Great landyard idea for diy..I did mine the same way and luv it. Thankyou very much for showing how it was made up. Stay safe climbing out there,safety has no shortcuts.
I just started using the same setup but with pinto pulley as my primary slack tender and shizl rope slider for second end, many uses as you described but I am also enjoying the advantage of tying into two stems to aid positioning and when using the DMM Captain hook on one end of the lanyard I have the ability to secure with the second end once having made the traverse
Good video mate, the one thing you forgot was to take up the slack on your shoe laces, stop you falling when you are standing on the ground, still a good man onya mate cheers
i love it i use the micro persic on my climbing line some what simaler wish my guys could understand they stil cary 2 flips with a sender. and blake on climbing line
Thanks Derrick. Is that a knut hitch you're using? I use a 15' lanyard and I was thinking of going shorter and clipping into a prusik, but two things keep me from doing it; I lose the mechanical advantage of ddrt and the remote retrieval aspect. My lanyard does get in the way a lot...maybe I'lll try those clips. THanks again for posting
i believe its the michocan (i normally call it the closed blakes. Were a blakes is normally 4wraps up 2. This is 5 wraps up, then up and thru the bottom wrap.) clear as mud? This lanyard is about 15'. You can use up the whole thing just like a normal lanyard, but the option is there to use the other end when needed. The clips are awesome though.
countryboypa31 wow,you have the main hitch and then two other hitch options...I'll try this out. Also, this is the first I've heard of the shizll...in place of a pruisk minder pulley? I climb as much on my lanyard as I do on my climbing line once i'm in the tree. Thanks for the info!
Most excellent tips thank you very much never heard or knew about that thing you called the Schiesel something LOL I'll look it up really appreciate the tip on UA-cam though.
great idea i like the versatility. one ? what do you do for big trees i would run out of rope with your system every other day? do you have a second setup
I think had a carabine with pulley like that http2.mlstatic.com/mosqueto-hms-aluminio-trava-rosca-24-kn-com-polia-integrada-D_NQ_NP_680756-MLB31136681439_062019-F.webp
For the micro prusik I tied a sliding double fisherman's knot using a little over 2 feet of 5mm cord, slid the knot to make a large loop for the prusik and a tiny loop for clipping into a carabiner. It's easier if you use a larger piece of rope and tighten everything really snug before making the final cut.
Thanks for that Info ! Bought one today with sewn eyes at each end with the Rook pulley and black beeline prussic ! Tri-tech is nice ! Which saddle is that ? Thanks Derrick.
I'm using a scaffold knot, also sometimes called a double fishermans. Great knot, very reliable. That is the best for that application. The anchor knot or the buntline could be used in this application as well.
countryboypa31 Thanks. Has it been pretty durable for you. It looks super functional the way it set up. Looks to have a lot of atteachment points. great vid by the way. thanks
It's a the wrap prussic with hrc using double fisherman's to create a loop. I tried doing it again and couldn't get it to grab reliably, so if recommend a 4 our 5 wrap prussic

Just an extra prussik! That's smart!
Good job dad love you
Love you too bud!
Best comment 😃
looks good. interesting about the hand-saw cut resistant core

I would love to see a thorough walk through on how to build this lanyard.
Booma - best straight to the point overview and smart lanyard - thanks so much for posting - I just subscribed

Ok. This is brilliant. Nice job and thank you for sharing it!
I do this idea now on all my lanyards. Good bit of kit bro.
Nice flip lanyard
This is a great system! Just have to get use to it
That's awesome wish I could get 1on1 training. 49yrs old with spine & neck problems are holding me back. I do what I can when I can. Great setup boss.
I do training seminar for companies. Where you located?

This is cool as hell man! Great way to do it and good exploratory video too!
This man is a real pro.

