poorboy here starting out…..i can’t tell you how much i’ve learned watching you videos….very much appreciated that you take the time to make ‘em to teach beginners….thank you again man
I was looking to make the same thing when I first started out and never thought to tie the prusik like that. I swear every time you show how to tie friction hitches I realize how much I over complicate it in my head haha. Thanks for the solid video!
Thank you Bino, I actually bought a lanyard like that from a tree supply store on line, but then saw your previous lanyard video and made that one instead, only have the other for a back up!
most excellent ! the answer to a question for a climber that only has a limited budget or gear .. thanks to many years of experience and sharing your knowledge plus amazing experience ..
Hi Bino. Got BH lock up on descent today. Great learning experience. It was a new rope that had a slight bit of milk in it. Plus my BH tender tail was pulling on the hitch just slightly. Great to hear your input on this. Especially tricks how to release line tension while in free hanging descent. Cheers to u Tree Angel.
i was watching a hunting safety video where a guy was saying to keep yourself closer to the tree never more than 16” chest to tree , that’s not how i was taught, i’m a retired climber and i still climb at my farm doing my own topping and pruning, felling etc , and im like this dude is gonna kill somebody 😮 i was taught a little further than 16” chest to tree , i was always taught back in the day to always spend more money on your rope , never be afraid to add half hitches , good stopper knots , inspect your ropes/ gear constantly and most of all when you are belt climbing to keep your toes out , lean back hard and trust your gear , now i know i made the same mistakes most dudes do when they start climbing, i didn’t trust my gear and my legs were jello , and i was hugging too much, when i leaned back , enjoyed the ride and trusted my gear it was less stress on my legs, back shoulders and i didn’t get tuckered out as fast , this guy was teaching folks to climb almost straight up and down , i could see if you were in a pacific northwest lumberjack competition running up trunks 😊 but for safety and comfort i believe you have to lean back a little and trust your gear
@@BinoH i didn’t say anything to the guy, i’m not a teacher but i’ve been climbing for a long time, 40 years and my mentor told me if i get good rope and good gear to spend time before every climb to inspect my ropes and gear and he used toes out ass back and trust your gear , the times i spiked out my angles were wrong , when i just started climbing my legs were wobbly and i was scared to trust my gear but when i realized my gear was a lot stronger than me i started leaning back harder and i was digging in better , this guy im talking about was trying to teach spurring up trees for saddle hunting, i almost thought he was joking by telling folks to be no more than 16” to your chest , now that i’ve been climbing for years im more nervous about leaning in to flip my line than i am leaning out . i hope this guy learns the right way without winning a darwin award first 😄
Love your Vids! so much knowledge! Could you get a shorter piece and make an eye to eye for your prusik? do Prusik cords have to be smaller in diameter?
Interesting presentation. Inevitably the knot would end up binding up on a tree or branch, impracticable and even dangerous in certain applications, especially if quick adjustment is necessary. In fact in your last demo it was riding up against the branch. It might be helpful to mention the possibility of that occurring. Also there is friction in the biner that the lanyard loops through and of the “moving” rope on the bark, something to consider. Even a “back-up” has to be safe. regards
This is not dangerous. I essentially made a floating prussik lanyard. Floating prussik lanyards have been used in tree care for more than 30 and are still sold in arborist supply today. The carabiner is tied with a termination knot that holds it in place and the double locking clip is on the friction side. There is know way this would rub the bark when you adjust because you need to lift it off the bark when you adjust. You might try looking up floating prussik lanyard in arborist supply companies. Take care!
Awesome, it seems that I have not seen ‘floating prussic knot” lanyards like yours for sale in major outlets- , where the knot is in variable positions depending on girth of tree one is climbing, in fact anywhere. But hey - I love standing corrected…it is like rolfing, painful but good! haha. In my experience- anytime the controlling friction knot or device is not in a “static” place, right of your harness for a positioning lanyard it invites challenges. But enough of that. Safe, productive and profitable spring climbing days to you! regards
Hi Bino, in lieu of the tying the double fisherman on the tail end of the Prusik, is there a Knot that you could recommend tying directly to the working end of the prusik so as to make it impossible for the fisherman (stop Knot) to slip thru the Prusik? Your insight and thoughts would be much appreciated! Ty!
Hi Bino H, can you Please elaborate on your safety Harness and why do you used this one in depth , beccause there is a zillions to buy from. cheers Haans.
I have a rope I use at work that is 16mm for pulling heavy stuff up to a roof without the rope digging into my hands. I also use it for work positioning with a mechanical adjuster that is made for 16mm rope. If I wanted to make an LT knot for it instead what rope size and type would work best?
That will definitely keep you connected to the tree but what if you need to cut yourself out in an emergency. You would be stuck to the piece you're connected to.
Reaching around the tree to tend slack doesn’t sound fun lol. Why not just cut a piece of rope and make a split tail on one D and the carabiner on the other like a mini closed system w Blake’s hitch. Then u also have your hitch in view at all times.
A 20 ft lanyard with a swivel pulley tender prusik and binders is now less then 200 bucks. As an owner of a backyard rope access company I’ll give the new hired climbers a gear stipend the first month for the gear they always wanted. Even if they only last a month I sleep well knowing there just that much safer working for whoever is after me. Good video but please just spend the money on the corect company tested gear. Much love all stay safe up there.
@@BinoH Oh, you've mentioned that, I confused it with the length being 11 1/2… and that converted to cm would be weird. Thank you for the reply Bino. :)
4:39 I think the option to secure the prusik by an double fisherman stopper knot, is not safe at all: O.k. the prusik cant come undone under load. But between climbs the prusik can get looser and than the end knot just slips through. Also I cant see why you dont tie the end with a thight loop to the rope going into the prusik (not the one the prusik is riding on, obviously). This knot would be a lot safer: working as a stopper knot and as a loop knot at the same time.
The pursik hitch is the same set up as a Blake's or Taught line and you would use a figure 8 as a stopper. Not much difference between a figure 8 and a Fisherman's stopper knot. When you are using a lanyard it is a secondary and it is under tension when you are using it. As I mentioned in the video if a 4 wrap prusik would slid then an option would be a 6 wrap. Any time you climb you should always manage your hitches making sure you are secure.
@@BinoH I agree: there is not much difference between a figure eight and a Fishermans stopper knot. Thats why I oppose for this situation any kind of stopper knot and instead suggest something like a bowline. Quote: "As I mentioned in the video if a 4 wrap prusik would slid then an option would be a 6 wrap." I trust a working prusik and I do not fear that it could slip: I think there is a possibility that the knot completely unties itself. So 4 or 6 makes no difference in this case. Quote:" Any time you climb you should always manage your hitches making sure you are secure." No. Totally wrong. If you have secure knots, you only have to make sure, that the rope is not damaged. If I climb, I do not check between routes, that the knots did not untied itself: you MUST use knots that are 100% secure. Because your life depends on it. And a stopper knot can always run through. Not while being on tension. But in moments without tension. Quote: "When you are using a lanyard it is a secondary and it is under tension when you are using it." ??? This might be a language problem, I am not a native speaker: but what is wrong with having a secondary, additional safety option? A bowtie, that serves as a stopper knot and in addition prevents The stopper knot from slipping through the prusik by attaching the end to the incoming rope. And if its a secondary, how can it be under tension than? And what would be even the problem if it would be under tension? The stopper knot is also under tension. I dont know: maybe once you go public (on youtube) with an idea, than you feel the need to defend your idea, instead of being open for suggestions.
@@scheisstag Hold on a second I don't need to defend anything on this video. What I displayed is a 4 wrapped prussik that was tied dressed and set with a double fishermans stopper knot in a looped lanyard situation and when under tentision did not slide or come undone and when I took my weight off and put weight back on the prussik was still intact with no slipping or coming undone. It seems to me that you are trying to make a comment of something that did not happen on the video.
@@BinoH Quote: "Hold on a second I dont need to defend anything on this video." I am a certified climbing instructor. But my viewpoint is not that everybody needs to book a course and needs to have a degree in safe climbing. I started as an autodidact in climbing. I learned a lot from youtube. But to make this possibility safe for all beginners the community has to assure, that the clips uploaded show safe practices. And yes: out of this perspective I say: you not only should be able to defend the practice you chose to teach online.

