5 options for Safe Retrieval of friction saver
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
We show you 4 options of safe and soft retrieval of your friction saver so that you dont damage the metal parts and potentially risk the structural integrity.
00:00:00 - Intro
00:00:36 - Option 1 Pass throwline or rope over a branch abover friction saver then clip to friction saver in the canopy. This line will then be used to control the retrieval. It can also be used to pull back up incase the friction saver gets stuck in a union.
00:02:44 - Option 2 Throwline high into the canopy, ensure throwline comes down the exact path of your rope. Clip throwball to the tail end of your rope above the friction hitch. Pull the ball as high up as possible. Retrieve the friction saver and the use the throwline to control decent.
00:05:13 - Option 3 Tie throwline onto eye of rop next to retrival ball. Retrieve ring and ring saver as normal. Throwline will loop over the tie in point and create 4 legs of throwline to conrtol descent.
00:06:12 - Option 4a Use the tail of your rope , place it over a limb on the way down. Tie a bowline around the part just above your hitch. Descend to the ground. retrive as normal and the friction saver will catch on the bowline on the end of your rope.
00:08:52 - Option 4b Use a throwline from the ground instead of the tail end of your rope, but the same principle as option 4a.

Most all time I just catch it lol, BUT… I’ve gotten stuck on more than a few occasions so I love the high line to pull back up. Thank you and I can’t wait to try it Dan. Have a good day
Dan Holiday. I never got into friction savers. I tried a couple times but they can be such a hassle. In fact, the only reason I used them for a min was to create a false crotch on a bare stem. I just let my rope run over limbs. I've found it doesn't mess up my rope in any substantial way. Thanks for the video Dan Holiday! 🤠 Do something wild cowboy.
Enjoyed the video. The first was the best. Attaching a throw line (or the end of your climb line if long enough) above the saver allow pulling up if your stuck pulling down. Good video.
Small oval screw up things like a mallion rapide, from the ironmongers part of most hardware stores are great for retrieval, works great with splice eyes and no risk of throwline wear on the climbing line.
Dan, I think you have a Master's Degree in Throw Lines & Friction Savers. This is a really great vid!

Good vid. For the first technique though, since you have to return to the friction saver anyway, why not just remove the friction saver and descend without it installed? That's what I generally do. It's hardly going to be an issue for either the tree's cambium or save you any effort for a one off final descent to the ground.
thanks for the tip

@@ClimbingArborist yea starting get worse eye sight I love that focus..the splice is amazing...inhave 2 bluemoon s as well .and now samsom dry vortex..petzl flow 11.6...ivy and others but focus is sweet
I was wondering Dan if u could do a video on the Dan House conduit style friction saver? I like to use them in a girth hitch configuration when there's just a single branch with no union like a pine tree. 😮

@@ClimbingArborist I view that as being an item that u either use once & leave up in a 🌳 to return to later by tieing it into the 🌳 with paracord. Only way I can see it working out
Sorry.....Dan !
