    Good stuff Reg, thanks for sharing some of the thoughts that went into this design. I already have a DMM Captain in a dedicated bag with 45 feet of rope, progress capture and 3-to-1 mechanical advantage, but I usually only bring that up for longer traverses. I think I'll get a RC Grapple to use with my lanyard for more everyday or opportunistic use, as this one seems way more practical and sleek to keep on the harness than the Captain. Should also be better for congested conifers as you mentioned, which we also have a lot of here. Cheers from Norway.

    I really didn't know how useful a grappling hook was mate, until I started working in New Zealand, it is just mental how much more effective you can be in the canopy or canopies, your production go up by alot mate.
    Everyone has a captain hook in my crew but I never was fan on the design of the captain hook, but man, you nailed it with that slick design mate, love it, I'm getting it! and please Reg do the follow up video on you using it. Cheers!

    Reg, your resourcefulness and ingenuity is what makes you such a legend! I climb skinny trees to get high in fat trees and straight trees to deal with crooked ones😆 I don't use grapples every day but when I do use them they become a cheat code. Your design is well thought out and I knew right when I saw it that it would replace my other grapple. I never rec climb but I am so excited to try it out, I will be tree hunting this weekend. Can't wait for some epic traversing!

    Reg thanks for the clarity. Cool looking hook for conifers esp. In your next video documenting canopy travels sideways, could you comment on progress capture rigs you like for 10 mm lines please? Ive used prussiks (had to cut one glued up one off in the air no less due to sap), tried Petzl Zillon (on Tachyon but you're right the line is too big and heavy, at least for me, to huck around), and have gone back to 8 mm ocean prussik with a shorty tether and a wrench on the 10 mm Sirius. This part of the throw rigs isn't discussed as much. Your insights would be appreciated. Cheers guy

    Most excellent, most of my career climbing, I used a 8’ pole pruner , ( I was limited to the length of the tool to where I wanted to go ) at that time, movement through canopy at time , was less I was learned .. but using a hook was so much better a few extra feet more efficient.. looks like a great tool for the New climbers with better more efficient, climbing tools.

    I have a hook just like the old one I've seen you use and I've been waiting for years to find where I can buy another one exactly like it. I figure I'm going to have to fabricate another one myself. I love using a grappling hook. Definitely an every day carry item. I might try this one. Those captain hooks never looked like something I wanted to try.

  • @hcwaffles8912
    @hcwaffles8912 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I wish it had a slick pin to attach the rope/dog bone sling to so that way you can attach the spliced eye straight to the hook in the tree and detach it and that way theres no carabiner in the system to get caught on anything on retrieval but you can still use your lanyard as a rope for it

  • @robhood
    @robhood หลายเดือนก่อน

    I run a 30' lanyard in a small bag, would you recommend against using this on the lanyard's working end? Maybe the tail (making a long 2 in 1 to still be able to lanyard in quickly), or would it best be suited as a stand alone system?

    • @Recoates
      @Recoates  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      If your lanyard is long enough for the task, and your technique is safe, then why not.

      Thanks mate, it's treework that supports me.....I've been given a life sentence of it. It's a different tool than the captain. I respectfully highlighted the differences in the video, but without actually saying it. Buy one if you think you'll gain an advantage. If not, stay with the captain.

      You are not going to break it. But essentially it is an accessory. As with any grapple hook they are not a closed system, so should not be used or thought of as life support.
