I love all your videos, you're an awesome teacher!

Clear and comprehensive treatment of the subject. Thanks Patrick

Very well done technique, on the ground with mock up, not fumbling around in tree with lots of cameras and cluttered background of tree limbs/leaves

Always learn something new from you. Thanks.

Good stuff. I like Hamm's arborcare's approach, X rings with huuuuge slings on them. They're simple. Like me.

I like your custom ring sling!

Thanks for these instructional videos. Great information to have.

Realistic prop , and action

Awesome video

Helluva job. Thank you sir. Good to see ya, been a while.

4:20 the rope sleeves come in very clutch. been playing with them for a couple years now. my favorite uses of it are to rig to an adjacent tree when applicable, or to set in the tree im in to immediately start working and rigging the tree on the way up as opposed to going up to set up rigging then coming down. only requirement is to have a good relationship with the throwline gods and hope they smile down upon you that day lol. all in all, makes everything so much more efficient.

Great video.

Muchas gracias. MrEducated Climber.

Lots of good info

Well explained!

Good stuff thanks!

Great video brother, These are great as I hate having to climb back up to retrieve my x ring slings when working multiple spars, (or when your finished and can drop the last spar) as I like to work each one down at the same time. God Bless

true funny short story. way back in the 1990"s we were working , sappy pine ( rigging ) I needed something to stop sapping the rope. we had limited tools , so I put my leather gloves in the crotch LOL, the rope ran smoother and we were some happy tree people with less sappy rope . I've done this a few times in a pinch trying not to damage the tree that was being worked .. Joe

Great idea Joe, I like it

I could see replacing the rope sleeve with a few foot part of smaller fire hose too. Much like industrial rigging use.

Are those mostly 3/4 inch diameter ropes on those rigs?

many times I used two bull ropes with a pully and a trow bag , to Get a line in a adjacent tree just sharing options ..

I have one of the rigging ring to ring, and am now thinking it could work to have a stiffened section leading up to the big ring which would lift the ring around the crotch during retrieval?

still learning. is there a problem with using a double x-ring sling as the climbing friction saver (provided it hasn't been used for rigging) or is there a reason the basic buckingham style rings are better. Thanks for the great info

X-Rings are great for climbing on, but usually tougher to retrieve than a smaller ring

Hey Patrick, nice video. At about 10:00 you say that you never want to mix climbing and rigging gear. Why is that exactly? I would assume the reason is because once something is rigging gear, it's generally of a lower quality or more degraded than your climber gear? And you only want the best with the stuff that is holding you? You might have said somewhere else in the video, so my apologies if that's the case.

yes ,when a line of any type is used for rigging it has had 'impact forces" on it so you would never want to use as life support

Dude, looks like your rigging playlist got messed up, check it out.
