More limb walking videos please
Great job on the video.
This type of instruction is pretty unique. I don't see a lot of pruning videos out there that would apply to large trees. You're explaining the limb walking techniques well.
Thanks for sharing.
great learning set up! It's very helpful being able to follow your movements close to the ground. Looking forward to this series
Very useful! Limb walking techniques along with lateral anchoring and such is the most challenging for me on trees. Please keep those coming!
Great demonstration the best I've seen in a long time
cant wait for part 2 :D
Thank you so much! Please share more tips this was very helpful how to navigate limb walking
What a great and useful video!
Excellent video on limb walking bro. Work positioning is a finesse skill that will save your energy and body in the long run. I'd love to climb that structure. I'm 43 and just made a career change into arboriculture. Climbing is glorious. Self awareness. Knowledge of your gear. Trusting your gear. Conquering fear on a daily basis. Then feeling free as a bird up there.
Great informative video.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thankyou guys!
Enjoyed the video. Very nice demonstration on limb walking using side of limbs instead of crawling on top. Sometimes we forget the technique and start climbing out on top of the limbs. Using a lanyard and moving on side of limbs is so easy and comfortable. Thanks for presentation.
its funny how instincts can be so wrong sometimes! You're welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
One of your very best videos thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great stuff man, Thanks for sharing your experience
Like the others have said, very helpful video. I need to get more comfortable with limb walking.
Great tips.
I learned a lot with the video, thanks
Glad to see you in my youtube feed!
Thank you for share your time
Thanks so much for taking the time to make this. I'll be climbing two very droopy elms in the next few months - new to both SRT and work positioning. It's quite apparent as I survey the trees that I will need at least one work positioning line. I look forward to Part 2+!
You're welcome, I hope it goes well for you!!
For safety sake, pls check out using two in one lanyards...
Great video!! About time one of you guys made a limb walking video. :)
haha, yes I've had this one in mind for some time!!!
More please! Great video
That 3 to 1 with the hand ascender and pulley is a brilliant idea, especially for SRT!
And you can do the same thing with just a carabiner if you set it up right 👌🏼👌🏼 I’ll have to show that trick in a later video
Great and useful video. Thx
Excellent advice, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
this is a solid video thanks man
Glad to hear it!!
Great video 👍
I like the horse in the background
Cool, should be interesting to see your presentation! Did the tunes.
Very useful. Many thanks! 👍🇺🇦
your welcome!
Great vid, i dont think ive ever seen anything like it. This information can only come from a man that has been through many big trees with some big tops. New climbers, and some old, need to see this. I feel like you could do more with this. Maybe large diameter limbs on steep angles far from your tie in. To elaborate on conserving energy, try to find a positions where you are minimally utilizing your core muscles to maintain your position and you will greatly improve your endurance when traversing throughout the tree tops. Especially on large trees with wide sprawling canopys.
For sure this is just the beginning of learning to navigate tricky limbs. There is a lot to it that can really only be learned through practice as well.
@@Stridertrees yo
Just what I was interested in. I have to set up two climb lines to do this safely, so this vid could not have come at a better time. I never thought of the "double wrap" thing on the lanyard set up - sometimes, it's the obvious things you don't think of. Thanks!
Two climb lines can be a great solution for tricky positioning I’ll frequently do just that
Awesome and informative video but I have a serious question... 8:25 at the left side of the screen. Who's horse is that XD
есть что извлечь полезного из вашего видео, спасибо друг!
I have climbing fever. I've been only climbing for about a year but I lack a lot of field experience. I went through a vocational training program for tree trimming/line clearance but I'm more interested in removals and residential than being in a bucket all day. Do you think limb walking SRT is way more unstable than DRT? Only asking because I feel that way. What's your opinion on that? I've even learned how to switch it over to a 3-1 haul back and it's still sketchy feeling. You look really stable on single rope limb walking. Should I just get use to it? I love asending using SRT vs hunching but I hate limb walking SRT.
I've climbed that same tree 😊
It’s a nice tree 🌳
3 2 1 technique is slick
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Where did you get that helmet at with the goggles???? Freind
Could you do video on twin line limb walk I'm apprentice and haven't learned srt yet
Yes I’ll do more videos involving moving rope systems as well.
How do you like that Edelrid X Chest compared to more traditional support suspenders? I’d love to try a fall support top like that. Have you ever used it to work from the bucket?
I like the chest X, but it's not quite as comfy as standard suspenders for holding up the saddle, but I don't know of any suspenders I can buy that would be rated for life support/ fall arrest like this is. I actually will put one more piece of webbing or thin line through the central ring with a small accessory biner on both sides to hold up my harness, and that makes it better. I don't work out of a bucket, but if I did I'd certainly use something like this so I wouldn't have to switch harnesses to climb out of the bucket into the tree.
@@Stridertrees Do you think you’ll work on getting the MegaWatt approved for ITCC comps? I’d love do use a descender for some competition events, but I don’t like the Rig and D4 compared to the stats of the MegaWatt.
@@treespicemedia I don't know who to approach to get it "officially approved" but it is already rated in the manufacturers documentation for use with up to 11.8 mm Static lines and it is approved both by CE and ANSI standards, so I can't think of a reason it would not be permitted.

Oh dang!!
I like the helmet you’re wearing can you share the brand and model?
I’m not a fan of it myself. I think it’s a Kask helmet. I just borrowed it because I didn’t want to bring mine on the airplane !
How would you limb walk if you had no branches above you for a high toe in point?
This works great if you have a solid tie in that's 40 or 50 feet above you. As you guys know, outside of TH-cam world, in the real world, that is not normally the case.
In large prunes, it is the case most of the time. But yes, this vid opened the door to more vids in some far more difficult scenarios which i hope he continues these with them. The professional tree climbing world needs to see these.
What kinda boots are those
Srt or mrs for limb walking long limbs? For king walking?
Tree Guys!
You better hope that 4x4 is in the tree with you there fella. Lol
How do you limb walk with one long branch and a not super high tie in point
It always depends on what you have around you, but there are various ways.
If only trees had posts bolted to them to use as footholds 😂🤘
Right?? Very handy in a tight spot 😂
It will be totally different if you are wearing the spike when you are doing the branch walking.
Indeed! Usually if I’m limb walking I’m not using spikes.
4:53 work positioning is all triangulation.
What chest harness do you use?
I have been using the Vector Chest X it’s PPE rated and integrates well with the TreeRex Harness I use
@Strider Trees looks light and nimble. Im using the edelrid right now and its sturdy but also kind of a pain to take on and off. Looking to upgrade. Thanks
It works better if you use small accessory carabiners in at least one front connection point to make it easier to take off, but yes it’s a bit cumbersome
Two Lanyards 😂😂😂😂
great tips Thanks,
What kind of boots are those
I’m a big fan of the Lowa Baffin Pro II very supportive, comfortable and BREATHABLE. No waterproofing on these just good old fashioned leather, on a boot with modern construction.
