Wow! This is a cool video it gives you more confidence in all of what you tested. It would be great to see the termination knots tested with a hand-width tail. A lot of climbers feel unsafe climbing without a stopper knot on the Anchor, Doublefisheman's, and Buntline Hitch. Thank you for this!
Thought the quickie was stout, but have even more confidence in it now. Enjoying your new break test vids, good to see your equipment being tested too, good stuff indeed.
Wow!!! 2 reasons I feel like my comment in your previous video partially inspired this test and video: 1) I recommended the 'end to end' break test of the zigzag linkage... And 2) my name IS Blake!! Lol. Thanks August and crew
Thanks! Non-standard loadings of the pieces would be interesing, in particular zig zag chain bent around a log, and quickie lodged against a hard surface. They tell you to always make sure that the slic pin is pointing away from the trunk. Would be interesting to see what happens if you do the opposite. Which force does it take to push the slic pin out? Is this something that can happen in practice, or will it rather make a dent in the wood than be pushed out? Would be curious to know that...
I'd be interested how well a zeppelin bend does vs a double fisherman's. I always end up using a ZB because you can actually get them untied after you load them. liking these video's so far, similar to the How not to highline guy but applicable to tree guys.
@@jackberdine This is true but I'm talking about joining two rope together (double fisherman's bend VS double fisherman's loop) say if your pull line is not long enough or something non life supporting like that.
You might test the Blake hitch and friction devices while wet with a spray bottle of water to see the effects of less friction and the breaking strength of different ropes or slings.
If I remember right the human body, while wearing a full body harness hooked up by the shoulders, will received severe damage from a fall that induces about 1800 Lbs on the rope. A waist harness like most people would wear during tree work is good for less. The harness will survive but the person is gonna be hurt'in. So except to account for the regular things that cause damage and loss of strength, you don't need a piece of safety gear stronger than 1800 Lbs. As eluded too, the fact that the zigzag might slip a little under higher loads is actually a good thing cause otherwise your keeping the gear safe in exchange for hurting the person.
I was wondering if you would consider renting a high speed camera for your destructive testing? It may give you a deeper understanding into how your experiment progresses to failure. For you, it might show, in the case of harness connections that the cloth fails first before the stitching, or a directional force on the stitching needs to be modified to reduce stress in a particular area. For metal parts, could a latch be failing, or is the metal too soft, and allows the metal to deform out of the latch's ability to hold? Questions like that might be answered with a fast camera. The company I worked for had one, and used it routinely for design, and investigation of latent problems.
Actually I was thinking about commenting that they should get in touch with Destin at SmarterEveryDay, This type of destructive testing seems right up his alley, And its also (I think?) a new subject for him to learn about all together, so double win.
Great Video, I would love to use the Notch Quickie‘s, unfortunately they are not certified here in Austria so I am not allowed to use them. Really don‘t understand why. Greetings from Austria !
Have you made any videos talking about the physical strength required to climb trees, SRT with spurs. I'm going to be getting into it next week when my kit comes in. I've started working out a little more because I'm not sure if I'm where I need to be at for it. I'm about 5'8' 140lbs. ty, Alex P.S. I'll try to video tape is for the future
Just a question isn't the minimum braking strength 8000 pounds on the bridge rope and it broke at 4500 roughly ..not sure if I have that correct ..but great video and lots of knowledge in it ..
Does your camera have a super-slo mode of video? Android does, and it's cool how much you can see when it records in that mode. I think it would capture the failure better.
I've been blinded by science. 🤖. You guys want the rear door shocks off my 1975 pinto to make the door a little easier to open and close on that awesome rig you guys made?
At this point, you're more likely to die of circumstances outside of lifeline gear. Trees guys tend to die from the tree, and not gear failure. Trust your gear folks!
I want to see a bullet bounce off you "bullet proof glass" even a 22 short will do! Great test I was wondering about the quickie I use it to tie in SRT in a choke. I have no worries now I didn't before but the more data the better.
So, the machine looks great, but I think You could use a bigger diameter cylinder. First- it would be easier for the pump to achieve greater forces, and second- pulling force would be rising slower, giving you more accurate measurements. Anyway - great job!
A small fortune, I think it’s about 25mm. Bullet proof if a fallacy, “bullet resistant” is as good as it gets if you want to see through it, even on armored vehicles.
@@stusue9733 Yeah I was thinking the same. A sheet of polycarbonate thats 1/4” thick... isn’t really bulletproof. It might resist bullets fired by field mice from their tiny guns... but that’s not stopping a 9mm size projectile moving at proper speed. 😂
@@jaxturner7288 ya that’s not even bullet resistant glass. That’s likely a sheet of polycarbonate or acrylic and he is confused about how real bullet resistant glass is made. Even glass clad polycarbonate would be a poor choice for this type of situation. Glass clad can be “thinner”(with reduced stopping properties) but I very seriously doubt that buddy went through that kind of procedure to acquire glass clad. Plus I’ve seen shots where the working side appears to have scratches in it already. So... it’s probably not bullet resistant. Just hope he properly notifies the bystanders. Some innocent person will think they are safe... then BOOM... guy has injured an onlooker.
I use one, sometimes two quickies per tree depending on the tree. Glad i could be roughly 8,000 pounds fatter and it’ll still hold me! I’ve always been curious... ❤️

