Thanks B! You just made my day. Fr. Now I can get to the wood! Have been broke for a few months and jobs have piled up on me😞. But not now! Christmas for the family will go down without a hitch. Ugggggg!!!
Hey thanks for the video super simple yet safe. Ive been doing tree work for 7 months now and alot of times I feel like I'm being very unsafe using a single flip line and spurs. When I reposition myself going over limbs I have nothing but my arm over a limb to reposition. The 2 in 1 system is going to change my climbing. Thank you so much for the simple video! Stay safe up there
Are you climbing professionally? If you are looking for advice. Always aim for 2 tie in points dropping to 1 to reposition. I use a top line 3 point lanyard And a 3 meter spare lanyard can be helpful on limb walks and blocking down
i really like the buntline over the double fishermans for lanyards and my terminal knot. it is more streamline, uses less cordage, and is easier to untie
Nice video. Really enjoying some of your tutorials. At 2:30 when you tie on to the double locking snap, I think making that double fisherman onto the standing end of the same rope is called a poachers knot.
I’ve been working dialing in an new pruisik set up. I’ve used the positioned 2 for about 3 years. It’s fast and quickly adjustable. Now I climb slower and there’s no need for that added stress of potentially sliding back by accidentally knocking the sliding bar. Thank you sir
Hey Bino. I just received the rope and the snap hooks. Same rope as you spoke of. I ran a 15' line. I never used a double before. I had fun standing on the ground just playing with a couple small trees just thinking of all methods I could use them. They are dammed sweet. I really enjoyed being able to convert it into a short climbing line. Thank you, my friend.
@@BinoH By the way using a micro pully really is a game-changer. Prussic and rope nothing fancy is what I have always used. I remember when I was a kid 16 or 17 years old using pole cleats and pole harness and no rated snap hook. Releasing my lanyard holding on with hand and arm and working the lanyard up the tree. I think I am lucky to be alive. My badass saw "LOL" back then was a skill 14" I bought used. No safeties on that little saw. But that saw made me a boatload of money. Friends of the family had a flatbed trailer they gave to me and I built 2x4 walls and away I went. Now I could haul it away as well. 45 years later still playing in trees. I think I have monkey blood.
I legit was just thinking about making one of these. Decided to check TH-cam an came across your vid. No joke exactly how I'm gonna make mine..i ordered a couple things for it earlier today
I made my own thimbles. Used some schedule 80 pvc electrical pipe, heat it up with a heat gun until soft, Pressed ends with a mushroom shape drawer pull. Just need a dowel for the inside diameter to keep it from collapsing. Im just impatient and did not want to wait for amazon. Lol. But worked just fine in a pinch.
I just made a similar one myself. I chose to use a micro pulley to tend a Michoacán hitch instead, and also added a regular 3 wrap prussic with a rappel ring to use in a girth hitch configuration when needed. Good video per usual 👍 👍
I whipped my rigging lines & did this method on them with a heavy duty thimble. My rigging lines r different lengths depending on the situation. They r nice when it comes to attaching to my Maasdam rope puller. I attached a loop on the end of my Maasdam rope using the 3 strand splice with a heavy duty thimble to attach to a carabiner. Then I attach the carabiner to attach to the rigging eyes. Primarily on spars so I can control the felling direction. I plan on doing a 3 strand splice on both ends of a long Promaster 1/2" rigging line that I have left after setting up my Maasdam the way I like it.
Do any of your videos show how the rope is "whipped"? As a beginner, I'm interested in being able to make certain equipment like this lanyard. I'm still trying to figure all of the different types of ropes as well. Your videos help immensely. Your love of what you do is reflected here.
So simple and genius. I made a three point but with two knots, instead of rolls and it looks very complicated as much as it tends to get tangled very easily.
This video inspired me to make a 2 in 1 lanyard! I've been using it for the year I've been climbing and it works great! I omitted the micro pulley but have been considering trying that out as well. Thanks Bino!
I like the working end to be tight on the krab, that way when you pass it around the stem from hand to hand its right where you expect not flopping about. I've used double fisherman's knots before but at the moment my new favourite cheap fix is old inner tube as retention rubbers. But I currently only climb on a single lanyard so Im going have to try this out...Nice video Bino, thanks.
No it's better to only have one pulley because if you had to when you put weight on it the pulley will depress your friction hitch and your lanyard will run.
That is really well done. Very clear. I appreciated it. I may be wrong, but I think that your "double fisherman's knots" are "fisherman's knots." I think that a "double fisherman" knot is used to join two ropes (or two ends of one rope)...two of them are placed back-to-back. Your termination knots are (to me) not "double." Anyway...very good job.
Thank you, I way I learned it is that the knot that connects to your carabiner is called a Double Fisherman's Knot also known as a Scaffold Knot. The Double Fisherman's Bend also known as a Grapevine Knot is the one that connects two ropes together. They are both a variation of the same knot. Take care!
@ Bino H Thanks for the great videos!!. I've been trying to find those plastic thimbles.....no luck. Where do you get those? I think they are a great idea for reducing wear on the rope. Thanks :)
Are you sure that hitch cord is 10mm? I've only seen 10mm Ocean in red, and 8mm in green. The reason I ask is that I threw together a 2 in 1 with stuff I already had (after watching your video) using 11mm Yale Bandit and 8mm Ocean cord, but it bound up really tight a few times. Too tight to move without manually loosening the prusik...I'm going to try 10mm hitch cord next (as soon as I can get my hands on some) and see if that helps. Awesome video, as always. You always simplify concepts that seemed complicated to me before watching your take on them. Thank you!
What is or are the sources of your supplies. I am a retired SWBT lineman since 2002. The climbing methods and equipment now available fill me with envy.
Very nice. I sure would have liked you using it in action slow enough where I can see it working. Too brief in the beginning to see what you are doing and how it works. Thanks for posting. Very nice rig
I want to make one so I have a 2nd lanyard with me. Which one of these two ropes I own would make a better positioning lanyard? 7/16* Mercury Blue which is kinda stiff or 9/16* Atlas which is more plyable and easier to tie knots in.
The ropes used have to be rated for climbing. There are different ropes used for lanyards such as Three strand, wire core and different diameters of climbing lines.
Not really, You can use normal climbing rope to make a lanyard however its a good idea to climb with a wire core lanyard instead of normal climbing rope. If you're using saws while climbing you have more peace of mind with that metal core. The only problem with wire core is that i dont think you can make a 2 in 1 out of it due to the stiffness and the prusik not sliding well on it. I could be mistaken on that im sure Bino H could clear that up. As for the diameter/sizing, it doesn't really matter it's more a preference as long as the rope is rated for climbing you're good to go.
@@chaseaspen8904 I have never tried using a wire core for a 2 n 1 lanyard. I would use a wire core on removing a tree but I like regular climbing rope while climbing.
Where can I buy the locking carabiners or carabiners in general good ones just planing for home use trimming my tree 🌳 I have 2 and 1, 14 foot Mexican Palm .
Could you possibly do a video on creating a climbing harness out of rope? If not, can anyone tell me what this would be called so I might find it? I really love all your videos...they have caught me so much, in such a detailed manner that I am confident that what I've watched and learned is complete and thorough. Thank you so much... I want to be in trees more than anything but sadly can't afford or find a job doing it here in the Atlanta, GA area
One of my earlier videos was making an emergency saddle using a Bowline on a Bight. Not at all comfortable. It is something that you would use in an emergency.
Get proper training first!!!! His videos are good, but they are for arborist. Yes you can TH-cam others knowledge, but all it takes is one simple mistake/misdirection and your done for!
Hello Bino, Its me again the annoying guy with all of those questions =D How would you retrieve something out of the very top in canopy of a tree? since you cant climb up that far right? Thanks for your answer =)
Neil D some call it a super squeeze. Mostly used in pole climbing or palm trees. For guys used to tree work with open flip lines it’s foreign. I do my trick when high on a skinny top. Locks your flip in place so you can’t rotate around or slide down.
@@neild7971 it's a friction saver but could also be used as a tie in point, I'm from cali and we do 100ft+ palms every other day so it's a great investment, it could save your life
@BinoH No problem! I've got stuff on the way to build one just like it as well as your adjustable friction saver. Ironically I was able to shop around and get the stuff for the friction saver cheaper than buying an adjustable one.
Hi you spend a lot of money for hardware ...and a lot of time for videos ...i have the same hardware from 20 years ...and if i have to work in the wood ..to cut tree ..dont have time to do videos for make a lot of wood ...instead the Boss catch me at home ...God save you
Awesome... Thank you this is by far the simplest and most concise video on what is an expensive piece of equipment. Looking forward to seeing others.

