I come from a Trad (rock)Climbing background. You TreeGuys™ do things sooooooo different... but generate a shit-ton of good ideas for me in my world. Thanks, my man!
Yes indeed your getting better because micro pulleys are not always appropriate. I’m going to use your suggestion that I could of used yesterday. Your displaying beautifully formed climbing knots let your photographer know your showing it to students that want to take screen shots. Again, excellent work your an excellent instructor because you include the need to be Cautious
Nicely done Bino. I have a few water oaks to cut near a friends house. They have trunks that are larger than I usually climb so I need to make a longer lanyard. You just answered all my questions. Thank you. Smiling, George.
most excellent , really like the list of parts for those who may need a idea for what you have used and like . people may want a different size lanyard or a different color for there own personal preference , BUT you've shown a tried n true method ..
Тот случай, когда человек показывает с целью чтобы его поняли, а не просто показать какой я крутой! Благодарю уважаемый! Не знаю английский совсем, но это не помешало.Мне очень пригодится!!!
You are a great teacher. Thank you im brand new to climbing and i have been learning alot from you. Your camera person is also on point. May i ask you for the landyere you made im currently building my climbing kit.
Bino, I just made my new lanyard. I have a saddle that is a year old which was made with Samson Predator 11.4mm rope on the lanyard with a poor man's ascender & a Fusion carabiner. I also have 2 climbing lines of the Samson Predator. My 2nd lanyard is an Oplux 8mm tactical that I only use when I was already @ the height I need to work @. On my new saddle it comes with only the Oplux with the poor man's ascender on it. I wanted to tie my climbing line into something like I had on the original saddle. This new lanyard attaches to the large loops on my new saddle great & I can tuck the Oplux away neatly. So there is a Petzyl oval carabiner on the 1 end of the rope & the Prusik which I didn't like using on my HitchClimber Eccentric. I bought a curved gate Petzyl & tied it onto the tail end of my rope as a stopper. I also was able to find an Ocean & HRC with the small sewn ends on them now to use with my HitchClimber Eccentric. Thanks for the video cuz I didn't want to use that Oplux as a bridge for my double rope climbing system. The Michoacon I have on the new lanyard works just like the sewn eye & eye on my original saddle which is tried & true. Thanks once again 👏
4:51 - Please where can I get this twisted 8 flipline adjuster? Can't find it nowhere in Amazon or eBay... Please some addresses or Links? Many thanks in anticipation. Rgrds
It's called Shizll you should be able to find it at Bishop Company, Tree Stuff, Sherill Tree or maybe an Arborist Supply Company near you. Hope this helps.
Man that is awesome! I want to become an arborist and that is a serious set up. Cheers from Australia just subbed.nice work. I gotta trim those Gumtrees! ( widowmaker).
@@BinoH yeah I'm not scared of heights but if I start on smaller ones and work my way up eventually I should get there. Years ago I went up in a cherry picker and I was sweating like in a sauna. Now I can go in the biggest over 100 footer and it doesn't phase me, only for about 5 minutes. After that I'm jumping up and down and shaking the cage from side to side just to put more stress on me.lol. up 3 to 4 floors on commercial buildings and even straight up. I know it's different in a harness on a tree but just learning teqniques on UA-cam and rock climbing made a huge difference. I'm dying to receive my orders. I subbed so if you have any new vids? I'll be watching over and over. Thanks for the reply and I highly appreciate any info, advice on this topic! Take care .🙂👍👍👍
Thanks, really good point about being able to make up you own stuff. Customizing is where I’m headed so I’m trying to pick up new stuff. My goal is to come up with the perfect 2 in 1 that I can use when I’m leap frogging up. I may need to go with about 25-30’ length. My biggest issue has been a bi directional system. I tried an English prusik but it always gets too tight w/out a micro pulley. But when I use the micro pulley it’s no longer bidirectional...:/
I use a clip with a pulley and take the pulley of while doing two directions. I made a video named How to make an improved lanyard. I shows how I like to use it.
