Omg! I can't even keep track of whats going on with his setups half the time.. soooooo much hardware.. Imagine how heavy that is?

In his defense, he does come up with some interesting stuff.. I always assumed he was a machinist or something.. but he makes allot of these little modifications & doo-dads right there in his little tee-pee hut with minimal tools.. does his own anodizing etc.. he's reeeeally into it.. I have his blog bookmarked somewhere where u can see exactly what he's using for parts, I'll link it later once i find it again. Yeah i know, whole point of bookmark..

Oh & as far as the rope goes, it looks like he just cut right through the dang thing, almost like it was on purpose.. i doubt that, but sure looks like it from the cameras perspective.

Anybody know what that shiny protrusion on the Top nose of his Akimbo is? Kinda early in the game for modifications, isn't it?

Haha.. that's exactly what i thought as well.. "dang it's brand new & he's going to town on it" But hey if you know what you want & how to implement it, all the power to him..

Hang on a sec, I'll dig up that link to his actual blog.. it's different than the daigentanoen.jp link he posts with his videos.

So.. just a heads up, it's an actual Japanese blog, you'll need a translation feature. Also, I'm pretty sure every single thing he posts on his YouTube is on the blog, but it's over 2,000 posts & its mixed in with with allot of farming/gardening stuff. However, if you reference what you want to see from the dates posted to YouTube, you can single out what your looking for chronologically as it will mirror the blog.

All those shiny new boo-boo bobbers sure didn't stop him form cutting his climbing line? No Bueno!

This fella is clearly suffering from some sort of OC disorder. A little therapy and some meds might be in order? Another great remedy is to simply go on a serious bender, get some pussy, shit on a cop car, get his ass kicked by said cops, and spend a few days in jail getting his ass continually kicked by the aforementioned law enforcement officers. Does wonder to clear the mind. Highly recommended!

Is it just me. or did anyone else feel a powerful need to hurt themselves after listening to that music for 15 minutes. I watched the vid while having my morning cup and some toast, when I was suddenly overtaken with a very strong urge to jam my butter knife in my own eye. Thank gawd my lovely wife showed up to talk me down off the ledge.

In my view, it is a couple of handles to make it easier to pull down on the Akimbo to start descent. Just like the Compact Adjustable Bulldog Bone has those rubberized nubs on the end. I believe there is at least one moment in this video (at 15:55) that shows a chrome ball on each of the two sides of the Akimbo.

Yeah there are a few folks installing nubbins like that. Perhaps Rock Exotica can offer this a as a send in modification? Maybe version two will have tapped holes specifically for this?
 
What in the duck did I just watch? That guy just cut his freaking TIP until it was down to a single thread then cinched it up and tightened up his akimbo on that line???
Nightmare material ...

When old timers complain about “kids with their new shiny shinies” I know how they feel. That guy took like 10 minutes setting up a TIP ??

Along with being bald, semi illiterate, under endowed, and born with my eyes to close together, being highly impatient is yet another one of my serious short comings. I can quickly get pretty unruly when forced to watch an extremely slow climber. Its always amazes me how fast these mutherfuckers can move when they see you head to the stump and begin your undercut while they are still in the tree.
