    What you recommend for pulling trees over to control the direction of the fall the best? Is there a rope that's good enough or you just about have to just use a cable if it's leaning at all?

    • @BinoH
      @BinoH  Рік тому +1

      I like to use double braid and the size rope would depend on the size of tree. Where I work we have 1/2", 5/8" and 3/4".

    Bino your late, I purchased the drenaLine 11.8mm two weeks ago and just got it, had you posted this video then you would have swayed me to go the Samson route, but I’m glad to hear and see the Ivy and drena are comparable, I do both ddrt and mrs, when the time comes to get a different line I’ll go get some ivy, by the way who do buy from if your willing to say?

    Great video. Sherrill makes this rope sound better for false crotch, friction saver, and mechanical usages, than for rope-on-wood applications. Being a double-braided line, I can understand that. I ordered one and plan to use it as a climbing line. When you climb with this rope, do you find that it holds up when tying into natural crotches, or do you have to baby it by using a friction saver?

    • @BinoH

    This was a very useful video for the 11.7 team. There is still some yale ivy rope available out there. And Sampson Fusion or Hyperclimb are good for a try. For my raw on-bark MRS climbing needs I want a 16 strand strong rope. I choose Notch Sasquatch 1/2 (12.8), a highly underrated strong tree line that acts like a rope (7.9klbs). I myself like a nice strong full rope in my hands, it's just goodness. It does run fine in a number of devices. Check out the Spider Jack if you want to mechanize the Sasquatch.

    That Silver Ivy reminds me of the feel of the Samson Predator 11.4mm line. Thats what i like about it & the hitches 😅 really grab on it. But ive been using an olive drab 9.5mm Sterling rope which is more static. I like it since 75ft. of it is much lighter than the Samson but the feel on the Samson is really nice due to the feel. Both lines need the right hitch to make them work.

    Hi bino,
    I'm curious as i have bought the Samson ivy rope to use with my rope runner pro, my rope runner tends to flatten out the rope and slips.
    What setting were you using the rope runner on?
    and when you use the rope runner does your rope flatten out? is that normal?
    It might be the greasy feel of the rope when its brand new, but i wanted to find out if its my device that is faulty.
    cheers

      What's better ..2 ropes, one for SR and one for MRT with one mechanism that works on (both) .. as clearly the RRP has limitations on the Silver Ivy for SRT
      Or 1 rope for both SRT and MRT and some other means to the RRP for switching between the two?

      @Jamie-vp2yb 2 роки тому +1

      @@tuberider1171 I like a rope that you can use for both because I change it up all the time depending on the situation. I liked the rope runner because it was so easy to go from drt to SRT and vice versa.
      I'm back on the prusik with the Knut hitch and rope wrench and quite happy with it. Not as smooth as the runner but I can still send it from a branch. I just hate the way the runner flattens the rope I might wait a little longer for my ropes to puff up.
      Also to note about the Ivy, I just recently did a big tree with most of the rope out. Discovered that the ropes sheath milked a fair way down. I looked at a sheriltree vid on it and followed the advice. After milking it more the ropes alot tighter and less squishy( holding its round shape) so I'm sure the runner will like that better.

    Just kidding, (except about the 130#).
    Honestly, I am in the market for a new rope. My current one is 40 years old. The only thing I use it for is a backup to my flipline and to rappel out if I get too tired to finish the tree. The most important attribute I require, is a high viz color to help me keep track of which is which. In the realm of luxury rope, I would wish for one that changed color at the mid-point.
