Adjustable Friction Saver (MY FIRST TIME USING IT)

[@johnnyorganez2072]

To make it lighter on your flip line, you can always use a non cable one with aluminum snaps. But, I use to prefer cable flip line for removals and palms and a non cable for pruning. Palm trees were the first tree I climbed as a rookie. Cool memories! I’ve seen very talented climbers get intimidated when having to climb palm trees. Good work bro!

[@mr.benitezhimself]

Thanks bro! I love how light the Petzl zillon is when I climb palms with it. But yeah, wire core is the smartest thing! I appreciate you watching this 🌴🌴🌴* aluminum snap would be nice

I USE THE ADJUSTABLE FRICTION SAVER @ 5:55

Saludos amigo gracias por compartir tu trabajo y experiencia aprendemos mucho con tus videos

I love the adjustable. I 2 different ones. I would have put one more wrap on that prusik to make the friction saver tighter on that palm. but it worked!

[@mr.benitezhimself]

You want at least 2+ inches on the friction saver for you to retrieve it from the ground safely 🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴

Cut the big snap off with a angle grinder the clip a nice caribeanor threw it

[@mr.benitezhimself]

I really want to but I don’t have an angle grinder. Going to look into getting a spiced landyard, or wire core if possible 🌴

Hey bro I watch all your palm tree trimming videos !! Dope 👍 I wanted to ask you .. what gloves are good to buy so when I'm up in the Mexican fan palm I can grab the palm frawns and not get poked ? Do you have a link for gloves??

[@mr.benitezhimself]

You can buy the gloves I use here amzn.to/3eyOGaG

Ok gracias

[@arr2ro]

Can you tell me what rope is that one. Good video

[@iwontbebeat7111]

He says on other comments , it is Yale Blue Moon 11.7 mm

[@odinsonslayer]

How do you like it? Do you just run your rope through the rings? And what size rope are you running with your zigzag? I'd like to get a rope with a closed loop like yours, but my zigzag is hard enough to get on the rope already lol

[@mr.benitezhimself]

I love it! Yes just straight thru the rings. I’m using the blue moon Yale rope. I believe it’s 11.5 mm. Super smooth on the zigzag 🌴

[@iwontbebeat7111]

@@mr.benitezhimself Excuse me , How many feet of climbing rope you usually buy ?

[@scottishmale1970]

[@quinnpritchard8947]

Will rain hurt it? Can I leave it outside in the rain?

[@mr.benitezhimself]

I wouldn’t leave it outside in the rain

[@jessebrown1497]

How do you charge for skinning a palm and is it ever worth your time to do skinning jobs? Would love to know.

[@mr.benitezhimself]

Very well worth it Charge by the foot or the whole tree

[@johnnyorganez2072]

Isn’t that the tree squeeze?

[@mr.benitezhimself]

I think the tree squeeze is wire core? Not sure but this isn’t the tree squeeze

[@johnhildebrand1991]

Tree squeeze is like what linemans use the like flat strap with buckles n such

[@1luxuryliner440]
