Interesting piece of kit. What I have always done is tied the sharp end of my DRT system in a running bowline around the working side, thus providing a choking system, then either tying a double overhand or using the splice and inserting a carabiner, running the brake hand side of the rope up into the carabiner to allow decent on a single strand and the system is retrievable from the spar.
I hate to say it years of climbing a tree, i just now used a choking friction saver for DRT. Cant believe i use to just spike and lanyard spars, kind of ignorant. Full believer in it now.
This could have been a good video BUT - *NOTHING was visible.All I saw was rope flapping around and heard klink klink.The second demo was a little better but you guys are NOT teachers! Next time check the video - can all actions be seen or not otherwise it is a waste of time.

Arturo Gomez here, Great job guys. I love the constant Communication
my Dad used to do this. He also used to dance on the floating log booms...so amazing to watch.

worked for these guys back in 2019 in Oakhurst. Great experience, would do again.

Awesome video, Thanks!
Would have helped greatly if the climber had a helmet cam so we could see exactly what he was doing.
thank you for the feedback. We will make sure to include that in the future.
Simple but amazing =D
Thanks bro
Nice
It's ok. Little much on the ansi though.
Who follows ansi standards anyhow. We're tree climbers they should already know that we're crazy lol.
Good demo tree people ..
Friction device is nice till the tree is 3 ft thick at the base then 6 inches thick at the top. I just choke my climb line. Easier
ສາບາຍດີ Lao
Shouldn't you be tied in a choked system on your way up?
Guy talks and looks like reon rounds.lol😅

Thank you for the feedback. We will focus on making things more visible next time.
Look okay to me