@@dprevish100 True the three wrap prussik can get tight. You mentioned that your lanyard is 30' long. It sounds like you might use almost like a secondary climbing system. Maybe make it one directional. for me when I use a 2 n1 it's more for holding me in place so the prussik won't freeze.
Great video thank you for showing how this works so detailed. I'm curious is there a safe way to make a climbing lanyard out of nothing but a rope and a couple carabiners? Without prusik or sizzle or thimble
very helpful you are giving me a lot of good and well-explained advice with your channel , I'm from the UK and can't find a plastic thimble as you use in the vid I know as you said it is not necessary but if there is someone who could point me in the right direction I would appreciate your help THANKS
Try a web search ( Shizll Rope Slider ) I bought mine at Bishop Company in Whittier California. TreeStuff may have and maybe SherillTree. There may be one closer to you.
Just for my own head, having a clip on the non-working end of your lanyard would function as an added piece of mind. I’m sure it wouldn’t matter. Maybe just to keep me a bit less nervous 😂
The section starting at 3:31 to 4:30. Could you show that again? I had a hard time following that prussic setup. Or maybe you have it better explained on another video?
If you are using a carabiner, it would be better to use an eye to eye. If you are using a clip with a solid eye you could use a loop. You want to have a rated prusik cord.
@@BinoH could you not just make a prussik cord with a small section of rated climbing rope, and tie 2 double fisherman bends on the tails to clip into your carabiner? A little bulky but would definitely work.
You mentioned that knot is a single direction knot, but could you should have to build one of these that could be used for a 2-in-1 lanyard? Thanks for the help love your videos
You could make a 2 and 1 lanyard but with the Shizll and a one direction knot you can only tend in one direction. I have seen where a guy used 2 shizll's and 2 knots on a 2 and 1 lanyard. Myself I like to use a English Purssik and a removable micro pulley on a 2 and 1 lanyard.
Hello Bino, I used an Ocean 8mm x 24 inch eye-to-eye prusik Michipocan on my 1/2 inch Samson Arbormaster Blue Streak lanyard and it was not binding under tension. I used a CMI micropulley instead of shizll. Do you think the prusik, lanyard, or operator error is/are the issue? I will swap out the 8mm for a 10mm x 28-inch Bee-line. Thank you!
What is the brand and size ropes are you using. I am starting to climb trees and having a problem with ropes not releasing to slide down (they bite to hard). I am roughly the same size as you. I have been having to use a huge and would really like to get get away from mechanical ascending and decending devices.
Hi Jim, some Here are some of the ropes I use. New England Hi V 1/2, Samson 1/2 Blue Streak, Teufelberger drenaLINE 11.8mm Rope and Teufelberger Xstatic 11.7mm Rope. Here are some split tails, 1/2 climbing line using a termination knot, 8mm eye to eye 24" prussik cord and 8mm HRC 30" prussik cord. Hope this helps.
Hi Bino- I had a question about the friction hitch adjuster on the lanyard. Is it OK to just leave it tied on the lanyard after each climb, or is it important to untie it from time to time (or maybe even every climb?) so that the points of contact change and it isn't always used/stressed in the same exact places? I'm newer to climbing and just curious about this detail. Thanks!
You should inspect it at the begining of each day you are going to use. You really do not need to take it off the lanyard hitch does not get the same kind of wear that your climbing hitch does (No long decents) less chances for damage. I hope this was helpful. Take care!
I have a 9/16 rope and I'm wanting to put thimbles in the eyes. My options are 1/2 in and 5/8 in. I was assuming the 5/8 would be the one to go to because it's a bigger size. This should be fine yeah?
I'm not sure you might be able to go either way it's only 1/16" up or down. If it's smaller the rope might squeeze in and if it's larger when you tie the knot and put weight on it. It could expand into thimble. I guess it may depend on your rope if it has give or is is solid. The rope in this video is 11 mm and it fit in the 1/2" thimble.
