1yr down-the-line---what are your thoughts? Would love a more in-depth follow-up video as the public-catalogue for Safebloc usage is absurdly low compared to what you'd think it'd be, most hear me say this and shrug it off with "if it was so good then everyone would use it, dummy" (I majored in econ, love it when people think I misunderstand supply/demand because they don't understand the relevance of the level of consumer-sophistication/knowledge to making the 'perfect market' paradigms they learned in econ101 work on-paper!), I figured based on this video that *you* would get it so would love to see you show more as the coverage on these sucks IMO! 1 - would love to know what ropes you've used through it and your thoughts on them, if using the block's SWL recommendation and using the 10:1 yardstick then a 27k bull line would be the max and 3/4" yale polydyne, and 3/4" sterline atlas, seem the only ones that offer that strength in a 3/4" line, anything thicker would be too thick for the Bloc I would imagine. What I'm most interested in, if you happen to have done it, is how the diameter-change affects the friction level, I'm trying to choose between varying diameters of Polydyne right now and 5/8" seems the "best fit", would love to know what diameters (and what cordages) you used and what you thought of their performance with the Bloc (elasticity of the line would be real important in many applications because, second to the friction-contact-surface, the stretch of the line coming-out-of the Bloc would be the determining factor for any given rope when considering whether the Bloc has become the weak-point in the system instead of the rope-at-loading-attachment point) 2 - have you tried the "DBR" / double-block-rigging technique with Safeblocs yet? I was rewatching Dave Driver's videos and saw him DBR a massive chunk using two Blocs instead of pulleys/regular-blocks, I was amazed the line could handle it (and wish I knew what he was using, am betting it wasn't a line with <2.5% elasticity and no thinner than 3/4") Would love to know if you've tried this or any other unconventional/atypical uses IE anything besides solo-Bloc as terminal-anchor? I'm contemplating whether I should get 1, or 2, more Blocs with my next order because I'll *always* want 1 as my terminal rigging point (or part-of it, when doing heavier stuff and pairing an extra sling with a ring aside it) but I've got to thinking that using 1, or even 2, down at the bottom as basal anchors would not just "be worthwhile" but should almost be considered a standard/go-to for rigging, I mean if the idea is predictable-control of falling loads then friction is our friend, we just need it in the right spots in the system, having 1 Bloc at the top is useful both for being gentler to the tree at that anchor-point but also for adding just-enough friction at that-far-into the rigging line.....however if you go way down the line to the base, it'd be helpful to have 1, even 2, more Blocs there, if your kit had a few Bloc slings you could setup most jobs in a way where standard bollards would be unnecessary for half your jobs, and the biggest rigging would be done on an RC-1000 instead of an RC-200*1* because there'd be enough friction above that point to handle the loads....nevermind that the Bloc's inherent "vary your friction-level by holes-used" attribute allows even further tweaking of the setup! Thanks for any thoughts on The Bloc now, a year&a half after you found how in-love with it you (rightfully!) were :D
@jacobsladdertreetech28294 жыл бұрын
This would be a great topic for a new video. I continually use the safe block for control swing lines and for negative chunking. I find that if I'm using 3/4 Sampson line that I do not need additional friction from a parta wrap. If I'm using a 1/2 rope I just put it also in the porta wrap with no wraps. I tend to think small piece small problem and it works great. I have never used it in a double block setup, I tend to like the omni block with that setup as it is way easier to install. The only thing I don't like about the double block setup is log fall is hard to judge and tends to land at your feet and not run. Thank's for the comment!

Thanks a ton for posting this, have a Safebloc en route (no sling, still deciding how to configure it, got the 3-headed rigging-ring sling by X too) and so glad to have watched this video as I loved the idea of using its friction to slow&control items on speedlines (ie using 2 lines, 1 rigging / 1 speedline, for larger loads on speedlines) and that was the only way I'd known for moving heavy stuff - your last cut, where you have both the Safebloc's green rope and then that white rope anchored in another tree so that the two 'caught it together' at the end of its fall to keep it centered, that was *awesome* I had never seen that technique before (Oooh and with the two slings I'll be able to do that too, well once my bull rope is chosen/ordered lol, still using cheap 1/2" line and only doing light-rigging, these two anchors will be my start of real/heavy rigging!) Would LOVE to hear if you still use this / are as enthusiastic after 1.5yrs? Honestly I don't even have mine yet and I'm already thinking to buy a 2nd so I can use the 2nd as a basal anchor and the other up top (I do a lot of 1-man rigging so this type of thing would let me do sooo much more before I required a 2nd person with me!!)

