As long as the figure of 8 has the rating stamped on it and is in good condition when inspected before each use it is fine to use the type in the film (this particular one was bought from an arborist supply store) it differs from some in that it doesn't have the prongs on either side but are not necessary when using the hard lock method. Thanks
Have you ever done a video on listing the benefits of a base anchor and the benefits of a canopy anchor? I know one of the big benefits of a base anchor is that a groundsman can lower an injured climber but are there any other benefits? like limb load. I have seen several videos that tie there base anchor to some other object and not the tree that they are climbing, I somewhat understand the compression versus the bending loads but it would be nice if someone would do a video and better explain. Also your videos are very well put together most of the other videos I watch to see what not to do.
Nice Video! Good job! Can you substitute the red rope for a sling or webbing? and the ring, can i substitute for a carabiner? i need this information in Brazil amazon. Thank you
Outstanding videos! If we ad such things back in my days....So much memories comming back to me, I miss this part of my life some times. Thank you so mush!
Climbing arborist, please can you do a video on climbing with the use of two ropes. I do council work and am struggling to work this out. I’ve a drt setup and a chicane srt setup both with zigzag. I also want to add this sort of system so my ground crew can lower me. Any recommendations? I thought about using my access line as the lowering point like this, and in addition use the two ropes to climb with so in total three ropes. Crazy huh?
Why not just tie an Italian hitch directly in to an Krab and tie this off using the same method shown in the video, you can then do away with the figure of 8 descender altogether.
Wouldn't it be a bit more proper to use the heavy duty figure 8 opposed to the rock climbers one? That is if your using it as your climbing base. Knowing how tree climbing gear regulations differs from that of rock climbing.
I don't like how the eight is locked off. Imagine the eight is under load then this method looks better because the friction isn't reduced during lock / unlock: ruclips.net/video/2sU2M544cF4/видео.html
I have followed you for 4 years and this will be the last year but I take orders from anybody but thank you very much for the accent and the different mentality of the normality of what I've been listening to here in the states you're the best brother and you always will be one of the best in my book
Your videos have made me an affective efficient climber. Still learning and still loving it. Cheers!
Patrick Muir here here I am the same top lad with top tips n tricks I've learnt so much from this man he's a 🌟 ✌️❤️from uk

Aah cool! Just checking. I'm fairly new to all of this, but running with some of the best. Trying to learn as much as I can.

Hi, could you just use a normal bowline knot at the end of the offcut rope instead of an Arborist ring?
More of a close up to see set up would be great?

i would just buy a 90 track lift
Con: Showing how to tie knots from 20 feet away.
Pro: Loved the video though. Very straightforward and no filler.
Supercool video dude, i love it!!! I will also make videos, i have some videos now but no tutorials
Can I use a figure 8 with ears/hooks on the sides? How does the configuration change if so?
It would be nice to be able to see the knots up close, just seeing the arrangement and order of the knots would really help.

Great video thanks! Im new to climbing, and your videos are very helpful. Cheers from Kansas!
This will work as your rope is at least 3 to
