Same guy used to call us snowflakes for the safety lines.
Fun fact the woo woo woo slowed the falling man down
better to not fall than fall slowly though 🤷♀️
“WOAH WOAH WOAH WOAH!”
Is ubiquitous amidst nearly any human endeavor involving potentially catastrophic consequences or damages. It’s just a fact of nature at this point go ahead name some it’s fun.
Trees, dogs, horses, guns, vehicles, equipment, tools, food, liquor, drugs, fireworks, fistfights, we use that for everything.
I’ve had so much grief on insta for pointing this out, a back up system takes 2 mins but prevents so much pain and paper work!
And there are systems even simpler than this… I’ll have to do another video here soon.
A second adjustable lanyard on your centre D ring is an effective cinching method. Works similar to the friction saver system and its rather comfortable
Can you make a video, specifically about this? Like how you set it up, and what you used? For us newer guys? Thanks
Its a ring cinch. The guy that fell knew he was dropping a big top, he was just being cocky. He shouldve tied on a reduntant line and didnt. That was 100% his fault.
Honestly they guy cutting should not have been taking it that big. He should have been in the top of the tree. Period. He was being lazy and it almost cost him his life
You can also climb srt and use a running bowline around the trunk, and it will serve the same purpose.
I don't like a bowline for life support personally but agree SRT with any kind of cinching Anker is preferable for me.
Having your Lifeline singed around the tree also helps to prevent that in the video it appears he didn't do that he only had his Flipline around the tree which is also an OSHA violation you're supposed to be double tide in at all times when using a chainsaw
I don't think your bridge is long enough. Haha, love ya dude.
IF YOU'LL NOTICE....
...YOU CANT REACH THE FKING TREE😂😂😂
There are better ways my friend. There are better ways 😂
I thought he was just showing off😂
Hey Bro!
I think you’re exactly right. This guy was a pole dancer in his former life.
first to pop the top and climb down to drop it wins
Buckingham makes one with same concept , it's called the tree squeeze. In my experience it's best used for straight spars like pine and spruce
I’m using one with a friction saver on top as well. Two points of attachment that both have the same concept
I have one they are extremely over priced like all Buckingham tools but other then that its great
Let's not make it too complicated now. Wrap your buck strap around the tree twice problem solved.
Or just know what you're doing and don't have somebody pulling on it with the truck as hard as they can too many people just think they can do tree work
Great short demonstration.. it's nice with the clip of the bad example to see.. I was taught 4" separation between the rings is ideal- ya want some separation between them for better cinch.
2 wraps works as well with no extra gear
2 wraps does work, but the video is addressing ANSI guidance. ANSI states that you need to be attached by two separate systems at least one of which must be self clinching.
Yeah but I don't want 20 ft of buck strap hanging off of me
Was just about to say this. If I’m doing a particularly smooth tree with very few branches I’ll just double wrap my rope.
I'm a new climber, isn't the two wraps self cinching?
That's what I used to do double wrap my landyard
Would deffo have a stopper on that cinch line, if that rubs the trunk on the way down before it loads, same end of story
I just put up a rope grab situation with the exact same method that you're using and every other company is selling you did a great job you always do a great job I wish there was more people on the planet that took a lot more time to look at your videos to find out the real answers to a free evaluated actual truthful scenarios that you provide...
Remember I am one of the specialists in studying in fixating on things until they are completely unthinkable anymore
I'm pretty sure you know me though and I just wanted to give you the props that you rightfully deserve....
Are those carabiners used to hold the your vest to your saddle?
You should have a figure 8 knot at the end of your tree squeeze for safety
excellent idea and I'm actually making one of these for saddle hunting. I've done tree work for a long time and my brother runs a business in Ohio and I actually would just double wrap my safety to lock me in. I've had the same thing almost happen but my safety grabbed. but I know someone who actually rode the tree down and left the spike stub and it caught him in the armpit and messed him up really bad. had to have some of those chest muscle removed and placed into his armpit. be safe out there guys!
