This is really helpful! I've tried some of these, but it's so helpful to see them all compared together. And I appreciate your words at the end. "If you're going to do something new in tree work, do it low and slow." Couldn't agree more!
Excellent options. As for the bridge system I have a saddle I use to work up in 🌳 with. It has a girth hitch on the left side with a large sewn loop & on the right side the Samson 11.4mm rope bridge has a 9mm Sterling double-eye hitch where i use a Michoacon. That double eye is attached to a carabiner that is not re-movable since i have a poor mans ascender so with 1 hand i can shorten my bridge. That bridge can be close to 4 feet in length with a good stopper knot @ the end. That carabiner is attached to the loop & can't be removed since i used that waterproof adhesive by Gorilla Glue on that screw tighten oval Carabiner & it's like Flex Seal. My linemans is nearly identical but it it's 9 feet long. I do the opposite with the left side being non-removable when attached to the left side linemans loop which is sewn into the saddle. I daisy chain the end of that & run it around my backside & attach it to the linesman loop on my right side. I do this for continuity & orientation purposes. Below that bridge i installed a secondary line bridge which is made up of 8mm Steling Oplux. It stays out of the way & is very much not in the way. The oplux simply passes through the large loop on the left below my primary bridge. On the right side that Oplux Is attached using a configuration of a blakes hitch but i use a small link that u remove from tye end of a steel link chain. It contains the hitch & makes it adjustable. What's nice about it is that u can adjust it to be longer or shorter but u pull on the one piece of the rope that leads to a large sewn loop. When u do this the Oplux easily slides through that loop on the left side but when u load it the system doesn’t budge. ➕️ the carabiner on the working end of your climbing line is now attached to a Double Oplux bridge which is comforting. Take care Bino & how is your son doing in the Arborist trade?
That first system you showed is da bomb. I call it the o rig. I use a thin accessory cord prussic loop with a small accessory biner. I also tie an anchor bend to close the system instead of the eye, it lets me move the system closer to me without bending the splice. I love it for conifer work. No good for working with other systems though. Can't v rig off it, or connect a second system to the hc pulley. But on its own, it's brilliant.
Hey bino. Must have missed this one when it came out. This is awesome. I love your floating prusiik and I really love the longer bridge extension idea to get the hitch higher up the rope.
Thankyou great explanations. Just watch out for the time of day shooting, as with sun in background makes the shadows too dark and hard to see the rig/knots sometimes.👍🙏
The second system is good too, but lots of tying knots. I have a dyneema sling that I can larkshead to a bridge ring, the other end clips to my hc pulley with a separate biner. That allows me to take my hc off my bridge and move it away from me whilst never being untied or unclipped.
@@DBSLAW88 hats off to the likes of people like Bino H here. I never seem to be able to make the time for anything like a RUclips channel. I very much recommend that you watch the 'hitchclimbers guide to the canopy' with Taylor H. Watch it a lot ! Try and break down every little bit and master it, he covers a few great things there. Watch everything that Taylor H has done, it'll be a great guide in the right direction for hitchclimbers.
If I was going to use one I would probably use the Hitch Climber system. I probably wouldn't use this unless it was a high ascent, if it was to climb into the canopy about twenty feet high I would just tend my line as I ascend.

Thanks a lot, Bino.
You have a great way of explaining these things.
Keep staying safe.
Thank you, I will

Thanks for sharing! He is working in Social media. Take care!
Thank you Dino for putting these videos out I am just getting into tree climbing and I find them very interesting and educational
You are very welcome!
Love it. More climbing techniques
Thanks

Video on this would be great. #new to tree climbing

Very nice informative video's thank you
You're welcome and thank you!
I currently use that same rope, great for both single rope and double rope systems.
I agree it hold up very well also!
this was a great video and demo! thankyou
You're welcome!
Hello Bino. Nice systems. What do you think about zigzag and can you make a video about using it? I've learn a lot by watching your channel.
Great suggestion!
Self tending hitch systems! I'm poor at English. This video is very helpful.
What do you mean by 'tending'? Thank you.
Tending means that when you pull your rope the climbing hitch moves up the rope without you pulling the slack out of the line.
Where did you get a tight eye on a drenaline? Is that something y’all are offering now?
I got it from Bishop company here in California. Bishco.com
Dear sir
Could you tell me please how big of static climbing rope diameter for a climber weigh 68 kg?
Thank you
Here in America it's 24 KN = 5,400 pounds.
@@BinoH
Could you tell me about rope diameter please? What is rope diameter should I use for tree climbing ?
Thanks
Bino what is your favorite hitch for drt? With a pulley
My favorite is the Michoacan.
Can you use a rescue pulley for this system or does it have to be a micro pulley
Does it look like a fusion aluminum rescue pulley? if so yes it can be used. same answer to the question of the Distel video.
Could you add a foot ascender to those systems?
I'm not sure if it would work good with the self tending system but you could on a regular system.
WHICH ONE OF THESE DO YOU PREFR ?
If I was going to use one I would probably use the Hitch Climber system. I probably wouldn't use this unless it was a high ascent, if it was to climb into the canopy about twenty feet high I would just tend my line as I ascend.

Hey Vino I'm a big how can I get you the mentor me?
Thank you, I've made videos from basic to intermediate. I think they may help you out. Take care!
I'm not a fan of the third system. I'm not comfortable with my treemotion being loaded like that.
It's nice to have options. Thank you!
