Not a tree climber, but what an amazing demonstration with simple equipment. Needed this to set a camping tarp ridgeline higher without a ladder. Thanks for your humble presentation.
I've built a similar system out of predator rope, but it's not as easy as it looks to climb. I got a crotch full of tree the first time i tried it. Leaning trees are no fun! If you mess around and let that top tether drop down over the lower one and lose control of it, you're in a world of do-do!
Hi Jerry. Greetings from Northern Ontario, Canada. Could you tell me, how important is it to use full bury rope? Is there any other option, such as up sizing diameter? Is there a way I could make my own full bury rope? Can’t find any videos on how to do this. Would really love to go to a light weight system like yours. This old guy is getting tired of lugging heavy packs through the bush.
This is so awesome. I've been waiting for someone to perfect what Scott Adkins has been doing also. Are you planning on selling this and/or your saddles?
I like it so far except one thing: You keep doing and undoing the left foot on the loop. That is too much trouble especially in the dark going both up and down. How do you improve the system so you don't have to do that?
Nice setup. How do you deal with cold weather though? I generally wear minimalist clothing on the hike in but often hunt in below freezing temps - the leg strap would need to be pretty big to fit over the fanatic bibs and couldn't be worn in. Perhaps an adjustable strap could be added instead of the elastic?
Real nice demo Jerry. Just the right balance of concise, too the point info and action.

I can tell you have put a lot of thought into that system. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for posting this!! This will be my next iteration of climbing methods for saddlehunting! TG for you and RedBeard!!!
You've come a long way since we've talked last summer! My setup is a dinosaur now😉

I think it’s awesome, but it might be louder that climbing sticks , but I still want one !
I’d love to purchase this setup I know I couldn’t make something as good looking
Sweet setup. Have you seen Scott Atkins' two tether method?

What keeps the leg loop from riding up? Is it tight around your leg?
Do you use a platform once you're at hunting height?

I can't comprehend what is the benefit of a leg loop over a second foot loop. Can anyone enlighten me?
How long does it usually take you to get up to 18-20 ft?
I'd buy this complete set up.. you interested in selling this set up minus the bag?

looks like an accident waiting to happen when you need to wrap your leg around the tree to raise your support line.
