I’m speechless, more creative ways to get where you need to be, when you need to be there. The whitetail lose the upper hand when you walk into the woods with the JRB toolbox. Thanks John.
If the longhorn agile is so easy to tie and untie, why use it with a biner to be an end loop? You could just easily tie a figure 8 on a bight, a double dragon, a backed up bowlin, ANY loop knot I would trust more than this. This feels like throwing another video out foe the sake of having a video update. I like a lot of your ideas, and I climb on a longhorn agile, I like it, work wells. But its not a good anchor loop.
@dichotomousblue in this scenario, we are out of rope and we don't want to tie ANY life sustaining knots at the tree. If you attempt to do what you're suggesting, you will see that it's much more work. We can't tie an end loop until we remove the hitches from the other side of the line and attach a piece of paracord to it, because it's about to go out of reach. Then we need to tie the secure Loop and pass the para cord through the loop. And once we get the anchor up in the tree we need to put the friction hitch back on. It's all a waste of effort and each step involves risk. Remember, the scenario might only pop up once every couple of years. We don't want an inexperienced saddle Hunter trying to remember how to tie a secure and loop or rig something complex.
@jrbtc I get that scenario. However, I don't think it is wise to climb on knots without having a strong skill in those knots needed to get up or down or stay safe. Your channel used to exemplify this, but recently seems to be trying to get people who don't tie knots into trees with your knot system. I think it unethical to encourage climbing with a knot based system without mastering the knots that will keep you safe.
@dichotomousblue we agree that anyone climbing on a rope system needs to know their knots and take responsibility for tying them correctly. I am trying to further reduce risk by eliminating as many situations as possible where a knot is tied at the climbing site. This scenario does exactly that and helps extend the reach of our system. Show me an example another non mechanical Stationary Rope system where the climber doesn't need to tie any knots. I have given ya my DSRT system and with this, we can convert it to SRT without needing to remove and retie a hitch or form an end loop.
@dichotomousblue you said that the LA does not make a good anchor loop. Please tell me why. Are you speculating? Did it fail some kind of test? Was it hard to retrieve? Did you get a photo? Be specific such that I can attempt to reproduce whatever problem you had. But pls don't speculate. It's important that anyone reading this can separate an opinion from an observation.

Thx Matt. And congratulations on your hunting success!
It's always nice to see the system ever evolving, Great work John!!
Thanks!
Been away from the channel for too long. I have lots to catch up on.
You do!!
Climbing any Safe tree, with JRB!
Have a great day!
I have been busy!
@jrbtc yes you have!
Thank you, very much!

You can do this with any appropriate knot but i think the point is that the longhorn agile is already on that end of the rope in this system.
