I see why is it that they feel this way or is this a classified? Also what is Joe using to attach said rope grab to the saddle? I really like the design and the attachment points. Also love the use of Arbormaster I love that rope!

We will do another video and slow down the mod.
As far as TS goes, you can ask them but I think they are worried about liability if they don't sell the yoke in a flip line config.
They sell it in a flip line config. "PNW yoke." Long story.

How much larger is it than the petzel micrograb http://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?category_id=223&item=15956#detail. This one looks pretty nice.

Close to same size, yoke is smaller if anything and smarter cantilever design. Cheaper too.

Climb rite mini works good...

You know you've got a good marketing video when the lady of the house (my wife) will watch 20 minutes VOLUNTARILY and be intrigued the whole way.

Good job August.

Yoke

Is that the brand or made by anyone specific ? I watched the video and am interested in getting one now ! I love how the bridge can be shortened for SRT among other things looks well thought out! Everything was very well explained in the video ! Good work !

Thank you. The yoke is sold by TreeStuff, long story behind its availability but it was a thing that I harped on about to Luke to make it available in an afforable way. Skylotech was rebranding them and selling them for a fortune. TreeStuff is however hesitant to sell them by themselves and sell them with a rope in them for flip line use. The climb right mini is a good option and it can be bought alone.
Also that new Petzl grab that was shown here I think or somewhere… yoke is a dream though I love it.

I imagine that's it's a bit more complicated than picking snaps and buckles. I'm pretty sure when they custom make a harness they measure you like your getting a tailored suit. Add your input on how you want things situated on it and then do a fitting before it's all finalized.

That sounds like it would be worth a road trip.

Today was the first day on my new Monkey Beaver saddle. I've been using an ergovation for several years and I thought it was pretty comfortable, this new saddle is even better. I like the leg pads, had to hang around on a spar for quite awhile while the ground crew cleaned the drop zone and in the ergo my legs would have gone to sleep and been uncomfortable. Not the case with the MB. Very comfortable saddle. And well thought out, I didn't think I was going to like the placement of the 2 d-rings for gear storage but it was nice to be able to look down and see everything instead of going by feel when I wanted a loop runner or a pinto pulley. Everything felt like it was in just the right place. So I thank you August and NewTribe, well done!

Nice! Good to hear, mines in transit as we speak! Hopefully it's here next week, it's a long way to Ontario from Grant's Pass!
