Warning: Do this at your own discretion! You are removing the warranty of your rope and altering it's previous design! You must take responsibility if you choose to use any rope you modify yourself! Be careful, go slow, and practice on a throwaway rope first! Caution: rambling talking during the tedious part of the re-sheathing.

Extreme easy SRT rope walking for saddle hunters. I used a silentized Notch Jet step Foot ascender, a JRB Longhorn Agile hitch(6mm Trc), a rated climbing carabiner, and a tailgunner made footloop with a length of 5.5mm beal cord. Part 1 I climbed on 7.9mm Ultratech. only 15 feet but in 30 seconds I could have gone 30'! Seek proper training from a certified Arborist before copying!

I'll be damned
Hey Sam how long is the tether you repel with
@Ray-jb7er i use a 40' piece, which after adding my steel cable loses about 16", then tying the stopper knot loses another 12-15", so the total end length is about 37' long. That means a 2' diameter tree(rare at hunting height) allows me to be 31' off the ground!
smooth
The only thing i dont get is that 1st 8 feet + that is white did you pull that out of civ
@donaldmckenzie1236 it's the inner core of the rope. You have to remove just the length that you'll put the cable in, plus the short length of the tip of the rope, because you'll just be tying a stopper knot.
@donaldmckenzie1236 you could also taper the end of the cable and tape the core to the cable then pull the cable through the core of the rope.
When making the lower tether (the shorter tether) does this have to be made from a longer rope to store the sheath while inserting the wire core and then the tether cut to length after the new wire core has been inserted?
@@gregorycrow7515 that's one way to do it and the best way as far as economizing the rope. However you can use a short rope and completely remove the sheath as long as you tape up both ends of the core and the sheath before you pull them off. Then tape on a 6" peice of something stiff like a ziptie or pencil to one end of the core so you have something hard to pinch as you feed the core back into/ through the sheath. I'll try and find time to make another video when I make another set...
Would you consider building and selling your set up.

I don’t like all the knot tying tho
Great videos!! See I like this idea but I don’t like the idea of a throw rope. I’m trying to figure out away to climb without sticks the 2tc I like gonna try it and improve it with what I like this off season so I’ll be watching to tips
This is by far the best 2TC video out there right now. Would love to see a more in depth on the gear
@@joshmiller902Thanks! There are parts 2, 3 and 4....
You have done a fantastic job of demonstrating and explaining things, far better than any other channel that shows 2 tether climbing. I do have a concern about removing the core of the rope. The weak point is going to be where the steel rope and rope core meet together inside the sheath. I believe this is a failure point waiting to happen. But, I believe you are smart enough to figure out a solution to possibly reinforce that area. Do you think it is possible to insert a steel cable inside the rope without removing / cutting the core?
Thanks! To answer your concern: No, I'm not worried at all about the weak point of the rope. The only time I'm lower than that point is during a rappel which is slow and very controlled. I know 100% i will never be in a slack enough condition to create enough force to push the rope to even half it's BP. Even if you removed the entire core from the rope you really aren't going to change the danger level of the rope breaking. However, I do have an overlap of cable and core usually about 1" to 2". I guess I didn't really show that very well in this video. Also a new method someone just told me is to tape the core to the start of the cable and just pull it through the rope then cut off the excess on the other end of the rope. As for having them side by side, I have tried that and it gets very messy very fast if you catch even 1 thread of a part of the inner core, there'll be a lump before you know it!
@wild_sam9845 Do you think the stiffness could be achieved by using a smaller diameter steel cable like 1/8 inch? This might leave some room to run some amsteel inside the rope where those ends meet.
@@GrumpyOldMan697 No, I've tried smaller diameter cables and the thickest cable you can get in there (3/16" total od) is what keeps it stiff and open. However it really is the danger of catching a part of the inner core no matter what diameter cable youre putting in there and then even if you try and pull out to reset its so soft that it pulls it forward and messes the whole core up. Another thing is that I usually 2TC back down so I never go past the joint, OR I use the other end of my rope and tie a Maverick hitch and have a different hitch to rappel on. That way I never really pass the joint.
Wait a minute, you don't use a gaf system to climb? That's pretty cool. I tried the spurs and they hurt my shins. I'll have to look into this system.
@@tuanas458 well this is for hunting and gafs are illegal on public lands, plus they can damage trees you'd like to hunt for many years even on private so as a first time climb up a tree with no branches this is really the fastest, safest, and simplest for me.
@@wild_sam9845 tree work
@@wild_sam9845 I like the fact it leaves no marks and people can't see you've been hunting that particular tree. You're sure smooth with it.
Please list specifically the cable type and shrink wrap you used and where you purchased... Thanks. (Nice work) ( I use 8mm R-T)
@@toddw9518 i use canyon C-IV or Samson predator 11mm. This should work on the 8mm but you'll have to try a smaller diameter cable like 1/8"....
@@toddw9518 the cable i used is the 5/32" from harbour freight. And the heat shrink (3/16") is there as well.
