G2 Outdoors Can I buy just the spliced rope sections without any hardware?? The only option I saw on the website was for the lineman’s and tree tether package with the carabiners included.
Took me a minute to find the link to the ropes, I found it. Thanks for sharing, I appreciate you taking the time to make this video, have a blessed weekend my friend. Dale
Chad Goebel these are all factory spliced and available for purchase at www.tethrdnation.com Splicing these double braided ropes on your own is a major PITA.
heya greg another great video sir ....just have a couple quik questions for you.....instead of double braided rope could you use 5/16" AmSteel for your linemans rope and/or tree tether rope? would the ropeman1 dig into it too much to cut it? thanks for a response in advance
Great videos. I just ordered my first stand. It's not made for saddle hunting though. (Lone Wolf Assault 2) I don't have any safety harnesses or ropes yet, so that's how I found your channel. Instead of getting a hunters full 5 point harness, should I just go for a saddle system and use it with my Lone Wolf? I wont be buying a predator platform. Would I get the best of both worlds with this setup? I know it will be heavier, but that's okay, I'm practicing on my land for now. Thanks
I'm a little confused if ur climbing the tree with ur lineman belt and say u miss a step how is the lineman gonna keep u from falling looks like u will still slide down the tree!I know the lineman is good for using both hands but they always say if something happens I'm still connected to the tree by ur linemans belt and I just don't see it its not gonna stop u from falling!
Hi Greg, great vid! I noticed your rope has a double sliced eye...one large and one small. I was wondering if the Tethrd lineman’s and tree tethers have a small spliced loop at the tail end or straight? I’ve always like to clip back in to my Biner for that double safety and xtra peace of mind. Keep up the great work! 👍Thanks, Rob
Ryan Shaw Search amazon for “double braided arborists rope”. Ropes for tree work are usually more flexible and a bit less money than rock climbing ropes.
Hey Greg what are some tips on rope maintenance? Cleaning, water proofing etc. I thought about spraying them with kiwi waterproofing. I bought the Tethrd lineman’s and tether.
You don't really need to do any maintenance other than inspections for damage. The ropes are made with UV and Rot resistant fibers so you don't have to worry about them degrading with moisture or exposure to the elements.
Where do you get this type of line? I watched the video on splicing the rope and the figure 8 not and all that. My question is are you using the rope that the WildEdge uses for their tree steps?
Only place these are available is www.tethrdnation.com These ropes are different than the WE ropes. Ours is a double braid climbing rope with a 6,000 lb rating. I don't think the WE rope is climbing rated.
Greg - Thethrd sells two different size lineman and tether ropes, 11 mm or 8mm. Which of those size ropes do you personally prefer and use the most and why?
8mm all day long. It's lighter and a lot less bulky. I can easily fit my tether, lb, 2 carabiner, and 2 ropemans in 1 SYS Hauler. I wish I had changed to the 8mm rope sooner.
@@G2Outdoors Darn. During the past month I had problems with the lineman ropes that I had ordered from another company (they were too short). So I decided to get some new ropes. I watched your videos, liked them a lot. It looked to me like you were using 11mm ropes. I read about the ropeman 1 that you recommended, and I don't think that will work with the 8mm ropes. So I ordered the 11mm tether and lineman ropes from Thethrd. They arrived a few days ago and have never been used. They looked kind of large to me. I was hoping you would truthfully be able to tell me that you really do recommend 11mm over 8mm for some reason, but I appreciate the truth rather than what I would have preferred to hear. Maybe Tethered will let me trade up since the newly arrived ropes have never been used and were delivered to my house less than a week ago. I am not blaming you for my ordering mistake. Your sharing of knowledge in videos has been great! Technology is always advancing and we are all always learning and adapting. It just sucks that I got less desirable ropes. I am in the process of transitioning from climbers. This season my first use of climbing sticks (Muddy Pros) and hang on stands. Now (at the end of this season) I am about to transition to at least some form of saddle hunting to cut down on weight and bulk. I will try to call Tetherd to see if there is anything I can do to get the 8mm ropes I am sure I will also prefer since they are less bulky.
@@carypeaden4147 Tethrd is a great company run by great people :) They will absolutely let you return/exchange for the 8mm ropes. If they say "No" just tell them G2 said they had to :)
@@carypeaden4147 There's nothing wrong with 11mm ropes. They will work great. They're just bulkier and heavier than the 8mm option. I prefer the 8mm no doubt.
@@G2Outdoors Thanks. I can tell that Tethrd is a good company and group of people and they have good products. Thanks! I will return the 11mm ropes and get the 8mm ropes. Just a minute ago I was watching a Tethrd One Stick Review video (that just came out) and you said "Buy once, cry once". Ideally, I want to get the product I really want as early as possible (rather than wasting money on stuff that's good but not quite right). To begin with I will just use the prusick knot, but eventually I will get either a device like a Ropeman 1 or a Madrock Safeguard (depending on whether I will repel). Are you using the Ropeman 1 with the 8mm rope, or did you switch to something else?
Very helpful but I sure wish they would post a phone number cuz they don't show spliced ropes and they seem to have some issues with responding to emails?...I get it I'm sure they are crazy busy but, old school phone number would be nice...you've got a great channel!

