Love your videos a lot! I’ve been in the industry for about 7 months and I’ve been starting climbing lately and these videos have given me a lot of good tips! I honestly don’t know what I’d be doing without these videos!

Thanks Bino! I was wondering that option since your last jet set video. I tried the michoacan Hitch with 5 wraps around rope, works really well, this setup is perfect for me that I still waiting get my rope runner pro, keep them coming

Cool idea. I've seen people use ascenders before in DdRT, and the funny thing is the way the 2:1 works against them by doubling the number of steps. Here by locking the limb up top, you change it back to 1:1, basically SRT. One problem I can see here is the way you could get stuck half way up, if for example your foot ascender falls off or breaks. If the prussik freezes, you'll need to relieve that tension before the prussik can release and allow you to rappel down. So skill with footlocking might come in handy one day, after all.

Bino H more than welcome. Iv picked up a few tip from you since if started watching you're Chanel. 👍🏻🌲👍🏻

Only had one issue with the Jet Step. The offset on the back side where the rope fair lead (the silver hook) is bradded to the frame was putting painful pressure on my ankle. I am wearing leather boots with a liner. I tried adjusting the Jet Step to locate in front of my ankle but it keeps moving back to my ankle. I solved the issue by putting a piece of the Walmart blue camping foam pad BEHIND the top adjustment strap. No more pain. The foam pad measures 2 3/8 inch wide X 3 1/2 inch tall. Or 60.325mm X 88.9mm. By putting the foam pad BEHIND the top adjustment strap and cinching the strap down tight the foam will stay in place.

From here, I can go anywhere on the 🌳. But now, I'm going to go down. Quit while u r ahead my friend. Glad that the Jetstep doesn't do rope damage. There r so many gadgets out there that it's confusing which holds up over the long haul. Thanks for your time & effort. 😊 Tell Noah he's doing a great job editing.

I have one and I really like it. But I'm a little intimidated still like you it's still pretty new to me period but of course I climb a little differently than you. I normally use a hand Ascender with it, on a sling step. It works really well it's almost like walking up the tree. I really like your videos keep up the good work Buddy.

Hi @BinoH, just wanted to know: what kind of carabiner do use here?

The higher you can set your tie in, the more SRS makes sense. You may advance to the point of using SRS for most climbs, and ditch body thrusting altogether. The Michoacan is a great hitch for that setup. I find it functional without the need for a rope wrench, though a dedicated SRS device does perform better.

I'm not an arborist but sherriltree gave me one free when I spent $400 so I got a rope and a knee ascender you reviewed and a few odds and ends. I should get it soon. Wish me luck

Kinda a newer climber, can I MRS with a hitch climber setup with a installed friction saver and just footlock? I am curious it works but I’m scared of stretching out my rope (1/2”). Thanks for all the content Bino!

@BinoH

It sound like a modified foot lock where you have your regular climbing setup and you foot lock the running end. That's okay to do. You don't need to worry about stretching your rope as long as it's a rated climbing rope.

Hey Bino, nice video I had a question, how would you advance a tree in a SRT method with a Basal anchor ? I’m new to srt. Thanks in advance

@BinoH

3 жыл бұрын

You would do it in the same way you redirct making sure you have enough rope. If you are advcaning higher than you can reach, you thow your line over the avancing tie in. Make sure you are connected with your lanyard disconnect your climbing system and reconnect to the line comming down from your advance tie in.

Thanks for the video Bino! What type of footwear is needed to properly use the Jet Step? Without getting specialty shoes, that is. Your view up the tree was fantastic...

So far we have used them on Caterpiller boot and my Arbpro Andrew boots. It seem to me though if you have a work boot with a small hill it should work.

Looking forward to chatting with you as far as my rope wrench setup is looking.

I used to climb DRT by just chucking my rope from crotch to crotch but now I have use a throw line and my jet step to ascend and it’s the best thing seconds to rope walking and is also easier on the body

Great good to hear!

The Jet Step performs great for a foot ascender, but it is my last choice. The hook has been an issue in the tree and on the ground. It even ripped a hole in one of my chainsaw pants. The cam design and ambidextrous use is great. I just wish they would use a latch instead of a hook. My preference is the ISC Strider, or the CT Quick Step.

@BinoH

Good to hear about the performance of it. I haven't had them hook my pant but I can see how that would be a drag having the hook rip your pants. The Stider and Quick Step are nice options. Might be nice if they had two option latch or a hook. Thanks for sharing!

@@BinoH One big advantage of the hook is you don't have to explain much to beginners. A lot of first timers have trouble with latch mechanisms, but the hook is self explanatory.

Is there any reason other than for the sake of demonstrating a basic quickie-less procedure that you’re not using a quickie here? Just got mine and used it for the first time and had a blast but seeing your end go through your butterfly gave a me a little bit of a shock

@BinoH

Yes a Quickie in a spliced eye or butterfly with a short tail with a Quickie. I was focusing on using the Jet Step on regular rope and entering a tree for climbers who have not used a stationary system. To add two components the Jet step and a Chest harness/ Leash or Landyard to pull your hitch up. It may help them to see the beauty in the SRS system.

Wouldn't it be easier to just use a running bowline, then you wouldn't need to take the hitch climber off the rope when you got up there, you'd just need to put your fishermen knot in the end of your line and be ready to go DRT/MRS.

@BinoH

True but I wouldn't want to show a bowline on a climbing application because there has been times when the bowline has come undone. Might be better to use a butterfly with a short tail or a quickie in a spliced eye.

Fair enough. I use a bowline with Yosemite tie-off every day as a full time climber. But like you say a quickie or alpine would also work.