Thanks for sacrificing your gear.
I am using everything you tested in this video. It's a faith builder.

Yep 😁
I love this channel keep up the good work stay strong Warriors God bless

You can get a double fisherman’s untied as well my boy you just take the carabiner out and slip the top loop over the “eye”

Anchor and Blake's my favorite
Thanks for making this video August.

Thank you for your time!
Can we simulate side loading the quickies slick pin as if it got pulled up to anchor the wrong way?
Does anyone know how much force it takes ? Can’t find that specific information anywhere

Really cool stuff here! Answers lots of questions I’ve had in my mind while using Blake hitch... keep breaking stuff😎

Break a unlicensed. That quickie was awesome. That’s a awesome idea with that machine.
Can you test when my spirit breaks after I underbid my next job?
Try breaking a new vs old chainsaw chain, or one where the gullet has been made to deep.
Great Video,
I would love to use the Notch Quickie‘s, unfortunately they are not certified here in Austria so I am not allowed to use them. Really don‘t understand why.
Greetings from Austria !
Awesome to watch but in the world of rigging a very important thing remember is the D/d ratio with cables, shackles, and slings.
Great series of videos. Thought provoking
Nice work gentlemen. Now you must buy a phantom camera for some sweet slow-mo destructive testing footage!
I spy a fellow contigo carrier! Great knife.
Keep up the good work
High speed camera coming ?
Prolly
It sounds like August has found a happy new hobby breaking things! 😃