Would you be kind enough to share this with me…. I’d love to see it ….I’m a new Saddle Hunt Hunter and I would like to Have something like this set up on my lineman’s belt as well
Fancy name for a choker
I use it with a Zig Zag and a USaver pulley saver. Works like a dream and its retrievable. Can be setup different ways as needed, used like a double lanyard, used for work positioning, used to repel.
I just cinch my line around the trunk. Personally though, I don’t like being tied into just a spar with only lanyard for any length of time. I’ll use the cinching system even when ascending and just advance the climb line up with my lanyard. That way in the event that you gaff out or maybe need to bail real quick, you can quickly tighten the cinched climb line and it will support you / prevent you from sliding down the spar
DRT?
I use Snake eye 👍
Was literally about to climb a couple spars a company left behind. Throw a rope up top and just spike back down with a drt and carabiner around the tree as backup to the lanyard. Will definitely just be buying one of these.
If we are talking safety standards.....just curious why the cinching anchor/rope doesn't require a safety stopper knot tied in the running end to prevent the prusik from accidentally coming off the end?
Looks like an AFC. You can set these befote you climb by throwing a throwball up where you want it. Its pretty handy.
You can do this with any rope or flipline just clip it back to itself especially when taking a big top That guy got lucky....
Hello 👋 .. is that a 60 inch (five feet) adjustable friction saver .. BTW .. interesting video 👍
To be fair, he knew he was dropping a big top with a lot of tension, he shouldve tied oj a second line. That was just stupidity that allowed him to fall. Cocky climbers learn the hard way.
Are you just running your climb line through a friction saver? (Or an adjustable one) I can't tell exactly.
Your pretty limited to the size of the tree with your system unless you have longer lanyards. Your prusick is almost bottomed out and the tree isn't very big attal 💁♂️
That’s why you tie up you climbing line along side your flip. I’ve taken hits like that and not gaffed out so I really don’t think he was prepared for that
If you use a carabiner on the prusik side you can advance the system a lot easier.
Where do you clip it
Instead of using the ring on the prusik used a carabiner so you can use a second flip line and advance above limbs
Buckingham makes these they are called a tree squeeze I love mine it makes climbing safer but nowadays I just use a steel core with a srt line backup underneath
You trust a friction hitch with your life? Even us rock climbers don’t do that, we only use them as backups or for utility in systems.
You could just wrap your rope around a second time if climbing drt, then you don't need to buy this extra piece of equipment ;) you cant abseil down after but it will do exactly the same thung if you fall
I get what you're saying but you got way too much length in your system so it's hard to take you serious? Put a chainsaw in your hands, then show me if want to convince me?
I think the problem is your harness. The rope bridge on the front of your harness is adding unnecessary distance.
can u list the ropes and equipment we need to buy ? all yıur gears ropes exupment on yıu in this video? can you write the list please. i want to buy a full equipment i need to climb. including harness rope karabiens etc. pls thnx
He won't fall but don't give him a saw if he thinks gear would have saved that guy
Blake hitch climbing knot is the oldest and best way sorry but this is a fact ❤
Simple other solution, flip line figure 8 configuration, right hip to left hand around tree to right hand attached to left hip... especially in small stuff. Not to mention rope in second tie in for cutting...
I still use a Blakes hitch when I’m climbing with my spurs for safety and roped around the tree
I use a secondary on my center line at all times just a simple choker that I adjust on a Blake's hitch. No need for a complicated setup.
But I like what you're doing it's like a lineman's rig.
Do you mean drt with a climbline and blakes ,?,,or with add on...
The similar design of most powerline synch squeezing belts I’ve seen minus the pole teeth grips. I Think it’s crazy how much synch belts are overlooked considering they will most times hold you relatively exactly where you would’ve been spurring down. Great video to bring awareness especially for younger people getting into climbing.
