Very interesting to get exposure to stuff like this, thanks for the videos. Looking forward to see more of the JRB universal climbing system and hitch climbing videos like this one!
Been following your channel for a couple years now. Your doing a priceless service to the hunting and climbing community, for that I want to thank you. Your videos are just getting better and easier to navigate all the information.
I appreciate the videos. New York Saddle Hunters came out with Half Line SRT system recently that uses much of the same concepts. Just mechanical devices rather than rope hitches.
Those guys are great and I consider them friends, not competition. Climbers are being exposed to a number of ways to climb these days, which is good but what you're seeing from myself and NY Saddle are methods which include being tied in and on minimum to zero slack and having an unencumbered path to ground. Those attributes of a climbing system are crucial to our skeleton over the long haul. It only takes one kickout or slip or failure of a cheap component to make someone an accident statistic. Get your friends on a rope too! Cheers
Hi John it's amazing to see how easy you climb with this system!/) I got a question; did you ever posted something about the saddles or harness? Its interesting for me to know if they are useful for only hunting or also any tree climbing too Thank you John 👍
Hunting Saddles can be used for recreational purposes. This is all the information I have been able to put together. But I am using a new saddle and I will do a review on that very soon. jrbtreeclimbing.com/content/saddles/
John- at 10:23, the text referencing the Single Rope Rappel on the Garda Friction Hitch, should be changed to Munter Friction Hitch correct? I had to review the quick link setup and saw what I think is a typo.
Did so much hitch climbing SRT this season on 75 ft of 8 mm resc tech with 6 mm hitch cord. Shopping for a shorter thicker rope and cord combination, thinking this 11mm rope and 8 mm cord combination is what I would like but will keep it long at about 50 ft. Any recommendations would be welcome
@@jrbtc thanks for the heads up. Yep 10 mm rope and 7 mm might be my choice. Wondering how the 5-2-3 will work, or actually wondering how any cord larger than 7mm will tie . ,it needs to be supple enough for the wraps, but “fuzzy “ enough to grab. ECW camo 11mm rope and 9mm cord is very affordable. Nice camo color combination. Was very satisfied with resc tech 8mmm rope and 6 mm sterling desert camo accessory cord, but per your suggestion that is skinny rope for SRT. Studying on teufelberger cords and sterling. There are quite a few choices. Rocknarbor does offer sterling 7 and 8mm. One cord I looked at has a “fuzzy” sheath. Rochnarbor has a plethora of climbing supplies! And actually had trouble using their search engine.
My apologies... Unfortunately the text was incorrect. Munter, not Garda. I have updated the video description and supplied the link. ua-cam.com/video/KuJNyWTHRvk/v-deo.htmlsi=8KHB3oZESIvZG7Uz
Perfect timing. I had something like this in mind after watching all the videos and this puts all the pieces together!
Excellent. But stay tuned... i am gonna give you more options. You get to choose what ya like best.
Great information...
Thx Tim. More to come.

Hi John, just watched your first short, it was awesome! Real time and very affectionate

Thanks. 'Doing my best. If I am helping you, then you help someone else. Just pass it along.
he might be doing a “priceless service” for hunters, but for the “climbing community” he’s decade(s) behind in knowledge and skill.

Happy to help.

Sounds like you may be hunting a dragon this fall judging by that sound at @10:25 😮
I have NO idea what that was!

@@hollygattohunter unfortunately, that text can't be changed. It's part of the video and as diligent as I try to be, that one escaped my review
Arborist foot locking usually uses both feet. Rope starts outside brought under by far foot and pushed down on top of other boot

Keep your eye on the ROPE page on my website. Soon, Ape Canyon Outfitters will have a new 10mm rope. Its really a great rope!

Great video. It references a video "Single rope rappel on the garda friction hitch" which I can't find. Help?

@@jrbtc Thank you so much! Thought you'd figured out how to rappel on that Garda, was *very* intrigued!
