Awesome setup there Tom, well thought out and really looking great. Thank you, Jim

That is an excellent strategy. Thank you for making this video. Hopefully you're still climbing and enjoying it.

I never stop loving this tool!

Thanks Tom, some awesome insights and concerns! Be Well

I was looking for something and came back across your video, had to watch it again because of all the "still good stuff" in it.

I like your style Tom, interesting setup

Excellent Video!! However, I'm a tech rescue guy and not at all familiar with tree work. I'm impressed with "Tree Guys" ability to ascend so I've been watching a lot of vids. Very cool. Thanks for sharing!!

great vid. Just bought the unicender and like like your advice. gunna have to try your method

Just found (and subscribed to) your channel! Good stuff! From one old fart to a self proclaimed one, keep climbing!!

Between you and Mr. Mumford, I almost know how to use the unicender now

I got the chance to meet Morgan in June at an SRT class. Really nice guy and well grounded. Of course after we saw all the cool R&D projects hanging from his harness that weekend he had to erase all our memories.

Good stuff Tom!

Tom, I'm not quite an "old fart" yet but, I'm getting there. I finally got a Unicender and have been watching all the videos I can find and just watched yours. I had forgotten about this type of setup. Adding in the Unicender looks like a brilliant idea. 👍 Thanks for taking the time to share this with us. Keep yourself safe! Randy

you could replace the saddle pulley with a Pulleybiner and reduce from 5 to 3'' and clean it up further. Nice job Tom

Hey Tom, finally got a chance to try climbing in a loop with the Uni. Nice setup, works great just like all your other ideas.

You're such a great ol' fart! Thanks for sharing.

I like your video, and the contents that you provide. I gave you a thumbs up. I do have a question though, can you do the same thing with a hitchhiker 2? And also what advantage does the unicender have over The Hitch-Hiker 2?

I climb SRS but that's a great idea

Wow...I think I'll try a zigzag lol

TOM, I am new to all this, learning from your videos for education purpose in order to be able to apply your methods on my NEW purchase of property that is 10 acres of trees. I plan to do some clearing myself, and so I am trying to learn the tree climbing, as well as the mechanical advantage stump pulling methods. For a newbie, where is a good starting point to know what type of rope and equipment is best to get as a beginner, without spending a fortune on things I can grow into. Do you have a video on the basics recommendations of rope (diam and length and type) as well as number of other components for mechanical advantage rigs. 5 to 1, and even a little higher. What is the meaning of bull rope, static rope, etc. Also I wanted to ask if you have done any video's on using a mechanical advantage rig attached to the bucket of your loader to pull small stumps straight UP out of the ground, rather than dragging method? Will it work similar? Thanks for advice, and for being such a good teacher for those of us who use youtube as a good source to become educated on things we know nothing about but want to learn! Appreciate your time and efforts, it is very educational! Thanks

Very cool. Been prusik for a long time just got the uni the open button on the omni would make me a little nervous of opening. But great vid

I probably missed it but would you tell me the knot used to tie into lower end of unicender?

Nice job! What saddle do you use? I’m shopping for one now. I ordered a weaver but they’re not responding. They took my money though

You are my hero 🤩

Hi Tom, I'm pretty new to tree climbing and very keen experimenting with both srt and drt. The question is, you think I can use my Petzl Zigzag using this idea with the prussik and the OmniBlock? Thank you.

Just picked up a unicender waiting on my new rope, so excited!! I would like to set up something like this, have you used the pinto in place of the omni block as that is what I have currently?

Nice system- a disadvantage I see is losing the ability to quicky re-crotch split-tail style. In other words if you had a small carabiner attaching to the bottom of the uni you could open the closed system faster, but slightly lengthen the minimum distance between your saddle bridge and the uni. i like the way it works, though.

What's a good size rope for the device. My 13mm rope doesn't move through the uniscender. I just got the device. Rope have only been used 3 times. The rope is very soft it's not a static rope

Hello Mr.Hoffman I was wondering what knot you used to tie in the Unicender I’m think a type of anchor knot? Thanks for the help and your videos! :)

Thanks Tom, I don't climb with a unascender, I still use a hitch climber. It would appear I could use the same set (with modifications) with my hitch climber. Have you ever beard of that being done?

That knot looks more like a scaffold knot than a buntline...

I have seen people modifying the uni with a type of friction plate on top with a pulley Mount? Climbing experience level: life......

why are you using a accessory biner on your non uni side? with this system it's supporting you as much as the uni

I wish I could afford a uni. alas, I climb on a prusik.

Bro are you wearing slippers?

Don't use that pulley. It can open really easy. Only pushing a bottom.
