven't either but I hear that it's sweet

Ya ive never seen him at an actual jobsite. Just the local park trees or his front yard. Odd.

Either way not sure it really matters. This guy has given an abundance of useful, legitimate advice and tutorials.

Just a thought he may be past doing actual cutting work but has knowledge to impart. Olympic athletes do not get trained by active competitors and in fact often the coaches in anything were not the greats themselves. I make no claims to know the man or a thing about climbing either as that is not the issue at hand. Calling the guy out because he in your view isn't an active tree worker or something is back handed as he is instructing the steps and processes. The ideal place to do would not be a job sight really as his attention should be on the work at that point. I'd bet he makes enough doing the videos cutting work can be scaled back or stopped. I've benefitted from the content myself and appreciate the work he's doing.

Not pretend at all! Awesome video. His info on the Zig Zag and Chicane was spot on. I use them commercially. He admitted they were new to him in this video, give him a break. As he’s probably figured out by now, spare hand on the tail of the rope when rappelling for more control and shorten the bridge on SRS to more easily reach above the Chicane. Adjustable bridge shines here, cinch it up. Finally, get good with a Big Shot and have that highest line set in 90 seconds from the ground. Every time. Cheers, PNW
