You had a "what's on my harness" video awhile back but I can't find it. I'm knew to using wirecore fliplines and can't find anything like yours available at any of the regulars Sherrill, Barttlett ect. So my question is how do you get the Gibbs Kilmair bidirectional ascender on the flipline if both ends are already terminated. Is it a special request w the manufacturer type of deal? If so which manufacturer/supplier(s) have you used? Also noted the Gibbs Kilmair product description says its for 1/2 in non metal rope only. Any idea why? Seems to work just fine with your wirecore rope
When I got it it came with a steel core flipline, and that's also how I saw it first used. The way you get it on is there is a single bolt that holds the blue part of the cam inside the red part, you just take that apart put it over the Flipline, and then reinsert the blue part tighten it down, and every time before you use it you check to make sure the bolt and the nut haven't changed positions. I got it on wesspur.com
Thanks. For those who want to know the wesspur description clarifies it shouldn't be used directly on steel cable but the rope jacket makes fliplines fine. What's the length on yours ? Is that 15ft
@@jameskuhn4128 yeah I think it's just because it doesn't grab very well to steal. So one thing you'll notice is that if your flip line gets down to Bare cable it's time to replace it. Yeah it's the 15 ft half inch one
That was next level stuff…awesome job. What do you use as a breakaway in the event the stem or the limb fails to prevent breaking your back or worse? I use a very short sling for stuff like that.
So unfortunately I typically forget to have a breakaway, which I know is not the best. However when I do remember it's just a little accessory carabiner. I felt okay working up in this tree because as I was going up it didn't feel too squishy and it didn't shake to the point where I thought it was imminently going to collapse.
I do really sketchy dead trees as well and feel them out, and have taken your technique using the other end of my lanyard to tap and hear the sound of the wood, just wondering if it’s just me but I find it highly annoying and very disrespectful when the ground hands aren’t paying attention or looking for potential hazards to help me but instead smoking and choking laughing and having a good time while I’m putting out extreme effort, just wondering on your opinion about that
I typically will climb most things provided under something for me to tie into nearby. Additionally I also know that at any point in time if I don't feel comfortable in a tree I can and will get out of the tree and simply say I can't and won't do this. It's not worth me getting hurt or feel, so for me to do a dead tree like this I was fairly confident that it wouldn't fail and injure me.
Brave or crazy .. maybe a little of both ! Amazing job ! Stay safe !
Thanks 👍
Thank for the shared information good job.
This guy is second to none.
Thanks
Impressive srt tie in on the adjacent tree! Base tie or canopy tie and did you set from the ground!?!?!
I shot it into the canopy with the big shot slingshot, and then set a basal anchor
Good job my friend
Thanks

Yeah I'm not a very big fan of when I need something up in the tree and they're not paying attention, and not on the ball.
What software do you use for editing videos?
Adobe premiere pro
How many lbs are you you kinda look more heavy then most tree guys
I'm 6 ft 7 and 250 lb. I'm just a little bit bigger than most climbers LMFAO
There aint enough money out there for me to have to deal with dead trees unless i use a crane. Its just not worth it to me. Good job though.
