- Intro to X-Rigging Ring slings. By theXman. Video part ONE. (First couple minutes I was talking slow like an old man, sorry, it picks up, sick that day.) Finally I hope you find this is a descent video showing the X-Rigging Rings. Not too exciting, but a must for new users I think, or people trying to decide which ones to buy. I tried to sneak in video clips to make more exciting. Sorry for the length, there was actually so much more to say. I never even got into how to use an XRR sling with eye to make an arborist block retrievable and basically double the capacity of the sling itself. Just showed basic stuff here.

I couldve saved money and bought the imitation. But i heard your interview on the educated climber podcast, and all the work you put in to this, and bought YOURS.
Dude you're an expert tree guy. Im a novice. However i am an engineer, the guy below me felt the same and was compelled to comment. Thank you for your tree expertise, but just know that the added strength of aluminum is the composition of the aluminum series. Aluminum naturally oxidizes. Its very hard and what is done during anodization is this layered is electrolytically deposited onto the aluminum and the result are the rings you like so much. The skin alone has a hard wear surface.
Great job brother 👌
Thank you!
Thank you Sir,
Getting an education is never boring. Thank you.
Love your rigging diagrams !!!
Yesterday I finished a job in two days that I previously thought would run into a third. I used the three ring X Sling on a ridiculously small limb that happened to be over a perfect/clear landing zone, only because it was backed up by a single ring on a appropriate rig point in a less advantageous location. I’m going to order a few more slings. Thanks for all the dedication and hours you’re putting in to make this available to me and others.
Good stuff, helpful in many ways.
Thanks for your time and effort to make these available.
Appreciate your effort on this...great for those of us new to it all...
Just watched this, just have to say thanks! Opened my eyes up, and the explanation on things was great!
KNOT to split hairs but the way you shorten your sling is just the same way that you would use a conventional double eye sling for a block and is called a timber hitch. Using a timber hitch is probably the most effective way to get a good bite on the tree without damaging it. I can see a lot of uses for these rings! 👍
Thanks mr for sharing your time with us out here. cool information never used rings before thinking about trying them in the near future
David I really like the way you "think outside the box."
Great info from this video thanks alot keep it up
You know what I think of whoopie cords? whoopie!!!
Anodizing is a way of thickening the oxide layer on the surface of the aluminum. It will NOT increase the strength. It will, however, help with corrosion resistance, improve lubricity ,and Increased wear and abrasion resistance.
HowToOverthink correct. Mate that with an aluminum that is not too soft and not too hard and you have the X-Rigging Rings.
nice idea, nice stuff, safe work! greatings from Poland
i am also a maryland tree climber love watching your videos. just got the new tcia mag seen you on the cover would love to see the videos from that removal. keep up the great work!!!!
keep innovating. looks great
Richard,
It's a plastic cheap biner called the Petzl Caritool. They can be a little irritating if they hook on a branch. The one you saw was the large size. I've gotten mad when they hook something behind me and broken a few. But it's not that common and worth carrying one.
I found this to be very informative and appreciate the time you took to make the video. I have a question about the 3 ring rule and how the safebloc, the aerial friction device, is ok to use as a terminal rigging point. If I understand correctly, its about bend radius and I am trying to understand how the safebloc is achieving a radius that maintains the strength of the rope like the 3 rings do. Thank you.
Thanks. I still haven't played with that configuration much; but that's why I put up the caution text on that part.
is there any kind of breaking strength/ melting point or rating on these X rings? or just good old fashion rigging testing. they look very cool. thanks
Thanks Merle for the positive comments. It's amazing the haters that come out when the small guy introduces a product to this industry, but I'm told it's normal. If it had petzel or DMM name on it everyone would automatically think it's awesome. But you guys that have them, know how nice they really are and the product itself will grow it's popularity. What makes me feel good is that the big well known names in this industry have been ordering them and love them.
Thank you
Thanks Mike, that's because you are always thinking outside the box too.
I don't care if the vids are long. The idea of making a redirect before a main rigging point will save alot of force and less chance of something breaking before the rigging point!
Nice job David. Your forcing me to spend money this Spring!
I didn't even get into block use with a sling.
This video is educational on the XRR slings.
NOT ENTERTAINMENT.
It's for people that are considering buying a sling or two OR for the people that already own them.
Again, not very entertaining; I did try to squeez in some action clips, but there wasn't much room to fit them in.
I think it's a must see for possible consumers and users.
I will try to put action shots together tonight for Part TWO and post it too.
thanks for the vid, kepp working smart
Oh, i noticed that I didn't answer your protos question. It's not available or certified for use in the USA yet, so if you think the Euro and Australian standards are good enough for your head, I guess you could buy one from Europe or Australian site.
you can buy the slings already made, or you can buy the individual rings and make them yourself if you are good at splicing.

