    Another great vid, but It really sucks when you pony redirect and your gear gets caught on something when pulling it through.

    • @BartlettArboristSupply
      @BartlettArboristSupply  Рік тому +1

      Give the Ghost Redirect a try. Pretty much the same thing except you pull on the splice end (after having locked it with a slip) and it sends the system up, until it has passed the branch union; follow by pulling the leg of rope that you are rerouting to.

    is it a good idea to attach termination end straight to your saddle instead attaching it to the pulley?

    • @BartlettArboristSupply
      @BartlettArboristSupply  4 місяці тому +1

      Nope, it can be done as you questioned, however pay attention to the carabiner orientation as you climb. It may shift around as you slack tend and if one is not vigilant, the potential for incorrect orientation is great.

    I’m new to the open rope system I know and seen how to get the friction saver up in the truck and get my climbing road up and what not but what’s the best way to retrieve the friction saver after your done climbing

    • @BartlettArboristSupply
      @BartlettArboristSupply  6 місяців тому +1

      Retrieval is fairly simple. Use the appropriate retrieval cone, ball, or XSRE carabiner and the friction saver comes down to the ground. However, if you would like to soft retrieve the friction saver, there are two simple methods. The first one includes draping throw line on a branch union above the friction saver and tied to it. The second involves using the bitter end of the rope and a carabiner, it is a bit to explain but here is a link to the video that will demonstrate just that ➡️ ua-cam.com/video/MokveyFAjQM/v-deo.htmlsi=yfEfLGS4nlI6hLJX

    • @BartlettArboristSupply
      @BartlettArboristSupply  Рік тому +1

      It's recommended to always run moving rope through a friction saver, however there are many who run moving rope without the friction saver. Depending on the rope construction, will dictate how the rope will react and last.

      Looks very similar to the knut. I could not find a single reference to the catalyone hitch anywhere online and found a single youtube video on the catalyone hitch which is probably where he learned it. I would not trust my life to this hitch unless it has a different name with a trusted history.

      @@jayltd.7030 Barebones moving rope system is called "DRT" most of the time... Can be as simple as one single climbing rope tied into all of the configurations necessary to ascend and descend and work the tree. However, that type of caveman DRT is extremely taxing on the body, as well as slow. What he's done here, makes it very much more expedient and easy on the body.
