Thanks for posting, tho I was hoping for some comment at the end to summarize how the RRP felt.
(Maybe there was more throughout vid, but 26 minutes was getting long)
Climbing on tiny trees is almost always a pain. Some species that small and your spikes just peel down it lol.
Why choose to climb on a choked biner? You're obviously not a novice SRT climber, so it's safe to assume that you're well versed in other options. Sure, you're not going to die, but it is poor practice...
VaTreeGuy thanks for the comment. climbing on a choked Biner is an option. Poor practice is a bit much because exceeding 9kN of force during this climb would’ve taken some remarkable act of God. I am curious to know why you think it’s poor practice.
VaTreeGuy also is there anything else you noticed during this climb. Let me know you seem like a very knowledgeable person.
I actually had to stop watching at about the 2&1/2 minute mark, after you made a one handed cut without a second point of attachment. Choking on a biner can put pressure on the gate, and although it's very unlikely to fail, it can easily be tweaked, and bark can get jammed in there preventing it from functioning properly. I prefer the speed of a midline attachment, and some options better than just cinching a bowline would be a quickie, delta link or pinto cinch. If you're dead set on the ease and simplicity of choking a biner, upgrading to one with an "ANSI gate" would be prudent. I know that both Petzl and DMM make good ones.
VaTreeGuy thank you for the correspondence. The ease of that connection is better suited with a ANSI gate, I agree. Why did you say ANSI in quotes? The one handed cut, yes that is a fault and am working on eliminating that practice I believe that in itself is poor practice but in my defense that wasn’t the case for every cut. I’m not perfect but appreciate you pointing that out. Either way I’m on a learning journey and part of the reason why I started my channel. Also, for folks like you to extend their opinions suggestions and the overall circulation of knowledge.
I don't know if "ANSI gate" is exactly what those kind of biners is referred to as... Heavy gate? But you know the ones I'm taking about. I'm sure each manufacturer has a name specific to their model.
Lots of us have bad habits were working back from... Being conscious of them, is really the first step. I'm still constantly fighting lazy thumbs, not completely wrapped around the handles, and I'd be a liar if I told you that I don't one hand on occasion. Sometimes, a very rarely at that, it's the best option. With all of the different ways we have to configure our gear though, I realized that a lot of my laziness and relying on poor practice, stemmed from poor positioning. When I started utilizing my lower D's for my flipline more, I found that I could get into much better work positions, and it was much easier to focus on full and proper control of the saw. Even more so when I started running an SRT capable system for a flipline adjuster. At this point, I'd say that half or more times that I install a flipline, it's either from my lower D's or SRT from my second bridge. I've retrained myself to look for the *best* work positions, because the options available are virtually endless.
I can't say why, but it's so relaxing to watch a professional cut down a tree. It's almost like meditation.i can almost feel the smell of fresh wood.
Thanks for the compliment.
I got both RRP and Akimbo and in my opinion the RRP is more secure when it comes to creep ...I might be wrong but there's 3 points of friction rather the akimbo with 2.. any one else? Great job on the climb
No your not wrong. That’s a fact. The akimbo only needs the perfect rope that’s works with you. Maybe the KMIII might work well with it. That rope has a thick diameter and seems like it will resist flattening. I say that in response to the creep issue. Thanks for the comments brother !
That slip!!!!! Oh don't we all love a good slip!!!!!
Yeah buddy!!
seemed like your handsaw could have been working better for you. If it is not a Silkie, you might like one of those.
RR2 looks awesome but definitely some improves identified throughout this video.
Agreed!
Straight up talented climber.
thank you
Cordial saludo desde Cali la sucursal del cielo.
Eres mi buen maestro.
Dios te guarde amigo Lupillo
Saludos y bienvenido a mi canal de TH-cam. Yo no soy Lupillo, me llamo Jose
Love the video.whay Stihl t model saw is that???I just ordered my rrp can't wait to start climbing like this!!!💚🌳💚🌳💚🌳💚🌳👊👍
Are those knee pads? Haha I've never seen that but seems like a good idea. Thanks for sharing
William Cirigliano yeah man. If you bump your knees around in the tree. You begin to swing around less or whatever your doing. So being able to bang them up without any pain makes for a better climb. Kind of like wearing gloves. But you can always wear some chainsaw protective pants for climbing and that will act the same way.
Great work. But u need to drop your ISO on your camera to 50 iso or 100. It's too much light gown. through that lens .
Great video brother
Thumbs up !!!!
Thanks Poplar Mechanic, climb safe brotha!!
@@chtclimbing you too my friend, just got my rr pro
Poplar Mechanic you’re going to love it.
Nice video buddy what kind of rope are you climbing on
That’s the dragon fly by teufelberger
The right one...
@@TreeCutterDoug I'm guessing this is your preference?
I've recommended Fly with the Runner so much, for so long and so strongly, that 🐢🍔 really owes me a hank by now.
VaTreeGuy that’s hilarious how you used those emojis
