Hi Bino, I wanted to say Thanks. I did my first climb on a tree on a rope today. Got to use the ISC UltraLink (revised one), making sure I was not side-loading it. Everything went well :) Many thanks, your videos helped. Cheers
Good morning Bino. Blair here. As you probably know, I don’t focus videos on knots, gear or climbing technique. My focus is on the trees and understanding why you prune. Also helping to identify hazards. When people ask me questions that you focus on, I direct them to you.
Thanks for all your videos. Could you do a video recommending carabiners by size and shape. Also could you recommend rope thickness for beginner Mrs systems. In a split tail is it better to have a slightly smaller diameter rope for the split tail. What type friction cords do you recommend and should they be no thicker than 75 percent of rope size. How long is optimal. Which friction hitch is best? I see you like Michoacán, but it wasn’t a choice for the test. I don’t expect a direct answer to all of this, but maybe you could incorporate some answers in future videos. Thanks again!
Awesome video as usual Bino! Did you consider with a basal anchor ⚓️ you're doubling the weight over the branch your hanging from bc its being pulled down on both sides of the rope, your weight is on both the terminal side anchored to you and its on the standing side anchored to the tree 🌳.
Thanks Bino. Great video. What's your thoughts on using a figure 8 follow through instead? I can do them blindfolded and it's almost impossible to muck up.
No I have thought about using a figure eight follow through for a base anchor. If I'm not using hardware I would rather use this Running Yosemite Bowline.
@@BinoH Thanks Bino. I've always not wanted to trust the bowline with my life. I shall practice the bowline with the Yosemite finish and the double fishermans for the tail.
Base Anchor, Canopy Anchor and Spar Anchor are not rigging situations there will be no dynamic loading and it is your body weight. Rope on Rope in this situation is not dangerous.
@@HannahConley-q7v it's simple: a rope can be cut by another rope if one moves and the other is still. Bino creates a loop with any knot and the rope that "normally" moves up and down in a carabiner/ring/metalthingweusetoavoidropeonrope now moves into the loop in the exact same spot for all the ascent. That's why I specified that we use it too but on short ascents where the friction is limited in time.

Well done!
fantastic explanation of how to do the knots thank you .
Thanks! I hope it helps!

Good morning Blair, Thank you for that. I've sent people your way also you have great information regarding tree care. Take care!
Very informative Bino !
Thank you!
Good video. I use the Yosemite a lot
Thanks for sharing!
anothe great tip for a safe way to be secure while in the tree ..
Joe
Thanks 👍
Thanks for this video Bino, it's a very useful one
Glad to hear that! take care!
EXCELLENT WALK THROUGH THANK YOU
You're welcome!
thanks a lot,quite useful for my current work!
Good to hear!

Yes that is something to remember especially if you are anchoring on a horizontal branch.
Thanks Bino
You're welcome!
ce superbe noeud s appele un noeud de chaise en france , le bonjour a toi bino ! salutations
I didn't know that here in America It's a Bowline with a Yosemite finish. Take care!
Thanks Bino. Great video. What's your thoughts on using a figure 8 follow through instead? I can do them blindfolded and it's almost impossible to muck up.
Figure 8 is a little bulky, knot can get stuck in tree work, and difficult to untie after shock loading is what I've heard.

@@BinoH Thanks Bino. I've always not wanted to trust the bowline with my life. I shall practice the bowline with the Yosemite finish and the double fishermans for the tail.
Gonna give this a try. I use a Petzal quick link. Need to know just in case my quick link walks off.
Nice good luck. take care!

@@BinoH Thanks!
I like my rope laying horizontal on the base
Yes your right less chance of it creeping.
We use this more often than we should, but on a quick ascent could be acceptable cause we should remember that rope on rope is dangerous!
Could you enlighten me on the rope on rope being dangerous for srt?
