Very nice, Bino👍it’s always nice to have options😊I never thought of using the lanyard as a “Slack/Hitch Assist”. Although, the Chest Harness doesn’t weigh very much, it’s great to know other ways to “McGyver” things and work with what you have, rather than throw money at it. Thank you!
While I work and climb I always wear long sleeves. When Noah and I are making videos it's on my days off but I still like to wear long sleeves. Thank you!
Hey Bino. Just curious if you take a cell phone with you when climbing and, if so, how do you carry it? Do you have a special phone case with a lanyard connected to your chest harness/saddle/etc. or something else?
Bino..thanks for making the video on the chest harness. I can see that harness does make attaching easy and doesn't get in the way when not in use.. was curious ....didn't see other videos addressing this item....Thanks again!
You bet, Sorry I didn't mention your name. The day we made the video I didn't search your name out. Thanks for the suggestion we appreciate it. You're welcome and thank you again, Take care!
@@BinoH I highly suggest for anyone climbing, get a saddle with a rope bridge, and make it adjustable (I use a CT Roll n lock) makes life 10x easier in the tree
Great video, thanks for the info. I have the Weaver harness and it works good, but I always seem to have trouble getting it on easily. Seems to twist and get turned wrong. Your lease and strap around your chest seems like it would be easier to put on quickly.
True sometimes the harness can get all twisted. The leash can be quick but the reason I stopped using the leash is I had it on and I was throwing in and the clip flew up and hit me in the face. Thank you!
Yes that was one of my first SRS systems. It does work well but it's made out of aluminum and the rope wears the the area the rope slides through so it tends to slide after time.
Hi Bino, thanks for all of your great videos. Sorry, off topic question from a new SRT climber. Why do some people not recommend a mechanical device for beginners? That pushed me towards the Rope Wrench but I'm not liking the many posts about getting the right combo of rope, cord, and knots. Now I'm back looking at the Rope Runner Pro. I'll mainly be doing removals. Thank you again!
The reason to learn your knots before you get into a mechanical hitch is to become efficient so if you ever had a failure with a mechanical you would be able to work the tree or come come down with basic knot knowledge. I found that the rope wrench allows you to use multiple different ropes. On the other hand the Rope Runner Pro and the Akimbo for me are more rope specific.
@@BinoH Thanks Bino, that makes a lot of sense. In the fire service back in the 70's we had knot drills. Some rescue knots and equipment lifting/rigging. I remember thinking after a drill that I will never forget these knots, but not long after the info leaked back out of my head. I wonder if occasional climbers have to look knots up on their phone when they come across a specific use. I have been writing these knots down and the list sure is getting long. Time to get another short practice rope for tying knots.
Thanks for this great info! Still working on getting my geometry right between my bridge, my climber, and my chest tender setup. Is that park just set up for people to climb trees whenever, or did you have to get permission/have to get permission each time?
Hmm, your title says "All Methods" but you are missing any reference to chest rollers, which are the primary method that we use to tend our SRS gear up up the rope in big trees. Chest rollers are also used by cavers on long rope ascents. They make it much easier to go up a rope as they hold you upright so you don't need to use your arms much at all. I use mine to tend a variety of SRS devices, including the Akimbo, Hitch Hiker, Bulldog Bone, Zigzag, and Rope Wrench.
With all due respect, Bino - there is no way I'll put on my neck something strong enough. The others options seem to be ok, I only want to add for diversity - one can use fall arrest attachment point of rope access chest harness (or similiar).
I had an incident once connected my chest harness (webbing sling and rated biner) BEFORE my saddle, well, I forgot my saddle, turns out my chest harness is good enough to rappel on
@@WoodCutr1 It's good to hear you made it safely and that's exactly why I suggest using Rope Access type of the chest harness. Currently, I use Petzl Top Croll L + Sequoia SRT, so that's the full body harness now and there would be nothing bad having such an incident as you had. Just more vertical ride.
@@rainjersforest768 worst part about SRT, you can get to the top without ever realizing you didnt connect your saddle on a great note, I only made it about 15ft, still scary
I like these budget tricks videos, 👍🏻 🇨🇦🇺🇸
Thank you!
Another excellent video of great tips for tree climbers of all skill levels learning and sharing thanks Bino !
Joe
Thank you Joe!
Thanks for the info Bino. It's nice to see you at the park again. Your knowledge is appreciated.
My pleasure!

You're welcome, Take care!
great video! super important to learn those techniques// hugs from Uruguay 👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it, Take care!
Great content Bino! I noticed you always wear long sleeves..Is there a uniform you wear when doing jobs?
While I work and climb I always wear long sleeves. When Noah and I are making videos it's on my days off but I still like to wear long sleeves. Thank you!
Does this also work with a prusik hitch and pulley set up? Or only the mechanical devices? Thanks for all the teaching sir! I learn a lot watching you
It will work with a Rope Wrench and a Hitch Hiker.
Hey Bino. Just curious if you take a cell phone with you when climbing and, if so, how do you carry it? Do you have a special phone case with a lanyard connected to your chest harness/saddle/etc. or something else?
I like to wear cargo pants and I'll put my phone there. I also bought some zipper cargo pants.

I put an adjustable rope bridge on my saddle, its nice for SRT because I can pull my bridge tight and get my chest harness snug
That's a nice option. Thanks!

@@BinoH no, thank YOU for this amazing climbing resource you have given the world
@@WoodCutr1 Glad to hear the feedback!

Have you had any experience with the Unicender Bino? I just tryed one and really like it!
Yes that was one of my first SRS systems. It does work well but it's made out of aluminum and the rope wears the the area the rope slides through so it tends to slide after time.

So how do u like the roperunner pro???😁👍cool video as always
I like it the only down side for me it that it works well on one of my ropes.
If something goes wrong, could the chest harness support the weight.if you lay back on it ?, with those plastic clips i get nervous 😊
Thank you 👍👍
No this chest harness is just an aid in tending your climbing hitch not life support.
@@BinoH thanks!! 🌿🌿
Uma bela opção pra quem tem pouco recursos
True you can make something out of rope you already have.
Thanks for this great info! Still working on getting my geometry right between my bridge, my climber, and my chest tender setup. Is that park just set up for people to climb trees whenever, or did you have to get permission/have to get permission each time?
You're welcome. Climbing in parks is difficult people like to call the police and then you usually get escorted out.
Thank's again Bino!

Yes you are right good point. Thank you for sharing. Take care!
Didn't mean to sound critical. I think your video is otherwise pretty good!
@@ericforsman7787 No worries having a roller is an option. Thowing ideas and techniques around will help many people. Thank you!
Good stuff bro!
You're welcome. Thanks for the visit!
Cool. How it's supposed to be. Little kids playing and running on the grass, while the big kid plays in the tree.
Yes but when my boys were young they used to climb with me too. Take care!
Helpful
Glad to hear that!
Nice!
Thanks!
Mine gonna be an baseball team Anaheim Angel's necklace key holder ... LMAO 😂😉
That would probably work.

That sounds like a good option.
