Simple! But good.

Subscribed. Thanks for the content. Keep up the good work. BS'D

Very time consuming and tedious.

So what's the process for descending?

I’ll stick with my spurs thanks !

Brilliant. How long of a rope?

I. sorry but that's ridiculously slow.

awesome tutorial ! how would you belay and retrieve the top stick if from really high ?

Crazy, I remember watching this video here about 9 years ago, when I first started climbing. Didn't have a pot to piss in, just a 100 year old set of lineman's gear. Crazy how things turn out...

Cool idea, I am going to try it for placing tree stands. During scouting season I like to try different methods for accessing stand. Patience is the main virtue in hunting so this fits into my paradigm.

it's raininnnnnnnnggggggg

How do you get down? Do you tie off a long rope and basically rappel down?

I like this, nice and simple. Don't need to buy anything. But I would use more sticks. Because you would have to do it all again on the way down. Unless there is a faster way down not shown in this video.

Way too much info on screen interfering with watching the action. The text deletes the value of the visual!

Thanks for posting great view and what brand of rope is that red and black so cool.

you need to use traditional japanese if it's for touring.

Thanks for showing the technique. How long is the rope that you use? I'm interested in old methods as well as new methods. Old skills are lost unless they are shown to others. It's interesting to see how things were accomplished before all the modern equipment was developed.

GTF!!!

That was cool. Ty

Thanks!

thanks Rocky for the demo of traditional technique

I can't believe all the hate in the comments. This is something that people used before lanyards and saddles and SRT, DRT, DdRT, spikes, whatever. This guy is demonstrating how to get to the top of a tree with very short pieces of rope and a couple sticks, and half of you are hating on this guy! What's the point? He knows there are faster ways! He just wants people to see how they did it in 14th century Japan or whenever this technique was used.

おりるときどうなるのでしょうか。

I would have liked to see that from ground up maybe 4 or 5 steps I appreciate tradition There is another way to climb tree without spikes feed line around tree thru an eye down to foot stirrups do this2 times then raise one step up raise the other step up some like to have a strap around at knee height to control the step lines better ..... It's safer if you use a waist belt and lanyard around the tree up high

actually i see some practical use for this. as a certified arborist and aspiring tree climber, they say that if you are going to prune a tree then you are not alowed to use spikes because it would damage the tree. unless there is no other means of being able to climb the tree, or you can use the spikes if the tree happes to have really thick bark and the spikes would just not reach deep enough to harm the tree. however if climbing a tree that is too high for your throw ball to reach up to the first branch and there is no way to get a boom to the tree to lift a climber up to the first branch to set a rope, and if the bark is to thin and the tree would be damaged by spikes like litterally every single tree would be around where i live, then here is the alternative to climbing a tree with no low enough branches for your throw ball to reach. of course in most situations this would not be of practical means. how ever, here is a potenial solution.

That is really cool. Obviously not for modern daily use, but just really awesome. I don't know that I could calm myself enough to take the time to do this properly. Way to go!

Thanks - great to see people holding onto tradition. Sorry about the negative comments. Some people don't get that life isn't always about speed. Cheers from a Kiwi (New Zealand).

With a tree as big as the one in the video you can easily climb it with no equipment at all :O

Very natural way to climb a tree.

In fact we do not climb trees this way in daily operations. We use either SRT or DRT methods like everybody else. At the same time we thought it is worth learining traditional methods which is helpful when modern tools are not available.

Why do you still climb traditionally? Obviously its slower then spiking it... Or srt it....

0,2 trees a day. He has a hell of a job. Pffff

Neat! I'm going to try this!

A lil slow but great idea!!! Like you said tradition and the right circumstances!

us american need to show them how to climb a tree properly

Thanks Rocky Osaki for sharing this video on TH-cam. This could be very useful in quite a few different situations. You must ignore these people on here. Most are bratty little kids who never even get to see a tree in the forest because they never leave their bedrooms. Again thanks

Thanks Mole, this is the first comment ever which is positive. Normally we use either DRT or SRT to save time, but we believe old methods are worth knowing, especially when we do not have proper equipment.

o m g no wonder 1 bomb didnt work ur to dumb to realize ur tecnique sux and ur outmatched

someone needs to give that guy a throwbag

Always a good idea to know where you have come from. Thanks for sharing an ingeniouis, low tech, old techique. peace from Canada.

they do kamikaze... X^D

seems like prussiking

dont tell me im the only one that thought i was clicking on a video of a japanese tree climbing chair robot.... thats what it looked like

It did not take a half day but took quite some time to climb up 10 meters. I agree it takes too much time, and we do normally use DRT or SRT methods to climb trees, but knowing these techniques is handy in case we are out of modern equipment.

According to tradition, people used to go down in a sequese of downward inchworm movement. We rappel down in order to save time, of course.

how do you get back down?

I used to climb trees, Then I took an arrow to the knee

i've been climbing for 10 years and i'm yet to see a tree that has suffered significantly due to being spiked

@jeffrosamson so you climb trees?

wow, it must take your half the day to get up the bloody thing.
