That’s nice. I liked the way you didn’t fast forward over the “boring” parts. I like the detail and I appreciated the way you didn’t do lots of fancy editing to make this appear slicker. Tree work is physically tough work and I enjoyed seeing this quickie advancing technique in action. Good work!
I'm a new climber, I came across your channel about a couple of weeks ago. You been a great help and do a great job! You'll hit your 1000 subscribers fast.👍
@@briankennedy1313 The lanyards used in the video are lanyards we built and are perfectly legal to use, we can definitely buy spliced-eye lanyards, but this is what we choose to use. Definitely no saws in the tree for this video, this video is strictly to show the technique in the video, No saws required!
Thanks Bino! I’m new to SRT and just got my V3 quickie. These videos and tutorials are super helpful to teach me how to advance up a tree without Spurs.
This is very tight teaching here ... Thank you for uploading this techniques. It's nothing for many people but it's so magical to my eyes ! LoL this solves so many obstacles that I couldn't when I was an kid long long ago... lol 🤣👍👍👍
I've been climbing DRT every since I started, and haven't wanted to switch over and try SRT since it seemed too complicated and I was honestly a little intimidated by some of the gear...this video finally helped me understand a simple retrieval method! Thanks to you, I'm making the switch! Thanks for explaining it so well.
I just found your channel. You have a great way of explaining things. I have been using drt and thought about srt, you have convinced me to start. you make it look simple and you make it easy to understand. keep up the good work. 👍
Love the lanyard.. I always make my own lanyards from dragonfly.. good video I just ordered another couple of quickies. They come in so handy for all kinds of things... one just wasn't enough🤣🤣 secondary climbing system if you utilize it correctly As You Are. Good video
Hi and thanks Bino love your video! Really would like to know what the gloves you are wearing are Im trying to track down gloves that don't get caught in prusiks and pulleys thanks again!
It's my understanding that a carabiner is not good to use for a canopy anchor because the possibility of side loading. rated Quick/ Screw links or a quickie would be a better choice.
@@BinoH this is absolutely right, I’ve used a carabiner in error before and didn’t like the side gate rubbing against the limb. Then became aware of the side loading issue, the quickie resolves this. It’s also a “pulley” in one device. Like Bino states in the video the pin should always be put to the outside to avoid pressure which could potentially open the quickie.
Hi Bino! I enjoy watching your video’s: you’ve got some great content! I want to ask you: what is the conecting device between your hitch Climber pulley and the tether?
I made that accessory by cutting out sheet metal into 2 oblong plates, and connected them to a Rope Wrench slick pin with a bolt and a metal spacer. But I would recommend the one my son uses, it is called an "@HEIGHT- DOUBLE LEG STIFF TETHER FOR ROPE WRENCH" it is a double eye tether and it comes with a rubber grommet to help prevent the friction hitch form collapsing. We go over this product in our SRS video about the Michoacan if your interested. Thanks for the comment!!!
Hello Bino. I am an "aspiring novice" climber with a build and date of creation similar you your own. As much as I struggle to climb, I am amazed at how easy you make it look. In this particular video, rather than using the butterfly / quickly method you demonstrated for retrieval from the ground, would it be just a easy to connect the closed end of your line to your hitch climber and descend with a MRS setup? I suspect you are trying to maintain the apples / oranges concept and wanting to maintain the SRS setup for work positioning, but it was a thought I had while watching the video. I very much enjoy your video creations and admire the skills you have and what you have taught Noah. Keep em coming!
@@Limp_Briskit In this video I do not make high throws if did though I would take off the quickie make the throw and after the high throw put back on the eye and reconnect.
Bino, may I ask a couple of questions please... * How much do you weigh? ... i.e. your Michoacan is (only) 4 wraps and it holds you up. thanks! * Is it necessary to use the butterfly knot to connect the Quickie to *only* for the purpose of pulling down the rope from the ground? ... e.g. there is no safety or other advantage to connecting to the butterfly knot, correct? ...the use of the butterfly know is *only* for retrieving the rope from the ground, correct? thanks! Thanks for the video!