Am curious as to what the Omni Block 1.5 would withstand.
No more doubts anymore, very cool video keep em coming 👌 enjoying it, thanks alot.
Just a question isn't the minimum braking strength 8000 pounds on the bridge rope and it broke at 4500 roughly ..not sure if I have that correct ..but great video and lots of knowledge in it ..
A thousand thank yous...🙏
Very interesting, thank you. Do you have an old piece of rope to test the Blake hitch on?
Yep
Feel more comfortable with my gear ⚙️ 👍thanks
Can you put a thermometer on the suspected break area? Pulling fast I think heat contributes to a lower break reading.
J Daniels 👊👍
Digging these break test vids.
The bridge shackles / D loops from a Petzl sequoia srt The ones with the bolt pin.
Break a rigging ring.
a slow mo of all of that would have been cool great video see you on the next one
It's nice knowing that my zigzag+ can pull a bus before breaking feels a bit safer
Does your camera have a super-slo mode of video? Android does, and it's cool how much you can see when it records in that mode. I think it would capture the failure better.
One thing I've never understood? ?is of webbing slings are that strong 💪???why can they not be used for life support .especially in combination
August that's a great way to test everything. See you on your next vidja.
I've been blinded by science. 🤖. You guys want the rear door shocks off my 1975 pinto to make the door a little easier to open and close on that awesome rig you guys made?
I'm really curious, what the minimum breaking strength of a Damien is. Could you test that for us?
Now you need a high speed camera.
Compare different brands of carabiners. Or maybe different types and brands. Be interesting to see that.
At this point, you're more likely to die of circumstances outside of lifeline gear. Trees guys tend to die from the tree, and not gear failure. Trust your gear folks!
Try some of the carbeaner that's says not for climbing 🤣👍
Ok
Yeah, I feel like this pulling thing could be like the Hydraulic Press Channel but in reverse. So many things I want to see pulled apart!
The rope surprised me how strong and small they can make rope now days😁👍
Pull on that rock exotica thingy your climbing on now.
Was that the notch or (milled) quickie?
I'd love to see a hitch climber system break and see what it can do
Excellent info
Nice Osbourne.
Respect.
Yeah. Awesome work. You definitely need a slo-mo camera to see how it fails.
Blake hitch it looks like what we call a taught line hitch.
It’s a Blake though. I started with taut line years ago but Blake stays put better without getting too tight (in regular use.)
Slo-mo camera?
Thanks for the Blake’s test August. Best to you all.👋
Please do more of these
I want to see a bullet bounce off you "bullet proof glass" even a 22 short will do! Great test I was wondering about the quickie I use it to tie in SRT in a choke. I have no worries now I didn't before but the more data the better.
Too expensive to test
What model bench made is joe carrying. Looks like a xl version of a 940 Osborne
So, the machine looks great, but I think You could use a bigger diameter cylinder. First- it would be easier for the pump to achieve greater forces, and second- pulling force would be rising slower, giving you more accurate measurements. Anyway - great job!
There is no cylinder.
So this is like mechanical actuator? My bad, by sound I thought it is an hydraulic setup ;)
Electric winch
Yeay busting time … how about The carabiner next ?
Yall are having too much fun. Haha
Please use a high speed camera.
Really want to see a rope runner pro break test
Dang. How much did a sheet of bulletproof glass that size cost you? What thickness is it too?
Wait. Just saw later how thick it is. No way that’s bulletproof glass. 😂 that too thin
A small fortune, I think it’s about 25mm.
Bullet proof if a fallacy,
“bullet resistant” is as good as it gets if you want to see through it, even on armored vehicles.
@@TsunauticusIV Yeah mythbusters made the same mistake. "made of the same stuff as some bullet proof glass" is just not the same thing ;)
@@stusue9733 Yeah I was thinking the same. A sheet of polycarbonate thats 1/4” thick... isn’t really bulletproof. It might resist bullets fired by field mice from their tiny guns... but that’s not stopping a 9mm size projectile moving at proper speed. 😂

Try a pinto secured with rope. One with a spacer, one without.
How about August versus Damien, measuring who can hold the most load. :-). Rig that lol.
Apparently the term “ hatchet knot” is bi-coastal 😆😆😆
What's up august again Nice.😆 😆.💪
Did u see the smoke come off the blakes
Lbs??? Not kilograms- kiloniutons??? 🙁
You could do with The Slo Mo Guys to come film the breakages with their high speed cameras :-)
Break a bowline or a cow hitch
COOL
Wow 😮
Wow!
What’s with all these weird knots you guys are tying ??? Just use a wire rope and you’ll never have to replace that rope again
👍🙏
Uni
nice to know lol
Try breaking some wood
Good idea
I use one, sometimes two quickies per tree depending on the tree. Glad i could be roughly 8,000 pounds fatter and it’ll still hold me!
I’ve always been curious... ❤️
???a
Can we simulate side loading the quickies slick pin as if it got pulled up to anchor the wrong way?
