Nice job Sam!!

You should try using a set of TADPOLES to put your rope on the tree. I'll show you how when you click this link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4nQpJyPbMp1n68 Oh I liked your tourniquet method for tying up.

Been waiting to see this method Sam, great work but now I’ll have to spend more money, lol!!!

Good video Sam, I’ve been looking forward to seeing this technique!

excellent video. I'm going to have to explore this

Can you do that in the dark?

Im also working on a 2tc system of my own. And i know we shouldnt rush. But according to video it took you almost 18 min or to get to hunting height. If this is average time with experience i believe ill stick with one sticking. I coukd be at same height in about a 3rd of time or littke more and make no more noise than you did. So idk may have to study into this more.

Sterling HTP works well without additional stiffening.

With respect, I think you and JRB are both creating solutions in search of a problem, and I think both of you miss the concept of simplicity yielding safety.

A bowline should be backed up (like a Yosemite finish) if ever used in a life support application. It will untie if loaded and unloaded multiple times. Not a subjective statement….

Resc tech , I love that rope,

I use a rubber garden hose, either split or not

Cool, you’re doing essentially what I do also, but I am using either the jrb cinch or saddle hunter hitch on my tether rope loops around the tree. But lately I’ve just been climbing and rappelling on the basic double rope jrb system but transferring to a tether on the jrb saddle hunter hitch to get my best hunting position in the tree

I like 2tc, but lately , the JRB climbing method with double rope and then at height reposition with a tether, love the saddle hunters hitch, then just get back on the double rope and rappel, so safe and easy , I’ve gotten ok with a throw ball, most times it’s easy to hit a good crotch and after first climb if I like the tree leave a preset cord, with the JRB I can get up in a big tree, 2tc I tend to use on small trees

Cool use of friction hitches

Your video won’t play

I do 2.TC also, and have an improved system with two bridges on the tree at all times, when you advance top tether and standing on your foot loop you are not attached to the tree, if you slip, and I have had this happen where your foot swings out momentarily you are way off balance and could fall, you are holding the tree with left hand and right leg,but not tied on the tree, maybe think of adding a second bridge and attaching it to your bottom tether for safety, I like your ability to make adjustments to bridge and foot loop in your tethers, I use two JRB friction ascender hitches on each tether, foot loop and leg loop and two bridge to tether connections, The bottom bridge is very short and keeps me close to the tree in case of a slip and it frees up my hands for moving tethers I used to use the running eye or “girth hitch” to make the loop for the tethers but that can drop and be scary, now I use either the JRB cinch of JRB saddle hunters hitch Keep on climbing! These methods allow the tether to be moved easily yet once set will not release until you release them, The running eye can get slack drop anytime weight is taken off it

Here is the link to the original JRB hitch. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWmsg4yalK9gfqM

I’d love to get a two tether system going but it looks super complicated.

can you give the amazon model number?

I like your improvements to the two tether, I like a leg loop on the top tether also , helps put weight on the top tether before sitting all the way into your saddle, and am playing around with using a doubled rope with the jrb saddle hunters hitch, a foot loop and bridge connection on each rope, also thinking of using a web chest harness on the bottom tether attached to the redundant bridge to keep me close to the tree when climbing . Jrb ascender hitches are awesome huh!

Looks cool bro but those knots would bother me. I use the ropeman1 best 40$ ever

This is brilliant. I'd like to use this for my tether instead of a carabiner or a fixed loop. Nicely done.

Excellent

So maybe I missed it but I'm confused how you remote release this from the ground after rappelling?

There's no better feeling than climbing trees. Good climb that you done 😄

I've been wanting to do this as well, would you tell me how you've got that set up? I heard you say you are using a michoacan for adjustment on the bridge side, what hitch are you using on the tether? I'm using a ropeman for my foot loop's connection, what hitch are you using there? Also, I guess you are rappelling down from the top tether, are you able to do that with the jrb hitch?

I am having trouble finding which door trim to purchase. I know you said you cut the bulb off but the ones I am looking at don't seem like they will be big enough. Car door seal with top bulb? Don't see any that are listed 10mm. Great find and looks like it will be awesome.

A friend from saddlehunter.com will be doing a couple official drop tests in mid-September to certify the strength and hold of the 'SNEAK' girth hitch!

I like what you are doing. I appreciate you sharing it with us. I is great to see different approaches to climbing. I am curious what you are using to protect your oplux? Is that a rubber shield? Would you be willing to show in more detail the tether setup and how you made it? Similarly, more detail with the foot sling. Thanks again for your contribution!!!!

What is the strength of that second bridge attachment rope?

I climb back down with my 2TC. This will be the third season I've used my 2TC system, and have a good number of videos posted.

Can u show us how u r using the carabiner to secure tethers?

That is a neat idea. Thanks for demonstrating. The one comment I have is, just tie the bowline, set it hard and leave it. It will serve as a stopper knot AND already be available for your pull down cord. That will save time always having to untie and re-tie two different knots.

Really interesting concept. I like the ingenuity and repurposing of the foam roller. Do you use the Roller components asa ring of steps also?
