That's a great technique. I've been looking for something like this. I will give this a try. This is like the rope Walker system tree climbers use to rope walk up a rope, but instead, you used the tree. Nice idea, can't wait to see the next video.
Very interesting. I'm more of a smalller guy at 5'9" 165lbs. I can see this being a great method for me. Easy, quick, and quiet. Most people are already slinging a linesman belt or sliding their tether up the tree so, this could be one of the quietest methods out. The fiddle factor is almost non existent and the whole system is pretty much self explanatory. Nice video sir. Looking forward to a more in depth review of your set and gear.
Scott, this is incredible. Good job. Can you provide info/names of the indigenous peoples you learned this from? Can you break down, list and link the components of your system and so a step by step construct, please? If not specific make/model then the specifications/features you're looking for. Outstanding.
I don't have the name of any specific indigenous people but you can find very crude climbing techniques using cordage all around the globe. These techniques probably go back thousands of years. I myself would like to have more information on them. It does amaze me how the past inspires to create and to advance, like the blow gun became an air gun or the bow became a crossbow or the wheel became a wagon and eventually the car. At this time I can't give you any other information, but if you have any access to all types of climbing techniques, it would greatly be appreciated.
I feel like this system is very unique and it looks well on camra you have a verry market able system. I have looked at alot of ways to get up a tree and this one by far seems the lightest and quietest. The only thing is its kind of what I call a very in volved sysyem. Meaning there is 2 more straps, two more items to manipulate up the tree. Which is ok. how is the learning curve for this system is?
The best way I would know how to explain that is, a lot of climbing techniques do require practice or getting use to it. The best example I can think of is climbing spikes. If you've ever used climbing spikes, it's an odd feeling when you first begin climbing with them to feel how your feet feel standing on that one pivoting point, or how when you're standing on spikes, when a person gets afraid has a tendency to pull themselves closer to the tree which can cause the spikes to kick out and I've seen a lot of guys get scratched up from sliding down a tree. But with some practice a person gets very comfortable with spikes. I like them because they are a fast method of climbing but they're not legal everywhere because they do do damage to the tree. I hope I was able to help. Thanks
That is as slick as snot on a door knob. How does it work on rough barked trees? How about going around limbs? Legit questions. It looks like for the type of tree you have there to be real simple and fast.
I can climb maple, sycamore, poplar, beach trees, all pretty much at this speed. Oaks, walnuts, hickory, wild cherry, I probably need about 20 more seconds. Going around limbs requires 2 more caribiners added to the system which intend on showing in a future video. But the next video I'm working on, I will be showing how I use the system with a saddle. I'm trying to keep as much metal out of the system as possible for it's stealthiness. I prefer 8-12" trees but I have now climbed 18-20" trees. I use to hunt out of a climber all the time so in the area where I live I don't have a problem climbing trees with limbs that are higher than 30'. Thanks for commenting and watching.
@@scottadkins3771 We're all interested in how to make the rig you're using and how to address limbs and rough bark issues. Keep them coming. Great video!
Scott you have a great idea for those who hunt tree`s with no limbs, is it possible you could make a foot strap on your right leg instead of going around your leg above the knee? Maybe make your next video with a saddle,get someone to do the video work, and please please get a patent on that, before someone steals your idea and makes money on your work!! Great job!!
I'm gonna be putting out a video soon where I discuss everything that goes into the making of this system. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching

Can't wait for your saddle video.
I have saddle and would love to add this to my system.
You were very smooth and quick there.
U made that look real easy
I love watching this.
I have been playing with style of climbing for two years now. But my rope does not slide up trees that easy. What rope do you use my friend?
Very nice.
Very interesting.

That's an excellent way to get up a tree. I'm wondering what you use for steps or a platform once you're up the tree and sitting in your saddle?
Fantastic!
Thanks and thanks for watching
Thats awesome
Mr. Adkins, you have to do a video of how you made this! Please!
I too would like to see what he uses and how to make it

Thanks for the advice. A saddle video is coming soon. Thanks for watching.
What are u using
Do you have a video on the details of the system you used in this video?
Hey Wyatt. I have all my videos posted on my Facebook blog. Just search for, two tether climbing system. Thanks
Where can you get the gear for this? I can't find it anywhere!
You make it out of rope it’s pretty much two tree tethers
The Scott Adkins Climbing System
Why left side has two loops on belt you only use one to put foot in it flop or you stuff in boot
My next video will answer this question. Thanks for commenting and watching
How long are the ropes
The tether ropes are about 6 and half feet finished. Thanks
can you do a video on your foot loop
I'm gonna be putting out a video soon where I discuss everything that goes into the making of this system. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching
@@scottadkins3771 awesome can't wait to see it.
wait.... why isnt this the only way?? this is amazing
Thanks
How ya like me now !!!
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.
And barley broke a sweat at that,,not even breathing hard👍🏻