Just curious what your 2nd and 3rd choice termination knots would be after the double fishermans? Do you find the double fishermans vastly superior? Is the plastic thimble on the snap just to be friendlier to the rope? (any other purposes?) Thanks! Love how thorough your videos are!
My first is the: Double Fisherman's Bend, second, Anchor Hitch, and third, is Buntline hitch. The Double Fisherman's is the one I use most often, and yes, I feel it's more superior. Yes, the thimble helps to save the rope ,but I like the way it looks and feels as well. You can make a lanyard without it and it will work just as well. Thanks for watching!
I tried to buy thimbals off Amazon..I didn't see any...where did you get yours?....That weather looks fantastic what city in California you in?.....freezing here in NC....lol
Hey Bino, this is super helpful for those of us who would rather build our own rig. If you wanted to go even cheaper, could you simply secure the prussik straight to your harness with a carabiner for tending? I haven' tried it yet and I'm sure it's not as user friendly but saves the $60 for a shizll with gear everyone already has. Thoughts?
I’m trying to find a place to buy the shizel. I read that you bought it all at Bishop but if I search their website for that it has nothing. Any help would be appreciated
I'm curious about the snaps. Since I'll be making my own lanyard as per one of your videos, I've been researching which snaps I want to buy. Are these made by ProClimber from Pelican Rope Works? What make and model? When I read the reviews for the ISC two and three lock snap hooks, some people were stating that lock parts are getting bent, which causes sticking. I want to be safe with whatever I decide on. Thanks Bino!
Bino H I do not have anything yet I want to do the srs setup I watched you mrs vs srs video and I already had my mind set on the srs I know from your video it will cost more. I’m looking on amazon for prices is there anywhere else I can shop for bargains?
@@billynix289 I wouldn't look on amazon it would be better to buy from an Arborist supply company. It is life support and you can be sure if you buy from an Arborsst supply company it will be rated to use for climbing. Here are some companies Bishop company, Tree Stuff, Sherill Tree, West Spur, Weaver Arborist, or look for an Arborist supply company in your area. Don't buy anything second hand. look for the right rope for SRS.
There is a company that had a few Goldenwest Lawnmower in Stanton CA. if you still can't find it you might try this ua-cam.com/video/BcCjEBrwxpQ/v-deo.htmlsi=YucW0JHE5SawuNlt
You should be able to find the (Shizll) at Bishop Company, Treesfuff or Sherrilltree. Maybe an online shearch arborist supply commpanies may also have it.
It deepens on what you choose for components. If you buy one that is already set up it may cost about $200.00 the one in this video was about $90.00. If you already have rope and clips on hand it could be much less. Hope this helps.
Hi Bino- I was wondering how you ended up liking the Shizll? How do you find it performs overall vs a pulley? Would you recommend it overall? Or maybe just for certain situations? Thanks! It's very cool looking!
It works very well. I like for a regular lanyard. I almost always us a 2 n lanyard and with that system I like a pulley more. Noah likes the lanyard with the Shizll more because he likes how light weight and the way it tends. You're welcom.
Being a retired lineman I found this very interesting & brought back some good memories 😊 THANKS

It all depends on how you wear it. Inspecting it and when there is damage that's the time to change it out.

Hey Bino I like too see if you could use a pretzel pulling as a micro pulley?

Cool I've never used one.
Hello .great video......can I used a plastic thimbal on my spli eye climbing rope .that will be on the carabiner that goes to the zigzag plus
I'm not sure if is necessary at that point. If you are tying a termination not you would be able to install one if you wanted.

Aloha
Thank you! Take care!
@@BinoH you too brother 🤙
Bino, what is another name for the Shizll? I cannot find this product on Amazon
Try Bishop Company or TreeStuff. It might not be on Amazon.
Tree stuff
Try googling "Shizll Rope Slider" , which should take you to a company called Tree Stuff who sell it...