Still love it! Combined with a porta wrap at the base makes for flawless decent. I don't even have my ground man hold the rope. It works best with the 3/4 rope as it gets more friction.

So true, we will have a wraptor or a ronin one day, tell then.lol also wanted to use the technology that the utility company would allow for my buddy Rick's sake they are just now allowing SRS system in oregon.
Definitely not faster I would of been up the tree 5times faster and heres how that rope u set in the tree with the throwball, I would have had someone pull me up from one end while I'm tied on the other with practice u can get in the top of a 60 foot tree in 30 secs I've done it time in time again
I remember the first tree I ever climbed was belaid with a 75 year old man on the other end and praying he didn't have a heart attack.lol I never felt comfortable with that option unless he had a saddle on and used a munters hitch to take my slack. Even then tho if he stepped on a ground nest I would be done.
SRS bruv "stationary rope system"
Yeah and now headache is stand clear. I guess SRS is less scary than SRT? I don't understand why they changed it.lol
You really should have a rope wrench with that mate,for safety sake,if something goes pear shaped you want to be able to descend quickly,without a wrench you’ll mess yourself up being just on the zig zag
I run it that way now, I never had a problem with descent on account of holding my hand below me and taking some of my body weight out of the zigzag.
The only way to go: www.tree-minded.com/p/tether.html. Even better than the next gen zigzag coming out in 2019.
I don't believe so in oregon. They are recommended as they grow slow and not to tall.
Tree of heaven should not be planted it is invasive
To what state? This video was taken in Oregon.
@@shareenjakehibbard Its very invasive in oregon
When I used to SRT with spikes, I try to use the gaff covers if possible. Great video and nice setup.
acpenaloza1983 that's a great tip! I can see how easy you could get yourself with them.
Your gear is not cheap. Nice stuff. Edelrid hooks, Zillion lanyard adjuster,Zigzag prusick, Nice set up make climbing a little nicer.
For sure! I spent 10 years working with a company that forced old school practices only, prusik and Blake's hitch only with leather pads. No throw ball, while u appreciate what they were trying to achieve with safety I ended up with lots of continuous task disorders. When i started my own business I switched to the mechanical friction systems and my elbows, shoulders and knees where better within a couple weeks.
I am 61 and if it wasn't for all the new stuff out there I wouldn't bother. I don't fight technology I embrace it. The old ways where less tools and training intensive. There are a lot of people that just won't put out the effort to learn. Years ago I bought Bashlin aluminums but always hated the pads. I don't know if I can climb enough to justify the Elelrid hooks. I would like to get them and the Zillon for my 20' landyard.
for a moment I thought it was poison Ivy, in which case would have been insane, haha
You soul'd at least splain the dislike.lol
There's always some moron hater, 5:1 odds they have their own channel (and 10:1 odds they're not as skilled as you), no person could read thet title, watch the video, then fairly think it deserved anything but a thumbs-up (I guess no vote if you were anal as hell, but a negative isn't an appraisal of your content it's some d-bag just taking anonymous jabs because they can, video was great!!)

Ok this is scary going to give this old lady a heart attack hahahahahahhah
Yup.lol you can see this tree from the freeway its so big.
That looks like it's off hwy 34
That walnut is ginormous!

I had to climb up a fir full of poison oak 60 feet side limb for a transmission line. That was the worse climb and following four weeks lol.
Dylan Smit i once worked with a guy who said he never gets it and volunteered to climb one of those, he wore rubber rain gear and came to work the next week with it head to toe. Lol that literally is the worst. 🤢🤮
Oh man! Keep up the Videos brotha man!
Did your tree have 3 phase underbuild? I hate that. Lol
Oh yeah, the boss man watched me as I climbed and was telling me how he don't get poison oak. It was on the Salem Albany line. Tons of poison oak around here.
My team and I got caught with unnoticed poison Ivy a couple of years ago, wow the hell that followed. Spent weeks cleaning gear and truck, that stuff is so potent. To this day I still get the od reaction from some lingering oil residue. I now religiously check work sites for any signs of that hellish plant.
or you deside to train?
I don't understand,why you don't use knee ascender or pantin to go up SRT
one of my guys wanted to know how to do it if you didn't have any gear but a saddle and hooks. I was basle anchored with weight on my line to tend the slack as I ascended. Next week I will showcase the HASS knee ascend-er
Jacob's Ladder Tree Tech ,yes I saw
