    I think I know why Kevin brought you along. You are a good story teller, have a large audience, and a great guy to hang out with. What you and Kevin did for these students will have a long-term impact on their careers and their understanding of canopy biology.

    Great video! So awesome! Glad to support those students doing the canopy research. Any time you have students looking in areas that haven't been studied very well, they are bound to find something unique that will hopefully be published for all to learn from.

    Amazing video! Also, as an FYI, the rules vary based on airline and destination, but in this case if you would've sprung for First Class tickets your 1st and 2nd checked bags would've been complimentary and could've been 70 lbs. each!! Then you would've only been paying for the 3rd, 4th and 5th bags. But either way, it was a successful trip!

Thank you for teaching others what you do. When I first started watching your videos you were teaching the difference in the ropes you use to climb and protect yourself. You are a natural born teacher and you are in your element. Can’t wait to see the next video. Glad you are back home safe and sound.

    You are a good man, Jake; Kevin makes things look easy on a rope, I noticed the body suit he had on. To go and see firsthand beats sitting on the couch any day, I was with you up to the bugs and bees. Teaching others to climb safely all starts on the ground with having good gear and patient instructors. Having sponsors that support your work is over the top, I'm sure the Mayan Rain Forest Climbers will take care of the new gear and put it to good use for many years to come. Stay awesome and safe.

    At 34:00. I can sympathize with the bees, ants and beetles. I found the same when climbing trees doing an orchid survey in Fiji near Suva in 1991. Climbing to the tops of both jungle trees and tall trees growing in tidal swamps. Not fun with the ants and bees!
    However, I did discover 6 new species of orchids and prove a wider distribution of another from the Solomon islands to Fiji 😁😎
    Oh and I was only an amateur Orchid grower but worked with a few of the big orchid researchers of Australasia and Pacific. All done with CITES permits and clearances.

    Howdy Jake, what an experience getting to work and travel in Guatemala! I was blessed to go on a church mission trip in 1991 to Coban. Totally different experience as Coban is in the highlands of Guatemala. We had a trip planned to go to Quetzaltenango and down into the jungle part of Guatemala to experience the difference in climates. However that part of the trip was canceled, as at that time there was guerrilla activity that made it to dangerous. I wasn't attacked by ants, bees or what appeared to be scarab beetles from the movie the Mummy but did get bitten by some bedbugs. Thanks for documenting and sharing your trip as it as brought back some wonderful memories of the beauty of the people and country of Guatemala. Have A Day! ;~)

    IMHO the akimbo doesnt seem that much of an improvement to your "average two handle" setup. it might be a quarter of the size and weight* as the two handles, but personally it seems much harder to use. the two handle method (dunno what its called professionally) was super smooth and you barely went out of breath. each handle is more or less just a line-break with a footsling attached to it. so you put weight on the lower handle, push up the upper. then the other way around. its literally like climbing a ladder and since they were "handles" you dont have to hold the line with your hands. an additional sling from the upper to your belt/chest-rig could be used to just "hang in there". :D
    quick search found these "QUICK UP PLUS HANDLE ROPE CLAMP" that look similar to what i used, just 20 years younger.... mine were "full wrap" which made resting your hands in them super easy as well.
    * with modern handles, they might be similar in weight an size.
    Would you mind trying out different climbing techniques / comparing them for a future video?
