I commend you for continually being willing to share the basics with the new climbers and help them stay safe as they advance their skills.That is the key that allows them to follow their dreams in the tree world.
A comprehensive guide for beginners is something I very much look forward to checking out. Count me in! I’ve recently started climbing this spring (weekend warrior) and I find myself getting to a point where I’m comfortable in the tree, but wanting to streamline certain things: for example, work positioning and moving around in the canopy. As someone who doesn’t do this full-time and spend hours each day in a tree, these types of resources are very useful. I look forward to your video and appreciate the time and effort spent educating.
Very informative with all the pros and cons of each method! As a hobby climber/arborist who uses DRT I am drooling over a Roper Runner Pro and implementing SRT for when the canopy starts 10+ meters up in the air. My only concern is that my biceps won't be getting the same workouts as with only doing DRT.
Josiah, I'm glad you are listing Amazon affiliate links in your video description. I buy more gear as I get more experience, and am happy to use your links. Your videos have made the most sense to me versus other UA-camrs. Make sure you list all your gear in each video. Both the specific gear demonstrated in the video as well as the gear you typically use all the time. ...and make sure you link to any video of yours that may be useful! You don't want us searching around or relying on UA-cam's suggestions algorithm... When you mention throwing the line up, link to the videos you've done in that! When you talk about canopy anchors, link to the video on the 3 common anchors (alpine butterfly, Notch Quickie, etc). Out the links in the description so we don't click on them during the current video. 👍
I personally don't like base anchors I feel a lot safer using the canopy also you don't have to isolate a limb/branch when anchoring srt/srs sometimes I'll set my anchor around a few branches and advance the line as I reach my tie in point and I'd highly recommend the notch quickie shackle designed so it can't be side loaded it makes your climb safer and all around easier it can be used for so many applications but works amazing for canopy anchors
Do you recommend any types of slingshots for placing throw bags? Should a person get a larger one for longer distances and a smaller one (arm/wrist held) for shorter throws? I haven't found a video on this topic yet - appreciate your suggestions -
I enjoy your videos. I have a quick question. I have been climbing for years with just a single lanyard. Now that I am getting older, I think about safety a little more. I know that I should use a secondary lanyard with a choker end. What set up would you recommend. looking for something effective but not bulky or something that slows you down to much.
Do you (will you, please) address how to use your climbing line as a double tie-in (e.g. choking it off on the spar)? Also... do you (will you, please) address how to use a base anchor (i.e. separate rope) as a tie-in to a MRS system? Thanks!
I generally do not use my climb system as a secondary tie in as well. I can, and have but generally I have a second system that is short that I use as a secondary TIP.
Let's say I spurred my way up the tree my primary tie in is my klimair 2 in 1 flipline and I am about to cut. Is there an inexpensive second tie in method that doesn't use the Petzl zig zag? The zig zag is expensive and if I had to buy a climbing device in the future it would probably be the rope runner 2.
For DRT systems, you can replace the Petzl Zig zag with a simple friction hitch and a micro pulley. That do the same work that the zig zag. The zig zag is only a mechanical device that helps you in different ways but it's no necessary at all
@@xpumax1 What do you think about Blaze 2-in-1 Eye & Eye Flipline Kit for $66? it is on the Wes Spur site www.wesspur.com/fliplines/2-in-1-fliplines.html
@@joeshmo5399 It's seems nice, but i do my own lanyards, with a piece of rope, a friction hitch, a micro pulley and two carabiners. It very ecconomic, and there is a lot of video in youtube of how to do it.
Wouldn’t you need a MRS to set up someone’s SRS ? Since your tie in point is the most highest and safest lead their is, because no one is throwing a bag to the lead so high up , that’ll be impossible and spend all day trying on that

Thanks, teaching is what I do :)
@@Stridertrees You do it very well.
You're a natural. 👍👍
Absolutely! Keep up the amazing work. Stay safe and Climb Strong.
Now this is the proper way to teach arborist climbing, including the white board....excellent. I'll be watching more of these Strider videos.
Nice video. I need to work on my knots for sure.😂
Whiteboard time was extremely helpful. Great pace on the knots. Software developer that just knows fisherman’s, bowline, and tendon hitch

Looking forward to the entire class. Thanks for doing this.
Love seeing you give back to the community. Keep it brother
Thanks buddy..I'm leaning g a LOT from you...GRACIAS. .I'm Spanic ..means ..Thank you from your teachings
more excellent explanations, looking forward to your class, you're a great teacher.

That’s some good media marketing advice ;)
Great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I’ve been tying the running bow with the double fishermans since seeing it in one of your past videos and I love it thanks
Nice 👍🏼 it’s a great way to keep it safe
Nice one, going to give it a try myself
Thank you!!!
Cool to see you up at the ranch man you sold me on the protos vs kask! Keep the channel movin!
Good to see you too! I’m sure you won’t regret getting that helmet :)

Youre an awesome teacher mane!

1st! Love your videos..keep them coming
@stridertrees I went to the site and didn’t see any training vids - are they available somewhere?
You should do a video comparing the bola lanyard adjuster vs the hipster by Thompson tree gear
Thanks alot for your amazing explanation. Can we use only a fisherman knot to anchor just like figure eight as you showed?
Wonderful advice. Thankyou.
Thanks for doing this video. Much appreciated! I'll definitely check your website out.
Love the videos!
For the base anchor is it possible to make 2 butterfly knot and attach them together with carabiner ?
Appreciate the information
How is a base anchor simpler than a canopy anchor?
Great video! I noticed in one of your videos you had your Silky attached to the back of your harness. Did this require any extra hardware?
I enjoy your videos. I have a quick question. I have been climbing for years with just a single lanyard. Now that I am getting older, I think about safety a little more. I know that I should use a secondary lanyard with a choker end. What set up would you recommend. looking for something effective but not bulky or something that slows you down to much.
Double ended lanyard helps keep me safe. I think called 2 in one lanyard.
Do you (will you, please) address how to use your climbing line as a double tie-in (e.g. choking it off on the spar)?

@@Stridertrees Thank you.
Hello! Is this beginner course still available on skillshare?
Unfortunately Skillshare wouldn’t let me post then course I had in mind ! So I’ll have to get it up on my website

The RR pro is a great device. Versatile simple, safe 👍🏼 can’t go wrong with it
@@Stridertrees While not inexpensive it would be my next step towards rope climbing... I was just hoping you had one of those fancy knot ideas:)
For DRT systems, you can replace the Petzl Zig zag with a simple friction hitch and a micro pulley. That do the same work that the zig zag. The zig zag is only a mechanical device that helps you in different ways but it's no necessary at all

Choose one that doesn't break
Compair the Unicender to the rope tench pro bud.
Never heard of that device.
@@Stridertrees ha ha ha. Spell check bud sorry man. The unicender and wope wrench pro.
@@Vic-wi2qx roperunner ? Or the new notch fusion tether ?
