GOOD JOB! I love the double end you can move around faster, safer!

When you discuss mechanical flipline adjustment, I have to say the the Akimbo is far and away, the best option for me, and offers the most options of anything you could put together. Great video!!!

thanks for the overview!

Excellent nick 👍🏼

Very informative, thanks for cutting right to the chase 👍

Thanks, nice video!

I really like the Buckingham "Buck Grab" adjuster. I never have an issue with not being able to let slack out under load. I just stand up a bit and take my weight off of it. I never look at the thing and the orientation of the attachment point on there keeps it from flipping around. I'd like to try that first rope you had there.

Great vid 👍🏼 I recently have been using ocean hitch cord with the Knut hitch and a hitch climber eccentric pulley. Takes up slack fast and grabs reliably. Definitely think using a bidirectional prusik knot is the way to go for most new climbers.

good job.. thanks..

Just got a grillion from these guys and its amazing. Love these videos the rigging demos are great.

That first double adjustable is quite handy, especially limb ascending. But its technically not two attachments as both depend on the same hitch on one side.

Million dollar idea - steel core lanyard for handsaw proof, with braid sheath for hitches, with that chainsaw pant material beneath it to bind up chainsaw. Now go ahead somebody, make that...

I'd get rid of the pulley in a single-hitch, double-ended lanyard setup... I prefer the inconvenience of manually tending a prussik to the risk of taking a 10' fall into my D rings, because that's gotta hurt like hell and then you're left awkwardly dangling with little options for a rescue. Alternatively you can have a full pulley and hitch system on either end of the lanyard. I have a pretty long ~25 ft lanyard with a bare-bones second system (prussik without pulley) on the other side, all my carabiners are triple action 22+kN so I can use them for main life support. It goes as such: [oval carabiner] - (rope)- [

I just want to add that you could choose steel for that last carabiner if you don't mind the extra weight, since it would better tolerate the side-loading that happens in some of these scenarios

Great video..... very good info. I was thinking about it today as I was 80' up on my "orange one" thanks for that😡😅

Great video, should have mentioned the thimble prussic! I run it after the adjuster, use it to hook into my secondary D's so the lanyard is truly two independent systems.

I have been working with some pretty basic.Arborist tree climbing equib. Have been browsing around.To how I could improve equib.Good review The double ended adjustable would have advantages.

Nice stuff there Nick. But I don't understand the bi directional pursick? If I am saying that right???

@TreeStuffdotcom

A bi-directional prusik is one that will grab in both directions, ie if you pull on either side of the host rope, it holds. A standard 3 or (or more) wrap prusik, called english or french prusiks, is bi directional. A VT or schwabisch or similar are uni-directional in that their holding power is really just if you pull one direction. Keep in mind a bi-directional is basicale uni-directional IF there is a pulley behind it, as i show in the video.

When you say you cant load it out with the mechanical adjuster on the wirecore flip line wht do you mean by that? what are the pros and cons of having a normal prussik on a wirecore as opposed to a mechanical one?

@TreeStuffdotcom

What is the timestamp you are asking about? A prusik works fine on a steel core lanyard but given the extra bulk of the lanyard some people prefer the on/off of the adjuster, versus the prusik.

Can someone advise a good prusik rope to use on a 12.5mm wire core lanyard? I would like to give a try to a 2 in 1 lanyard system but don't know wich diameter, material or brand for a prusik I should choose. I saw that there is wire core prusik rope from Yale I think, is it any good?

TEchnically yes, you can use a rock climbing harness. In reality: no as you will swing left/right off the tree and why ALL tree climbing harnesses have D rings on the sides. You can test this out at home with a tree in your backyard. Likewise you can make up a pair of D rings for your rock climbing harness and find out WHY you need them.

Great video, very informative. But please pronounce Prusik "prew-sick". 😆

That is a Rope Logic Steel Core.

Question; when making your own rope lanyard are there types of rope that work best? Im thinking mostly of abrasion and how they run with a prussic or rope grab. I’m looking for something 1/2 to 5/8 diameter.

Why does Tree Stuff still sell the Climb Right lanyard if it's faulty?

@TreeStuffdotcom

The only version of wire core fliplines we sell other than our own are Yale Flemish Spliced Eyes, and the 5/8" version from Climbright. Everything in life fails if it is abused and isn't inspected. The crimped style of wire core fliplines is not unsafe, just prone to failure if used for years on end and not inspected.

So many technical minds in these fields, not where i come from, rigging

Don't know how people keep their work clothes and climbing gear neat clean and pretty! Doesn't take long for my gear to get that dirty and used look. I buy the cheap clothes to work in because at the end of the climbing day my clothes are horribly dirty. Crazy right!

Under what conditions is a Rope Logic crimped steel core lanyard better than Yale's Flemmish Splice? There's no way that a simple crimped steel core lanyard can structurally be better than a Flemmish splice. I call BS

The Rope Logic wire core lanyards are redundant because the eye captures the wire core AND the load-bearing jacket. Plus, it protects the core at all times because there's never any exposed cable.

Considering it's all free for you.... I'd say you do love the best out there.... "I would've fallen, but that's OK". Says the pro.... Not OK.

I did not say that - My point was that IF you were to fall in that situation, the lanyard would still prevent a fall to the ground, which is much better than not being tied in at all. -nick 2:43