Just for my own head, having a clip on the non-working end of your lanyard would function as an added piece of mind. I’m sure it wouldn’t matter. Maybe just to keep me a bit less nervous 😂
Great point!
Love the shezal! How mush do they coast?
You might try a web search but it looks like it may be about 50 dollars.
Can I use 8mm prusik with 1/2 inch climb line to make my lanyard
Yes that will work.
What size rope is recommended? Like a 1/2 inch? And what size is the shizill?
Yes a 1/2 will work the rope in this video is 11mm.
Thank you. What If I wanted to make one that was bi directional so I could have a biner in both ends. What type of knot would I use.
The English prussik works good for me. I made a video on a 2 and 1 lanyard and with that type I use a micro pulley instead of a Shzll.
i dig the shizel looks nicer than the micro pulley
But can you use one without saying fo shizel my nizel?
The section starting at 3:31 to 4:30. Could you show that again? I had a hard time following that prussic setup.
Or maybe you have it better explained on another video?
I have a video called how to tie the Michoacan. that is the hitch I used.
What is small ring for slide prusik.Whare you buy.
It's called a Shizll. You might try to do a web search.
Thank you.
Dear bino
I have a question about rope that it's must be a dynamic rope or it's must be static or low static rope
Thanks a lot
You can make it with either but a static line is more stiff so the knots may be a little more difficult to tie.
Thank you Bino!
You're welcome
Great stuff. Thanks for continuing to post and share. I use some of these skills you teach on my channel.
Thank you!
HEY MAN DOES THE PRUSIK ROPE HAVE TO BE SMALLER DIAMETER THAN THE MAIN ROPE ? OR CAN THEY BOTH BE THE SAME ?
@@Lifeinparadise17 yes it has to smaller diameter.
@ THANKS
If I want to make the prusik by myself (not a pre-sawed), how should I do it?
Should it be a double eye version, or a prusik loop?
Thanks!
If you are using a carabiner, it would be better to use an eye to eye. If you are using a clip with a solid eye you could use a loop. You want to have a rated prusik cord.
@@BinoH thank you!
@@BinoH could you not just make a prussik cord with a small section of rated climbing rope, and tie 2 double fisherman bends on the tails to clip into your carabiner? A little bulky but would definitely work.
You mentioned that knot is a single direction knot, but could you should have to build one of these that could be used for a 2-in-1 lanyard? Thanks for the help love your videos
You could make a 2 and 1 lanyard but with the Shizll and a one direction knot you can only tend in one direction. I have seen where a guy used 2 shizll's and 2 knots on a 2 and 1 lanyard. Myself I like to use a English Purssik and a removable micro pulley on a 2 and 1 lanyard.
Very well presented. Thanks.
Nice! Bino what's the diameter of the fly rope looks very close to the prussic s
It's 11mm
Hello Bino, I used an Ocean 8mm x 24 inch eye-to-eye prusik Michipocan on my 1/2 inch Samson Arbormaster Blue Streak lanyard and it was not binding under tension. I used a CMI micropulley instead of shizll. Do you think the prusik, lanyard, or operator error is/are the issue? I will swap out the 8mm for a 10mm x 28-inch Bee-line. Thank you!
Is the cord new? if it's new you may need to wear is some. You might try another hitch or if you can add a extra wrap.
@@BinoH Thanks Bino. I replaced the 8mm with a 10mm michopocan. Its raining here so if that doesn't work I will break it in some more.

$ 90.00 to make. Thank you!
@@BinoH BIG thanks Bino, appreciate the info.
I’m trying to find a place to buy the shizel. I read that you bought it all at Bishop but if I search their website for that it has nothing. Any help would be appreciated
@@TGRUBB777 try this at Bishop company (SHIZLL) . if you can't find it there try Tree Stuff.
@@BinoH thank you. I was spelling it wrong.
