Great job. My 2 cents on this, I would tie a double fisherman's knot at the end of the prusik. The fisherman’s knot will handle the stress of a fall better. Otherwise great video.

Great video man…that looks very similar to what I do 😂 keep spreading the word! The only thing I would add to the video is make sure that you don’t have much slack in your knot, because if your knot goes through the carabiner then when you let go it’s gonna work in reverse all the way down the tree lol

Hey man what ropes are you using? This trick works great for my lineman belt because I don’t put much weight on it, but with my tether when I put all my weight into it the prussick gets too tight to tend one handed.

Works! Mind blown!! Thank you!!

@Jeremy Byng nice video; good tip, and well produced. Based on how well those prusik loops slid on your main lines, I'ld say that you found an optimal pairing for rope sizes. That said, talking about your safety here, I couldn't really tell how those prusik loops were terminated -> if those were overhand knots to close them off, then that's a clear no-go; those need to be a figure-8, or a double fishermans. The issue with an overhand knot is that they tend to roll, and it looks like you have less than an inch of tail after that knot [ scared the hell out of me, for your sake ]. If I were you, I would address those immediately. Secondly, your tending method should NOT be attempted with a screw-gate carabiner; and really should be done on the spine-side of the carabiner to avoid accidentally opening the gate.

@@jerbyng also as someone who professionally and recreationally uses ropes (arborist and rock climber) I strongly suggest giving yourself a longer tail on the end of your prusik knot. it looks very short on camera, knots will work themselves a little bit loose over time and usage so leaving at least an inch or two of tail will save your life. just looking out for ya bud, happy hunting!

@@andrecharlebois705 that’s what I was taught. I’ve seen lots of JRB videos and he’s very safe with years of experience and he recommends a hunters bend. It’s a whole lot easier to tie and untie to adjust or what not but very secure. Probably 5 seconds once you get hang of it. I’ve used the hunters bend on probably about 30 climbs now and always inspect carefully and they don’t budge. Of course I still leave a few inches.

I recognize your tether rope from Amazon. I have the same rope. I also use a prusick to tend my tether

I wondered how they did this, thanks!

Nice! Thank you very much~^^

Learn something new everyday!

I will be doing that from now on.

Lot of comments about termination which should be offset so biner doesn’t rest on knot regardless of type

What is a good length for a tether, I am 5 ft 9 in tall the trees that I am looking at to climb are basket ball size or so give or take.?

try a kleimherst prusik sometime . it doesn't get stuck as standard prusiks can .

Good video! Your tail on your knots should be 4x the diameter of your rope as a rule. I see you’re double tied in but I imagine there’s a time when you aren’t!

What rope are you using for youre tether and linesman and you’re prusic knots ?

Sehr cool 💪

Slicker than owl snot 👍

Glad I didn't buy a ropeman. First I found out I could use a simple loop. Now I see you don't even need that. I'll have to test the biner method first to see how smooth it is. I know the loop method is pretty smooth. Either way the prusik is cheaper, safer and quieter than a mechanical device.

Look on jrb tree climbing and saddle hunting, jrb soft bridge mode, or jrb non jamming variant, they are self tending ascending hitch, and works better then a prusik

What termination knots are you using on your prusiks? Is it just an overhand knot? A double fisherman's or hunters bend is generally preferred.

good idea, but try with a michoacan or a machard friction hitches, with the two ears into the carabiner, the rope allways goes on the midle / hugs for you man

If you read a bunch of the comments on the video you’ll find lots of advice on knots. This is the prusik that came with the XOP saddle setup and I have since changed both of them to a different prusik and tied them with double fisherman’s knots instead of the unsafe overhand knots it came with. I am now using 10mm tether with an 8mm prusik, and a 8mm lineman’s with a 6mm prusik.

Im completely new to saddle hunting. How would this be helpful for me in climbing the tree with a one stick? Very curious because I would like to add new ideas to make my life easier lol Thanks!

@@kevingeary1472 I’ve never used the power ascender,, it’s about $4000.00 . You are right about the rope runner pro though, it’s an amazing device for working in a tree. Arborist gear has came a very long way from where I started using knots to swing around in a tree while wearing the most uncomfortable belt n spikes imaginable. Setting a rope to walk up was unheard of then and you just spiked up the tree. Your safety lanyard better be adjusted on the ground because they were nearly impossible to do anything with once you got up in the tree.

You might want to rethink the knots you are using with the prusik. Research the double fishermans knot for prusiks. Its a certified life safety knot. Also, research arborist techniques as you are climbing a tree and not a pole. Any goof can climb a pole LOL.....

Hey check out jrb tree climbing channel he has some really great things on his channel

Maybe less, I can go out and check if you would like

Please retie and reposition the knot in your prusik. Also on your linesman, your prusik should be a smaller diameter rope than your main line. Showing folks how to do something, as you are clearly doing things in an unsafe manner is borderline negligence.