Your foot loop line should diverge from the tether line at the girth hitch, or your stirrup lines will pull down on your bridges . My stirrup lines are sized for me, and I keep the friction hitches inside of the girth hitch loops (Apex bypass link) until at hunting height or if the tree becomes too narrow.
@@apexpredatoroutdoors8308 I don't experience that at all. If you see my actual climb video you'll see that I never sit down in my saddle and when moving the top tether up im not fighting the bridge connection point.
@@apexpredatoroutdoors8308 the bridges have my footstep length (15") of height movement in them, plus a couple more from the hitch.
@wild_sam9845 it won't affect it while stepping up. It does while putting weight on the stirrups. I'm talking about how stepping into your stirrup pulls the tether to the bridge. It pulls you down and towards the tree. To avoid that, bridge and stirrup lines have to be 2 lines at the girth hitch loop.
@wild_sam9845 ill try to make a video to show what I mean.
Getting there! Glad see 2TC is catching on finally!

Hello, I just found your channel and I really like your setup. It looks like you are constantly making updates to it though. Would you be able to run through how you have your 2 tether setup now with hitches etc.. or could I message you on saddlehunter forum for info? Thank you
@@thomasbellman1812 I've been try for the last few months to make a climb series as well as a gear video about my setup. So yes and yes. If all goes well I'll have those videos up this week.
Im interested in seeing the video on how to silence the foot ascender, cant seem to find it let me know if you have posted it yet thanks
Nice job Sam!!
Thanks!
You should try using a set of TADPOLES to put your rope on the tree. I'll show you how when you click this link. ruclips.net/video/-XmsiY7eBiM/видео.html Oh I liked your tourniquet method for tying up.
Been waiting to see this method Sam, great work but now I’ll have to spend more money, lol!!!
Good video Sam, I’ve been looking forward to seeing this technique!
excellent video. I'm going to have to explore this
Can you do that in the dark?
My System has been updated and improved but yes absolutely. Actually it's easier now to go around branches since I use JRB's Maverick hitch for both my tethers.
Im also working on a 2tc system of my own. And i know we shouldnt rush. But according to video it took you almost 18 min or to get to hunting height. If this is average time with experience i believe ill stick with one sticking. I coukd be at same height in about a 3rd of time or littke more and make no more noise than you did. So idk may have to study into this more.
It's probably usually much faster. He completely detaches his tether and reattaches it between moves like you may have to to get over limbs to demonstrate that it can be done efficiently with his system.
Sterling HTP works well without additional stiffening.
With respect, I think you and JRB are both creating solutions in search of a problem, and I think both of you miss the concept of simplicity yielding safety.
Ah, no offense taken! May I ask what problem do you think we are trying to solve? To explain, I make these videos for folks on the saddlehunter.com website to explain myself. My idea, not a problem, was to have a releasable metal free tether attachment so as to limit the possibility of metal clanking in my 2TC system. I have succeeded, and this entire season every climb has been done on these SNEAK hitches. Humans always want things to be better lighter faster! Me too! Thanks for the interest!
@@wild_sam9845, I appreciate your enthusiasm, and I'm glad you've found a system that works for you. Personally, I think the complexity of the solution introduces too much chance of user error for me to be comfortable with it, for a very minimal benefit. A simple figure eight loop on the end of the rope allows me to run the end of the rope around the tree, through the loop, and tighten the loop on the tree. The 30' of rope I carry takes 10 seconds or so to run through the loop, an additional 10 sec at the end of my hunt to pull back up, a time cost that is well worth the increased safety of a simple, effective knot that has been tested for ages.
A bowline should be backed up (like a Yosemite finish) if ever used in a life support application. It will untie if loaded and unloaded multiple times. Not a subjective statement….
Thanks for the warning and I completely agree! However, if you'll watch the knot video for it, you'll see its not a bowline! Its based on a bowline, but has much more. Also I've been on my 2 tethers the entire season and the SNEAK hitch has been great, never loosened up on me.
Resc tech , I love that rope,
I use a rubber garden hose, either split or not
Cool, you’re doing essentially what I do also, but I am using either the jrb cinch or saddle hunter hitch on my tether rope loops around the tree. But lately I’ve just been climbing and rappelling on the basic double rope jrb system but transferring to a tether on the jrb saddle hunter hitch to get my best hunting position in the tree
I like 2tc, but lately , the JRB climbing method with double rope and then at height reposition with a tether, love the saddle hunters hitch, then just get back on the double rope and rappel, so safe and easy , I’ve gotten ok with a throw ball, most times it’s easy to hit a good crotch and after first climb if I like the tree leave a preset cord, with the JRB I can get up in a big tree, 2tc I tend to use on small trees
I do pretty much the same thing. On all my presets I JRB climb, any new tree I just 2TC! They work together so well!