If I don't have those double locking clips can I use Carabiners instead? Any safety concerns with making that change?
There shouldn't be any safety concerns as long as the carabiners are double locking a rated.

Is it ok to use D carabiner at both side?
Instead of the clips? Yes It's it's you preference.
Are there any sort of thimble I could use to install a triple action swivel snap in the same fashion?
You might check to see if a half inch plastic thimble will work. I have not tried that yet.
I don't know where to get the ocean cord. Is this from a marine supply, or from an arborist supply ?
I bought it a Bishop Company. bishco.com
Nice video! Thanks for sharing. What is the approximate cost to make your homemade lanyard?
I already had the 2 locking clips so I spent about $80 dollars for other pieces. Thank you.

What about a Distel hitch , micro pulley and 1 carabiner
Sure if that is what you like but the Distel works in one direction.
Good video 👍🏼
Can u run 2 micro pullies one on each side of the prusik
Yes, but just adds a bigger pricetag. Most use it on the tighten side, because with 2 fingers you can loosen 😊
It's better to have one pulley and move it to the side you want to tend on.
Wouldn’t that pose a risk to tend you in reverse all the way back to the other snap?
It will release the prussik
Can you make a video on how to make a tree squeeze
What is a tree squeeze? Base anchor? Cambium/friction saver?
Just put a carabiner on both sides of the lanyard between you and the tree. The more you pull the tighter it gets squeezed against the tree.
Neil D some call it a super squeeze. Mostly used in pole climbing or palm trees. For guys used to tree work with open flip lines it’s foreign. I do my trick when high on a skinny top. Locks your flip in place so you can’t rotate around or slide down.
I have not used a Tree Squeeze yet but if I get one I would work on a video.
@@neild7971 it's a friction saver but could also be used as a tie in point, I'm from cali and we do 100ft+ palms every other day so it's a great investment, it could save your life
Appreciate it
Thank you!
Wouldn't putting a micro pulley on each side of the prussic work
The reason I have the pulley on one side at a time is so it won't run on me when I lean back.
Good thenk you
nice video. subbed your channel
I'm glad you liked. Thank you.