Great video. Nice job. I am just learning rigging and am glad to have found your videos. I could use some advice on how to learn rigging down cold. I know novice question but I'm looking to every avenue to ge up to speed. Thanks
Can you use the Prusik style rings on Tenex? or is it only intended for the stable braid? Thanks for all the great videos!
David, good job on the video, will be purchasing soon. Looks like a great set up. Lot of variables. I also have a question for you. On your harness what is the manufacture of the carabiner that you have the three ring tenex clipped into.
I like it
hi i love your video i like so much. where can i buy these rope and where i can learn to built it. thanks so much ale
Thanks so much for the video.... I would like to buy 3 of those from you could you tell me how and how much.. I've been doing tree work all my life and have spent big money on tree equipment and these kick ass I gotta have rings in my tree bag...really thanks for the showing of these rings... look forward to hearing from you.......... man I can do so much with these...... can't wait....
Robert, just read your comment. Write me at XtremeArborist@yahoo.com sorry for the delay.
Thanks for being in the group of first buyers Jesse. You have a tri-ring for crotch use right?
excellent vid, very informative. been meaning to grab a bunch. busy busy. now i'm on it a.s.a.p. Is it better for u to go thru ur page or treestuff? also, where'd u get the Protus & how do u like it? (pardon all the ?'s)
Tanks for thé vidéo, from Toulouse France.
Just subscribe to your Chanel, really impressiv! I Just start on this amasing adventure ! I open mi small business last year so i learn New technique in climbing by watching thé climbing arborist. Com and rigging too, tanks to Arbopod, so many Good stuff from USA!!
! Tanks for showing thé vertical speed line, love il
I need to get stuff from us for rigging, France bas nothing comparé to you!!
Tanks again

Where is part 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and 6?
Wow
can the loopie sling be remote installable and retrievable if used with the 2 short slings?
sorry I meant whoopie sling! second question is what sizes are the 2 whoopies.
Where do you get your rings from? Thanks. Tony
15:25 "You're going to want it just right so all slings get tight though". Yes, that's exactly the problem that would make me not bother even starting to fiddle around with this configuration - too hard, and no way of assuring success: it looks like a solution in search of a problem. I also don't buy the use of rings for the fishing line application you open with, save for the top rigging point. The multiple redirects below it are all low angle redirects and so involve low force, so they don't need an expensive solution - karabiners on small slings will do. BUT....the triple-ring arrangement over a crotch is another thing....I like this.
I totally agree, this was 5 years ago and we usually advance over time.
Sorry for the delayed response, i was out of the country and busy. TreeStuff(dot)com sells them and our junky site XtremeArborist(dot)com. TreeStuff will have a faster response than us. We clear a little more profit if from us, but you decide. Also Bartlett manufacturing in the rigging section, bartlettman(dot)com

nice video only problem i seen was the way you rigged at 15:10 looks like a bad practice to me .... and the reason i say that is because the way them slings are put together if you place the wrong amount of pressure on the inserted side of the sling the eye (loop) will open there is no way way you can determine the amount of pressure your going to set on each X ring every time. i know the knots of the pruisk will hold the rope but it might pull the inner out i hope this makes since....
Three rings, three components to replace a block and sling. It seems like more work and more shit. Even using it as a redirect would be limiting because you have to feed the rope through the hole where a simple sling and micro pulley could be hooked in mid line or removed. Looks high quality but, again this would be the far down on my want list of rigging equipment.
Another Pro is to limit moving components. Under heavy load a bearing could fail. And these are much lighter then a Block. The simplicity is key in removing potential equipment failure. As for feeding through the whole length of. Your rope. You would need to plan your redirects accordingly before attempting to rig.

Great job brother 👌