Cool use of friction hitches
Your video won’t play
I do 2.TC also, and have an improved system with two bridges on the tree at all times, when you advance top tether and standing on your foot loop you are not attached to the tree, if you slip, and I have had this happen where your foot swings out momentarily you are way off balance and could fall, you are holding the tree with left hand and right leg,but not tied on the tree, maybe think of adding a second bridge and attaching it to your bottom tether for safety, I like your ability to make adjustments to bridge and foot loop in your tethers, I use two JRB friction ascender hitches on each tether, foot loop and leg loop and two bridge to tether connections, The bottom bridge is very short and keeps me close to the tree in case of a slip and it frees up my hands for moving tethers I used to use the running eye or “girth hitch” to make the loop for the tethers but that can drop and be scary, now I use either the JRB cinch of JRB saddle hunters hitch Keep on climbing! These methods allow the tether to be moved easily yet once set will not release until you release them, The running eye can get slack drop anytime weight is taken off it
You've not seen my other videos then! I'm always attached with my bridges to both the main and foot tether! Its how I go around branches with just 2 tethers and don't need a third! Also, I used my SNEAK hitch, and its easily releasable without a carabiner or quicklink. The only metal in my system are the 2 carabiners, one to the main tether, and a second from my second bridge to the foot tether with a separate hitch than the footloop attachment! Stay safe and keep climbing!
Here is the link to the original JRB hitch. ruclips.net/video/w8IRYd_J-HA/видео.html
I’d love to get a two tether system going but it looks super complicated.
No, exact opposite! It really is easy! I'll do a video showing all my gear and how I got/made it. It is really the cheapest way to easily climb any tree, even with many branches!
@@wild_sam9845 Well, I'd love to have a system in place. I started One Sticking this year and I'm really loving that, but I'm still carrying a stick.
@@wild_sam9845 I'd love to see that video. Thanks!
Not really it’s based off of two ropes advancing in turn up the tree. Running eye was the start now we are using improved methods for the loops that are easy to move but won’t let go . So you just stand up in a foot loop on your bottom tether, taking weight off your top tether which you loosen and slide up the tree, tighten , put your weight on it and sit into your saddle, relax, then raise up your bottom tether taking weight off it gives you slack that you can loosen it up with, raise your foot and move that tether up, then stand on it and you repeat ….,
@@kennethrogers1129 Yeah, I get how it works. I've been watching videos of guys 2TC for a long time. Scott Atkins is a Rock Star. I just haven't put all the pieces together yet.
can you give the amazon model number?
In the other comments..... I've never bought this stuff, i use throwaway from work. Please search 'edge trim seal 3/8" or 9mm
I like your improvements to the two tether, I like a leg loop on the top tether also , helps put weight on the top tether before sitting all the way into your saddle, and am playing around with using a doubled rope with the jrb saddle hunters hitch, a foot loop and bridge connection on each rope, also thinking of using a web chest harness on the bottom tether attached to the redundant bridge to keep me close to the tree when climbing . Jrb ascender hitches are awesome huh!
Looks cool bro but those knots would bother me. I use the ropeman1 best 40$ ever
I had and used 2 ropeman1's for a year, but if you do some research friction knots are far stronger and safer, though mechanicals are much more convenient. I practice alot during off season and test things thoroughly before actually climbing with them. Have you seen my 2 test video? No one else in our little community has done a video of such a fall (more than 2 feet!). Thats why I trust my SNEAK knot as well as JRB's. You should at least try them out.... All the best to you! Have a great season!
@@wild_sam9845 I have not seen the video, I will check it out man. Thanks for the insight, everyone has their preferences and this is the first time I have seen this type of setup. Definitley interesting and best of luck to you!
@@nickyslicky Great! I'd totally recommend watching JRB tree climbing channel as he has!s really good demonstrations of the knots and a great full rope climb technique!
This is brilliant. I'd like to use this for my tether instead of a carabiner or a fixed loop. Nicely done.
Excellent
So maybe I missed it but I'm confused how you remote release this from the ground after rappelling?
You didn't miss it! I tie a JRB Hitch right before rappel! I'm going to make a video asap showing what I do/use!
@@wild_sam9845 so do you transfer back to your second tether in order to tie that?
@@TruthSee-Ker Yes. I leave my second tether on the tree and stay attached to it down low, and actually use it as my bow and stuff hanger .....and sometimes will actually 2TC back down, especially if I haven't passed any limbs, as it's less of a clean up/pack up job than rappelling and is equal in time when you consider putting the rope away nicely.
There's no better feeling than climbing trees. Good climb that you done 😄
I've been wanting to do this as well, would you tell me how you've got that set up? I heard you say you are using a michoacan for adjustment on the bridge side, what hitch are you using on the tether? I'm using a ropeman for my foot loop's connection, what hitch are you using there? Also, I guess you are rappelling down from the top tether, are you able to do that with the jrb hitch?
So this video is old, if you see the newer videos on my channel you'll see the updated versions!
And yes, I rappel down with the JRB Hitch because nothing comes close to the releasability of it! I have a new way to tie it, video coming this weekend!
