Is that a Mazda 323 in the background or a Civic?

👍😊

1:42 This is not how to ever hold a crossbow. This is how to chop your fingers off. If that line shoots, it will cut your fingers clean off.

Why doesn't the climber have a belay device on??

Thank you!!!

Lol watching the video and I’m like, why not just buy a rope with an eye at the end. Then I saw the year this video was created. Lol thank you for your tip

wasn't expecting to be hit with the asmr

What mm cord was the blakes hitch? Thanks and great video

girth hitch to your bag saves a bunch of time

Hands should not go over the climbing hitch when foot locking.

I now understand why is called the Texas kick!LOL

Monkey fist work too??

Placing your thumb in harms way while loading is not acceptable, you might want to share that with the other professionals.

Which knot is the one that you slide up as you climb and pull down on to descend? Brand new to climbing, and always have it set up by an experienced climber but don't know what that one is called

Is that an Outward Bound compass rose on your helmet?

The best way is get yourself a monkey,train it to take the rope up the tree.They say some can do the entire rigging,I think i saw one the other day cutting trees.They getting better.

Bull.just throw the dam thing ,pluck it.

I've always seen the blakes hitch done in the opposite direction.

Why a "non-locking carabiner" for the autoblock?

I found this to have great basics for me, plus a few great tricks I hadn't ever thought of before. Thanks a lot!

Please include links to any gear used. It would be helpful to me and you can make commissions on it too!!

thanks for this video, i learned something from this.

No

I always have been wondering of a creation of a crossbow fishline combo, I am very glad to see this idea come to fruition. But how hard is it to get the line where you want it? And how often does it get stuck in such dense forest?

Ty very informative

Are there any foot devices just like the arm design so than when the foot going up the devices also going up as well?

How far can a weighted rope be thrown?

i like the ascending with a motor

This is a very thoughtful experiment. Coming from the climbing community, we would never climb on a prusik like the Blake's knot, it is strictly for ascending, but arborists do it all the time. They trade off a weak point in the system to make their lines more easily and quickly adjustable. The whole point is to limit any fall to only a foot or so, but if climbing above the last point of attachment, distance is doubled. This is worth thinking about when scrambling about the canopy, since it wouldn't take much of a fall to duplicate what is shown here. Heavy rope is worthless if the weakness is in the prusik line.That said, I believe most guys use heavier line for the Blake's hitch, and sometimes double up a variant prusik knot onto either side of a pulley.

You forgot to lock your rope into your jumar with those carabiners you saved which is vital in a how to video

This is the way I learned to do amateur aid climbing decades ago. I notice that now many professional arborists have transitioned to a single 'rope walking' technique, because most of the work is done by both lower limbs and it causes less strain on the back because they stand vertically while ascending. There is some additional investment in gear, and they still seem to use a dual technique when moving through the canopy after getting up. In a 300 foot tree, anything that reduces work to get up there must be worth considering....

The best rope ascencion way !!! . Congratulatios !!! .

What a load of tossers

I'd hire her

Luv the bag retrieve on a tug of the line

Please support my youtube channel and I support back

thank you for the video, Cornell... for me, as an enthusiast in tree climbing, seem a comprehensive video...

No pony tail no job - pity I'm as bald as a coot

11 year old video but it has been extremely useful for me in 2020 and the first video that showed me how to descend. There are countless videos about ascending techniques, but I suppose those folk assume descending is common sense. It wasn't for me as I had been thinking climbers actually descend using their hitches or ascending devices. I also like that in the video you have repurposed jumar style hand ascenders and have exploited wallet friendly webbing. Webbing is so cheap it is practically free but often stronger than the best ropes so it's strange it's not used more often!

" this is how your student looks when they get it over the branch the first time" lmao. Yea after a few thousand tries lmao

What kind of line and arrow how to put line on bow

You can also tie two Blake’s hitch’s one above the other and cut out the upward hip thrusting

anyone else preppers?

Use some fishing line a tennis with a little sand in it to get the other rope to tide the branch that needs to come down.

Nice video Best of luck Greate job Thanks

Thanks

Are y’all reset/redressing the Blake’s after each drop?

As a tower dog, I always wish I could use this technique.

Okay that last tip was invaluable.

*Very light but sturdy ascender that anyone can afford✏️>**allmy.tips/ClimbingAscender?X** I hung a foot loop through the large bottom hole of mine to get a leg up and save energy. I'm using it with 12mm rope and don't have any issues at all with it slipping or damaging rope. Don't trust it as your primary life support, but I definitely keep mine on the line as a handhold in case things go south. I wish this company would make a copy of the two-handed petzl butterfly-shaped ascender!*