Do you have a link for that sir

That exact setup won’t allow him to be forward enough to make his cuts.
Everyone I climb with: just use the flip line, you'll be fine
Me: 🤔
I climbed 20 years ago and you guys look like Power Rangers now.
Is that a rock climbing helmet?
We used a "Blake's hitch" on the tail of our climbing rope for repelling. No carabiner in sight.
"No School like the Old School". I haven't climbed in close to twenty years now myself and I'm always intrigued and fascinated by all the fancy new gear and how complicated they seem to make everything nowadays.
We have to use andjustable friction savers when we climb. They are worth the hassle!
I thought u weren’t supposed to do triangles or is that just rock climbing
Dude probably quit after that incident.
Seems to be a similar idea to the Buckingham super squeeze that we use on power poles.
Looks like the same principle.
In Germany you say "Hanse Sicherung" smarter and shorter the system :) o
Why not clip on to that one once your up the tree instead of using it as you climb. Like before you make that big cut.
That's great if you don't have any branches on the tree
Shouldn't have taken so much out at one time. Lazy and unsafe.
Double wrap your flip line and you don’t have that issue
So my sterling cambium saver would work too
I bet the palm tree guy had this rig
Or just not have a bunch of tension on top you’re pulling , obviously lol
Say it before it happened ok not after the accident is easy to say ha you should have done this and that...😮
we're can you get one At. I've called several supply companies and they don't know what I'm talking about??? please help
Here is a link on Amazon, but it can be found at a number of arborist supply websites for near the same price amzn.to/3FXV9uE
I’m wondering if I could use my figure 8 as a choke off ring for my linesman’s belt?
Or would I need to purchase a ring?
I’m a new Saddle Hunter
It needs to be a synching anchor..as your main climb rope to reach the ground..the lanyard is not the primary life support it's for spikeing and positioning...2 tie ins...3 is even better...most hunters use a wild country ropeman 1...on lanyard and there systems are down right UNSAFE....it makes no sense why they don't use arborist gear. ..no sense
I just use running bowline and then clip the rope into my rope runner pro.
Are we talking about the same ANSI?
Can you set up a link with everything someone would need to use this system ?
Don't take trees in half. Small tops small problems
Yup, and it's always in your cut area. No thank you
🤔wir benutzen eine zweite Sicherung (Hanse Sicherung)in ca 100cm tiefer ,dann kannst nicht an dem Baum runterrutschen 🤗
I free climb with no safety. Because I hate my life
Just tie your life line off on the barrel on single line way more simple
if he was tied in the right way , double safety line ,wow, who taught him?
Or you could just tie a safety around the tree with a biner.
no but I need to learn to climb got some widow makers I need to get rid of
Sienpre cuando se esta asiendo un remubo se tiene que crusar el septic para que si te resbalas no tebengas para bajo
Looks like another form of the buck squeeze
Ring on a loop prussik or tie each end of the hitch to the loop..?
Rookie fookin died and I'm serious😮...
Guy is lucky that that top did not slide back into him
Or you can do it old school and tie your knot around it or flip line twice
The other bloke was only using a flip line
I just double wrap my buck strap
why not use the attachment holes on the hitch climber
Why he was taking that much off the tree at once is beyond me
Or he could've just been tied in...
I've never seen someone run a hitchclimber setup that way before. Also, i thought you were supposed to have more of a gap between the rings
4 inches is best..depends on diameter
Or you could double wrap your buckstrap.
There's also no need to take that large of a piece...
Just srt if you're working on a spar.
Weeding out is what it's called
Just double wrap your lanyard
I'm definitely going to give this a try
Is this the same concept as a buck squeeze?
The guy should of deff thought that cut threw
could you show us how exactly to make one
Just double rap your lanyards
Or double wrap the lanyard
Just use an ART cambium saver.
Finally found someone said what I was gona say! 👍👌
But like that you are to far from the truck to cut it
Tree work absolutely terrifies me.