Great video I made one watching this.
Awesome video, Thank you and God bless
Nice vid Derrick. Well thought out and implemented.
thank you! great advantage, i will extend my own system in this way. Brilliant.
Yay ! I have this lanyard now but with a rooke pulley for tending prussic ! What make of saddle you using ? Thnx.
very interesting, thank you for sharing
Good stuff bro. Thank you!
very good mister
i love it i use the micro persic on my climbing line some what simaler wish my guys could understand they stil cary 2 flips with a sender. and blake on climbing line
My wire core flip always gives me the peace of mind when doing removals
Looks like a very practical and safe setup; good job!! Can you tell me the brand of harness you're using? Thanks
Awesome!, thanks!
Sweet lanyard
Thanks for video i want to make one now
Nice video. Thanks!
Thanks for the videos. I just put this on my saddle, love it.

Shizzl I think it is spelled. From the Netherlands
David Mc Donald thanks ! I found them at tree stuff look fwd to using it.

Very nice
Thank you!
God bless man
Excellent
I love the idea of tending without pulley! And the micro Prusik is a nice idea, but why not just clip around the rope?
I think had a carabine with pulley like that http2.mlstatic.com/mosqueto-hms-aluminio-trava-rosca-24-kn-com-polia-integrada-D_NQ_NP_680756-MLB31136681439_062019-F.webp
Thanks!
This is a great lanyard. Building one myself. One question, how did you make your micro prusik?
I make mine with a double fisherman to make the loop and he's using a double prussic knot to attach to the lanyard.
Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 day
Awesome setup and where did you get the protos int hat color seen them in uk market but not american!
Thanks for all the inspiratoon here and elsewhere .... your 'micro prussic' , hard to see from the video how to tie ... any tips ?
I was just trying to figure that out too. This is a very informative video.
For the micro prusik I tied a sliding double fisherman's knot using a little over 2 feet of 5mm cord, slid the knot to make a large loop for the prusik and a tiny loop for clipping into a carabiner. It's easier if you use a larger piece of rope and tighten everything really snug before making the final cut.
very nice....
im curious which harness are you using in this video? it looks like a good one.
Clever stuff👍🏻
Thanks for that Info ! Bought one today with sewn eyes at each end with the Rook pulley and black beeline prussic ! Tri-tech is nice ! Which saddle is that ? Thanks Derrick.
Excelente
I been trying to save up to get that deal you got there.
240... Nice set up. What kind of cord are you using for when you convert into your single line set up?
Very nice man! What's the cost of that rig? How often do you wish it were longer, if ever? Great post!!
What is length of your lanyard, please?
very smart
wrili cool system
Send this idea to tree stuff!
Does anyone know where I could buy a small prussik or really small eye to eye like the one on the tail end of his line?
how you like those Everest's?
I use similar setup👍🏻
💯💯💯💯💯
What saddle is that???
Two points of contact is zero if one of them breaks? Are you sure? This is scary.
If your waist-point breaks, you're dangling by your legs or falling out of your harness. if your leg-point breaks, your waist-point is all you've got.
how long is your lanyard your using? thanks
An you show how to make this
What knot is that on the ends
scaffold
Very nice, I need one, would you make me one?
What kinda harness are you using?
That saddle is the edelrid treemagic. Unfortunately it's not in production anymore
What knot are you using on rope snap? What other knots will work?
I'm using a scaffold knot, also sometimes called a double fishermans. Great knot, very reliable. That is the best for that application. The anchor knot or the buntline could be used in this application as well.
The knot I used is a scaffold knot. Sometimes also called a double fishermans. That's the only knot id recommend for the sterling tri-Tec
Where do you get this stuff?
I got everything on treestuff.com
I got everything from treestuff.com.
Just wondering what saddle you are using here
Its a TreeMagic. Love that saddle, so light but yet comfortable.
countryboypa31 Thanks. Has it been pretty durable for you. It looks super functional the way it set up. Looks to have a lot of atteachment points. great vid by the way. thanks
I'm your son
Why does it seem like all tree climbers do a lot of talking and move so fast it is hard to keep up
Bro that lanyards and those prusiks look like I blind kid made It wtf is that
This is a great lanyard. Building one myself. One question, how did you make your micro prusik?
Did you figure out how to tie the micro prusik Steven?
It's a the wrap prussic with hrc using double fisherman's to create a loop. I tried doing it again and couldn't get it to grab reliably, so if recommend a 4 our 5 wrap prussic