I'm curious about the snaps. Since I'll be making my own lanyard as per one of your videos, I've been researching which snaps I want to buy. Are these made by ProClimber from Pelican Rope Works? What make and model? When I read the reviews for the ISC two and three lock snap hooks, some people were stating that lock parts are getting bent, which causes sticking. I want to be safe with whatever I decide on. Thanks Bino!
The one I used VER Aluminum. I bought it at Bishop Company.
How strong is the rope?
The red one is 6,000 pounds and the prusik cord is 6,294 pounds.
Thanks great idea!!!
Thank you!
Hi if you don’t mind me asking how much money would it cost me to get started climbing srt?
Do you already have a climbing system?
Bino H I do not have anything yet I want to do the srs setup I watched you mrs vs srs video and I already had my mind set on the srs I know from your video it will cost more. I’m looking on amazon for prices is there anywhere else I can shop for bargains?
@@billynix289 I wouldn't look on amazon it would be better to buy from an Arborist supply company. It is life support and you can be sure if you buy from an Arborsst supply company it will be rated to use for climbing. Here are some companies Bishop company, Tree Stuff, Sherill Tree, West Spur, Weaver Arborist, or look for an Arborist supply company in your area. Don't buy anything second hand. look for the right rope for SRS.
Bino H hi again I was wandering if I send you this video if you could remake it to show us here at home for beginners how it works?
Awesome
Thank you!
Where can I get a Shizll ?
I'm not sure anymore the company where I bought mine explained that the vender discontinued it. You might be able to find it on a web serch.
Im finding it very difficult to find that Shizll for sale anywhere. Or even the company that makes it. Why is this such a mystery unit???
There is a company that had a few Goldenwest Lawnmower in Stanton CA. if you still can't find it you might try this ua-cam.com/video/BcCjEBrwxpQ/v-deo.htmlsi=YucW0JHE5SawuNlt
What diameter is the fly rope? Can this specification be a variable?
It's 11mm. If you mean the rope diameter yes it's you choice. As long as it's a rope rated for climbing.
Thanks Bino. Your information is appreciated.
Tqvm sir.....
You're welcome!
Ditto on the Shizzle. I want one.
It is pretty cool.
Are both ropes the same size
The Pussik cord is 10MM and the Rope is 11MM.
@@BinoH thank you
I damaged my climbing rope and have about a 25 ft section i want to do this to.
You wil be able to make to your liking!
Where can I get shizl's?
You should be able to find the (Shizll) at Bishop Company, Treesfuff or Sherrilltree. Maybe an online shearch arborist supply commpanies may also have it.
is it cheaper to make your own or just buy one
It deepens on what you choose for components. If you buy one that is already set up it may cost about $200.00 the one in this video was about $90.00. If you already have rope and clips on hand it could be much less. Hope this helps.
Great Idea! What size rope do you use? 5/8" or 1/2"?
In this video I'm using 11mm for the lanyard and 10mm for the prussik cord. Thank you!
No, No... Thank you for the great advice! I am going to order me some 5/8" rope and use your idea! Be safe my friend, and thank you so much!
@@Chasfoo Oh I see. thank you!
@@BinoH Your welcome Sir! Where can I find the ocean prusic and dog bone you've used in the video?
Sorry Shizel.
Hi Bino- I was wondering how you ended up liking the Shizll? How do you find it performs overall vs a pulley? Would you recommend it overall? Or maybe just for certain situations? Thanks! It's very cool looking!
It works very well. I like for a regular lanyard. I almost always us a 2 n lanyard and with that system I like a pulley more. Noah likes the lanyard with the Shizll more because he likes how light weight and the way it tends. You're welcom.
@@BinoH Awesome! Thanks, Bino! I will pick one up on my next TreeStuff order :)
Alguien que diga cómo se llama la figura como tipo 8
Barrel knot.
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
@@BinoH Welcome! New to climbing and tree work and your videos are very helpful.
@@kenveal5529 I'm glad to hear it. Be safe!