.I weigh 240lbs, .yes the michoacan has 4 wraps and it is a 24" prusik cord and it holds me up just fine, but if you have a longer cord you may need to take additional wraps to secure it, also depending on the diameter of the climbing line and the type of prusik cord you use it can vary to how well it will hold. If you decide to use different cords and different ropes be sure to practice low and slow! .No, The Butterfly Knot or other loop knots are required for a safe canopy anchor, all the Quickie is used for is to quickly make adjustments in your line while you are in the tree. Hope this answers your questions! Thanks for the comment!!!
No it's not rated for climbing. Petzl screw link will work. www.bartlettman.com/products/petzl-go-quicklink?currency=USD&stkn=53c9516e7f96&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw26KxBhBDEiwAu6KXt1L-HKUnP6AsH1qyZvugFdVEo3mF_dt7pTVaG99ssndnjgImTqpk_xoCTXUQAvD_BwE
Great video's Bino! 💪💪🍺🍺 So really you can just keep advancing up the tree and not send your retrieval side line down until you are at your final highest canopy anchor. Right?
@@BinoH I was climbing a big oak today and it was hard to get a high crotch so I just leap frogging my way up with this method and a lanyard. Instead of the quickie I used a alpine butterfly and a carabiner but I made the butterfly long so it went around the branch and hung down with no side loading of the biner. Do you think that is ok?
@@derelictfpv I've seen climbers use that method but when I first started using SRS I read book SRT and in the book it explained that using a is not a good option due to possible side loading. A rated screw link or a quickie is better to use.
@@BinoH Yeah for sure, I was aware of the side loading so that's why I made the loop in the butterfly longs so the carabiner isn't even touching the tree. But going forward I will grab myself a quickie. Thanks for all the great video's Bino. 🙏🙏🍺🍺
Great video. I personally like to use a double ended lanyard that about 25' long in total. I make a srt anchor with a butterfly then use the double ended lanyard and needed to leave ccess the other parts of the canopt...less work messing with stuff. I use the Captain Hook for anything farther that the lanyard wont reach. I like how you've used the quickie ..very nice technique! Does it ever get stuck..as in not enough weight to come back down?
Bino, Appreciate the video. I was wondering if you are ever concerned with using the quickie to advance in Srt the higher up the tree you get. I am old school where when using Srt my ground guy and I hang on the line to make sure it holds before assent. Seems this may be a disadvantage to the quickie advancing technique while up in the tree? Your thoughts
I don't feel like it's any different than advancing with the MRS system because it's a canopy anchor. When it's a base anchor and your advancing it doubles your weight on your tie in point.
Bino, could I get a recommendation on a rope bag. I’be never owned one, and looking for suggestions that aren’t extremely expensive. Thanks for all these videos
I'm not the best person to ask about rope bags. I tend to buy the cheapest ones I can get. Check out arborists supply web sites you may find one you'll like. Here are some names Bishop company, Tree Stuff, Wesspur, Sherrilltree, . Hope this helps.
Bino H I ended up stopping in at a larger saw shop in Kansas City and purchased an inexpensive tree stuff brand they had there. Pretty basic but does everything I need. Thanks, take care sir
Hey mate! I think you’ve convinced me to get the Quickie. One question though: does putting it on a spliced eye and choking it off on a branch compromise it’s strength at all? Or is that specifically how the quickie is designed to be used as a canopy anchor?
Good question based on the fact that a carabiner indeed is not designed to carry full weight crosswise on it's side (such as during a high-impact fall) while the construction and design of the Notch Quickie maintains its full strength on its side when braced on a tree limb.
I think you are asking if I had to remove one on the fork I was tied into. I would pick another tie in or if removed the limb and there was enough of the fork left I would still use the same point. I might drop down to a lower crotch and retie. You could also double the rope down.
@@BinoH Yes you got it. Double the rope down because you were already at the tie-in point. Go up single come down double. As long as there is enough rope.
