JRB Hitch Climbing 2024, Tree Climbing Demonstration

- Опубліковано 30 чер 2024
- JRB Hitch Climbing is a rope based climbing method which does not involve the use of a throwball. It was devised by JRB and introduced earlier on the JRB Hitch Climbing Playlist. This video explains the details of the improvements made since the system was introduced. See JrbTreeClimbing.com for Rope and Cord recommendations and discounts. Related Videos:

Outstanding. By the way, as someone who is looking at alternative ways to put meat on the table, I've been learning about the ancient practice of "pollarding", which was used heavily by the Romans and many prior to procure "tree hay", I'm very happy to inform you that you have perhaps unknowingly assisted many to come after us who may be interested also in trimming trees for animal feed (perhaps even deer?) This is VERY significant, given what I know about the susceptibility of our power grid to solar storms now that our magnetic shield is significantly weaker..."Bravo" is an understatement. Respect!!!
Yes! This is the one I've been waiting for!
@VTPharaoh7 sorry to keep you waiting, but I like to test everything thoroughly. And the new bridges and Garda improvements helped enable this.
Looks like with the short waist level bridge, after advancing/raising the Garda, you are actually PULLING the Compact Longhorn to about chest level as you stand, instead of pushing the hitch to arms length above your head, perhaps giving the climber a steadier more balanced feeling of equilibrium, interesting improvement, looks like a natural smooth action, I will give this a test with my hitch rig. Thanks John, keep em coming! The UNIVERSAL system is great but I am liking two distinct ropes, one for exploring new areas- dedicated HITCH SRT ROPE, 4 hitches , (2 foot loops, 2 ascenders) - and a dedicated DSRT ROPE , ( 3 ascenders plus Garda ), for returning to favored known trees.
That is a good observation. The purpose is twofold: 1. to get as high as possible, thus maximizing the span of each move. 2. to make sure that when we get to the top of our move, we are being held at a comfortable distance from the tree, making it comfortable and stable to stand there and rig our next hitch.
@@jrbtc yes! Thank you for your response and explanation. Haven’t had a chance to test a change in my hitch tactics since this last JRB tutorial, but will soon, down here in Mississippi our season starts Oct 1, we are on a countdown! Only three months to get all set.
Thank you again, John!
Look foward to more!
Enjoying the climb!
Great video, John! Who's behind the camera? Someday I hope I can find someone to film me. It would be really helpful. Filming myself all the time is a PITA.
Since starting my channel, I have taken advantage of too many of my best friends to shoot my vids. I had a new camera operator for this one, who is a neighbor and aspiring content producer. He did a great job. I am hoping to work with him on some more projects soon.
@@jrbtc I would agree. He did a fine job with this video! I would suggest that you next start filming in 4K if possible so that you can film with a wide frame of view and zoom in during post production/editing anytime you want to get in close without the footage looking under-pixelated and fuzzy. That's my next move as a videographer and content creator.
But 4K also means enormous file sizes and if you don't have enough RAM on your computer, your computer will lag. I have 16GB of RAM and a great GPU, so I'm fine. But if you use something like Premiere Pro by Adobe, which is what I use, you can use a proxy and edit it at half or even quarter the quality so it doesn't lag and then render/export it in 4K. Just some thoughts.
Looks like you mostly go for the natural look with very minimal editing. You had some nice transitions and some voiceovers in this video, but you kept it minimalistic.
The bar for tree climbing content isn't that high, so, thankfully, if we both work harder at our videography and editing, we can easily stand out among the other channels!
Some of my newer content now has intros with beautiful stock footage and music and moving graphic titles. I also spend a lot of time creating zoom and motion effects in editing to keep the viewer engaged. Also, I always now film from two or more camera angles (main camera and GoPro Hero 12 on helmet), and sometimes a third camera (my Nikon DSLR), which really helps engagement for my climbing videos!
What software do you use to edit your footage?
As always, my comments are never a quick read! I love you, John, so I enthusiastically support you and your channel. We are twin spirits with our desire to create new knots, hitches, and techniques!
I seen in your Garda Hitch Footloop Kit, you tied a Longhorn on the Loop👍🏼
Another great video. So, I'm still at the stage of getting comfortable being in the saddle, only climbing a few feet off the ground. I've made only a couple of upward moves using the garda foot loop and the longhorn agile friction hitch, and I'm gaining confidence in the system. Today something in your video caught my eye: that was when you were standing on your platform with the garda foot loop still engage on your foot. This raises the following question for me: Is it necessary to maintain tension on the foot loop for the redundant safety aspect of garda foot loop carabiners to remain effective? Or, in other words, will releasing tension on the foot loop compromise the effectiveness of the 2 carabiners ability to hold the climber in the event of an unexpected drop? Thanks.
I’ve been repelling on a totem figure 8, it keeps the friction hitches cool. I am thinking more that friction hitches are better used for ascending. What are your thoughts?
Most friction hitches lack the necessary requirements to qualify as a single rope ascender. But the Longhorn Agile works great. Learn it, tie it, and I believe you will be impressed.
I see you added the Transformation Loop on the End of the Garda… How did you Attach that and do you leave it on there it all times?
The transformation loop stays on there all the time. Just slide it and clip it in the carabiners when it's used in normal mode.