And you chose a knot, that needs constant checking. And a knot,that needs checking is dangerous in itself, even if the knot is for single, instant use right after tying it. But even more, if you use at as part of a set up system, that in reality is not checked part for part every time. And I made the experience, that people, who are unable to back up their decision with arguments still insist on being right. Just because it hurts so bad to agree into a mistake.
@@BinoH seriously cant imagine you working in trees crown, or even getting up There. Most arborist, industrial,activist or even sports climber I know have not that of a paunch. I would be very immobile in the tree/bridge/wall 🤨
You keep saying a double fisherman's knot. Yet you're only tying a single or a fishermans knot. I can't watch anymore of your vids it's diving me knots. And learn what a Granny knot is too. It's not an overhand knot.
“Forgot your lanyard🤯🤬. If this is the case u should hang up your gear and go mow lawns🤬🤬🤬🤬. Get off my crew. Show up with all of your best life supporting gear every day as if your life and mine depend on it. I appreciate what the puzzle your salving but this said charge more for your Honda so u can afford better gear. It streamlines everything. 20 years backyard rope access bty.

Sure we've made a video on it here it is. th-cam.com/video/apcqGofhSNs/w-d-xo.html
How does that system work when the rope is wet ? Like from a rain storm? Thanks. Great video!👍😁

Yes it's a tree climbing saddle. Buckingham master 5.0
Thank you
You're welcome!
Super i
Thank you!
I know a guy here in the Philippines that uses a 5/16 chain when he climbs the trees said he doesn't trust the rope.😮
That will definitely keep you connected to the tree but what if you need to cut yourself out in an emergency. You would be stuck to the piece you're connected to.
What kind of clip is that? Do you have a link for it?
bishco.com/steel-hand-line-snap-gold/ There are also other clips or snaps at Bishop company. Hope this helps.
what size rope would be good for me at 140 lbs?
Any rated tree climbing rope will work but it is more of what your preference is.
Hey if the 4 loop slipped can I use a 6 loop prusik?
Yes you can or you might try making better lanyard. We've made lanyards with prusik cords. Check our videos on making lanyards.
What’s the ideal rope gauge?
11.5mm to 1/2 inch. It depends on your preference.
How strong is that rope? When you do videos please tell how strong the rope is?
This one is rated a 5,800 pounds.
How thick (dia) is that rope.
This one is a 1/2 inch.
Bino, just wondering how you promote your videos? 10,000 in first 4 days is impressive.
Thank you! I will contact you.

The one I made the lanyard with is a 13mm but you could also use 11.7 or 11.5 mm. as long as it is a rated climbing rope.
needs to be POV
Must work at asplundh.....where u have to home make ur tools cause u can't get any lol