I've started doing some small tree removal, but I'd like to buy some climbing gear so I can move up to some bigger trees. I can't afford high end gear. Do you have any recommendations on basic gear I'll need to get up the tree safely? I saw a Notch Sentry saddle with sliding D-Ring on sale for $50 would that work with a SRS Line? Could it also be used with a flip line and spurs? I'm 65 and I ain't ready to throw in the towel just yet.
It is possible myself I don't do well with the sliding D on SRS when I ascend. I tend to slip to one side and it hard for me to get out of it. I like a solid tie in. You might start with learning the Ddrt/ MRS system.
This helps, but how might I advance when I'm using a base anchor to ascend with a Chicane and Zig Zag to boot! I can get up high pitching the ball but I need to get higher to place my tie in point exactly where I want it. (Coming from a guy who is playing with all kinds of gadgets and only been up in the tree a handful of times). I like your videos and they do help but I have some different hardware so your content doesn't always apply specifically to my situation. And yes, I am learning some old school too, but I'm older and I want to make this as easy as is feasible. So far, just cutting 60-80 foot pines and spruce trees but eventually I'll get around to working with some hardwoods too. I'm not in a hurry, so I appreciate the slow and down to earth videos that I can put into action almost instantaneously.
Have you done a natural crotch redirect with your Zigzag and Chicane? If you have done that it is almost the same to advance upward you just have to make sure you have enough rope.
Bino H Not yet. I literally just started using them today and climbed up about 50 feet or so. Plan on going up higher tomorrow and just seeing how comfortable I am up there. Doing DDRT and SRT and just curious how you advance with that gear without taking everything apart. It’s easy DDT but I likely will be a SRT guy for the most part after I learn the basics. I could use a quickie (ordered 2 today) if it wasn’t for my base anchor I was using. That’s what stumped me.
I'm a new climber, what r your thoughts on the hitchhiker 2? Any feedback would be appreciated. I have already purchased it and have used it a few times. Looking for short cuts to get up the tree faster
I've never used the Hithhiker 2 but it looks like a nice system. For me what helped was getting used to the foot and the knee ascender and your neck leash or chest harness once you get thosed dialed in to the way you like it. It becomes easier. Thank you.
Good point - so far it's not PPE approved for human use by Conformité Européenne (CE) or USA ASTM, although when used with a 1 inch strap the Quickie has AMAZING strength! th-cam.com/video/eX3k86FFQ_0/w-d-xo.html
That quickie shackle really isn't necessary. Run the bitter end through the butterfly and you'll be fine. Been using that method for years, never used a quickie or shackle and never a problem.
True but there are some nice advantages see: world-class climber Jeff Inman's video th-cam.com/video/UxQbXbSLryY/w-d-xo.html and this one th-cam.com/video/8I4LJL2dKcg/w-d-xo.html by Strider Trees

Do you just toss your throw ball and line up that high or do you use a sling shot?
In this video I just used the rope but if I'm using a throw ball I usually just throw. I have used the Big shot for 80+ throw ins but not too often.
Bino does your chest harness always has to be on the pulley? Even when limb walking or starting work ?
No it does not have to stay on the pulley. You just want to have it on when you are ascending.
The quickie seem harder than screw lock oval quick link?
I think it depends on the person using it. The Screw link worked fine but the Quickie for me is a little bit faster.
good job señor 👍✌
Thank you!
what kind of belt
I'm wearing a Buckingham Master 5.0
I’m thinking those quickies are not OSHA approved. Just use a locking carabiner and nothing to drop. Otherwise great video
I agree, seems complicated to use a tricked out shakle.
Good point - so far it's not PPE approved for human use by Conformité Européenne (CE) or USA ASTM, although when used with a 1 inch strap the Quickie has AMAZING strength!

You were at your final tying at 6 minutes.
why don't you put another quickie on the other end of your rope wrench instead of the bracket crap your now using
The Quickie is a little bit longer than I want it to be at that connection.
Uh, no thanks on the "Quickie".
