  • Hey guys look what I found on Amazon! Yepp it is the most useful climbing tool in the crime fighting biz. Yeah.. so in this episode I show that grappling hooks aren't as useful as they may seem for climbing. You would have to get very lucky to get a good placement with one, and even if you did, chances are you would never know what it looked like till you got to it. I guess it makes for great TV though. Sorry for destroying your child hood fantasies with this one guys!

      So the parking around here is really bad if your not home by 8 pm then your screwd. And this garages are mostly used for storage. So we would just park in front of the garages. How ever you get a fine if you are parked in a driveway (even your own). So we worked it out with the town that if we block off the garages and curb the drive way they will allow us to pave half our yard and turn it into a parking lot. So that’s what we did and now can fit ten cars in there Instead of the 3-4 cars. They wanted posts in front of the garages to guarantee they wouldn’t be for more vehicles anymore.

The "arch" of the curve is about two feet and they used it to grab the edge of a wall. By the way, extremely impressive watching you free climb the wall!

      @@randomassassin8898 My go to for getting down sketchy terrain that's not really on the trail exactly or maybe on a crappy trail is a big whip like leash of some sort (ok not just anything but obviously something made of a material designed for climbing purposes or something similar that can easily handle body loads and then some to be safe) to just sling it around a tree or whatever and then hold on to that as I move myself down to another tree and then just keep doing it that way so that I'm always holding on to something. It's probably not necessary sometimes but for me I really don't care, the peace of mind is worth it, so many people get hurt or die just scrambling around like that because it's so much easier compared to climbing that they get complacent but I don't think it's worth the risk sometimes to not be anchored in somehow and that's just such a quick and easy way to do it. All you have to do is keep slinging it around something and then wrap them around your hand enough times that it's not going anywhere and boom if you're like me and aren't willing to take risks on sketchy terrain sometimes I think it's a very nice safety valve if you do it properly.
