    use tail to setup secondary system

    was reminded indirectly that I had forgotten a nice technique for self tending ddrt with nothing more than an inline clove hitch. I just always chose srt vs hip thrusting ascents. (ffwd to 6:20) but it got me wondering why I am not using my tail as a secondary climbing system? Does anyone do...

    light rigging with ring and "figure 8" aka "rescue 8"

    haven't seen this previously. orientation seems to matter. figure8 on sling first, then ring, rigging rope from groundee through outside of ring, rigging rope to cut piece between ring and figure8. add an expected wrap through figure8 to add canopy friction. un flook the rope off the figure8 to...

    reg coates climbing and rigging is next level

    the nerdy climber stuff starts around 12 and it gets into "rewind, pause, rewind, scratch head, rewind" territory shortly after. I learned so much from this man. Somehow he still comes up with new spins I just don't see in my zip code. Also some peeks at his mulitcender device which seems to...

    Stihl MSA190t battery top handle

    have been running the stihl msa190t for a few weeks now in production setting and it's really great. I got it mainly because my personal ms194t popped the carburetor intake manifold now a third time... and my employer has an array of stihl batteries. and that was a good excuse. It was $400 tool...

    climbing with big saws

    any clever techniques to secure a heavy saw aloft? like suspenders with a typical saw lanyard, hanging if from a second bridge, or cinching it to the tree?

    bear's grip hitch

    the yt algorithm just showed me this... first impressions are wow, this would be great for light solo rigging. will need to test it and see how securely it holds and how reliably it releases.

    alternating between SRT and DdRT

    Been regularly climbing on the Petzl Spin ever since seeing Dan Holiday explain it on climbing arborist and it has encouraged some creative adaptations I'd like to share. I equally love climbing SRT and DdRT. I can't decide between them, so use both. I can't be bothered to isolate my TIP so...

    chinook hitch

    Several months ago I stumbled across the twin rope climbing technique (TRT) and wanted to master some of the concepts using the gear I already own without purchasing any specialized equipment, so that I would have effective methods to work certain scenarios (like failed or dead trees), but using...