Thank you. Thank you. Great video. Keep it up. Please keep making saddle tree video

You got it. Glad it helped.
Thank you.
Great tips on splicing!
Love it dude. I'm always looking forward to your videos. I love the girth hitch lineman's belt and sys hauler combo. Excellent!
Joe P it's a great combo for sure.
GREAT INFORMATION! THANK YOU! NEW SUB. ALWAYS THUMBS UP!
Good video but I like Prusiks better. And they are one handed if you use the caribiner as an aider. Less metal and cost.
How do you keep your tether line from sliding down the tree when you move sideways in the direction the line goes thru the loop?
Great job greg as usual
The Buck Psych Thx for checking it out!
Nevermind I got it thanks for all the info
Very informative video!!! Are you splicing the eyes yourself or ordering the ropes with the specific spliced eye sizes you want?

The ropes from Tethrd only have 1 spliced eye. If you want to tie a backup, I recommend a figure 8.
What kind of rope is this? Where could I get 75 feet of it to climb with the DRT or SRT method.

Ropes for tree work are usually more flexible and a bit less money than rock climbing ropes.
are the eye splices lock stitched? Thanks.
They are all locked with stitches from tethrd nation
Do they splice the ropes themselves before they sell them to us or does the manufacturer?
We are having the rope manufacturer splice these ropes for us before they come to our shop.
How long is you tether? And how long is your lineman belt? Great video!! Thank you
8' total length
What about the knot on the end in case you have a failure
Yup. The stopper knot is crucial. Good catch. These were brand new ropes and I hadn't done that yet.
Will the 11 mm rope fit into the ropeman?
Where is the link for the climbing rope web site with the splice?

Sounds good thanks! Get some rest brother I know you have been busy
Do you climb with the lineman’s belt wrapped around the tree or just the tether?
Lineman.
Where is the whip stitch or lock stitch on those spliced eyes
What carabiners are you using?
What are the lengths to you linemen and you tether from the tip of the spliced eye to the other end?
8-9 foot end to end seems like a really good length for me.
@@G2Outdoors thanks you, I was planning on making my own linemen and teather. I just needed a reference.
What mm rope are you using on your LB and tether rope?
Thanks in advance
11 mm Ithink

Ok so I will watch this again , but what is the name of the rope and does this 1/2 inch work with the rope man 1 ?
mike nutto rope is at www.tethrdnation.com it works great with ropeman1. I demonstrate it in the video.
no
I'm having trouble trying to buy the Mantis saddle on the web site. Can't seem to add it to cart. Anyone else have this trouble?
send a note to hello@tethrdnation.com
Does the ropeman 2 work with 1/2 rope?
Yes, but I don't recommend the Ropeman 2. The 1 is better.
no
How long is your linemen rope?
8 feet.
The Ropeman is not an ascender, it's a slack adjuster.
Lol
Bud it's not a lineman belt it's a flipline
We call it a lineman. Whatever works for you.
