wow. This fellow is a great teacher. Thanks!

[@scottherndon5563]

Ran across this video and as an Engineer was intrigued. Now i've purchased rope just to learn and practice knot tying. Great Instructor and interesting info even if I never climb a tree.

[@harvey_the_rabbit]

Best canopy anchor video here on KZbin.

[@stephanhuet2421]

awesome video. been looking for that load cell comparison of forces of canopy anchor vs base anchor for months.

[@oxyehho]

What a presentation, thank You so much!:) Yeah most of us know every aspect shown BUT, what a presentation! Bravo! 👏🏼

[@chrisb4419]

I love that anabolic butterfly/ring idea, thank you!

[@TiagoPontes]

Think I'd rather knot it with the ring already in place :s

[@SLOCLMBR]

@@TiagoPontes might mean pulling a bunch of rope through the ring.. however you prefer, but I like it for not having to prep too much..

[@zaineridling]

This has become art (through very good tech). 💯💯💯

[@TciaOrg]

We agree Marquis!

[@sempi8159]

Love this channel ! Very helpful!

[@attyjlee]

Fantastic instructor. Thank you.

[@andylau31hk]

It’s a really good education video for promoting the climbing skills

[@alvarosenoceain9386]

thanks for your class

[@brad2548]

Excellent instruction

[@user-ky6yz2nj5z]

I love these videos wish I could find them in Spanish

[@willk4862]

Closed Captions can't translate it to spanish for you? Click the video settings, go to Captions and there should be "auto-translate". Set it for Spanish

[@wolverinebear5357]

Thankyou very much! 🐸🐸🐸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@dqmc07]

This was great, and its amazing how much difference the weight is between a base anchor and canopy anchor, My big butt needs to keep it to a minimal.

[@getuptheremush2998]

This guys good…. What a teacher

[@tuberider1171]

Anabolic Butterfly - nice - I'm gonna use that

[@wolverinebear5357]

What about tying the throwline to the bowline while using it as the choking canopy anchor? It'll leave you the entire length of your rope to work with an you can retrieve with the tied throwline to pull down the choked bowline knot when finished.

[@justinjones9255]

Great class. Regarding the “Anabolic “ Butterfly, does it matter which side of the butterfly I initially pass the loop back through. I’ve noticed that passing through the front vs back I get a slightly different looking knot.

[@SLOCLMBR]

Yes, I think it matters more for dressing and setting the knot, but not for the strength of the knot.

[@jimisnotunique]

Good annunciation. It is identical to many Evangelical pastors'. So, that annunciation is intentional and can be learned. I didn't know that.

[@marcmancini8275]

the anabolic Butterfly is usually called a Bunny Ears butterfly because you're creating two loops (like a fig 8 with bunny ears)

[@stevefrench9797]

Why did you guys take down the advanced canopy anchors video?

[@starplatinum1311]

good morning I write from Genoa. I'm passionate about treeclimbing. I ask, when you make the butterfly can't you use a carabiner? maybe steel not aluminum?

[@johnmcgowan9044]

side load

[@NoWoke]

I use a butterfly knot and a notch quickie

[@tommiller9485]

Why has the video with Meg Bujnowski been taken down

[@Jesuswillbeback]

Hello Can we use butterfly knot + carabiner and if not why not? Thank you

[@Jesuswillbeback]

Locking carabiner...

[@nickparnell8248]

You wouldn’t want to because you wouldn’t want to side load the carabiner look up how a carabiner should be loaded and you’ll understand what I mean

[@nickparnell8248]

I would get the notch quicke which is as simple as a carabiner but more compact and it can be side loaded with no issue

[@Jesuswillbeback]

@@nickparnell8248 ok, i understand what you mean😉, thanks, best regards from SLOVENIA

[@IndianaCards]

Notch quickie or singing tree quickie works just as well as the ring method.

[@chutimonreichel55]

A ring can't ever accidentally open, a quickie can, so a ring is safer.

[@muskyman26]

We get it. You like your helmet

[@TheRangertoots]

lol, there is always one - great instructor though

[@jondor654]

It might be better to state that the canopy anchor is limited to the true load and that other methods multiply the true load .

[@IndieKidness]

While I agree with the physics of it, doesn't a canopy anchor make it very difficult to lower the climber in the event of injury or unconsciousness? I'm potentially being ignorant - but I've generally used basal anchors for that reason, with a petzl rig and an additional rope to lower the climber. Is there a means to lower someone with a canopy anchor?

[@pproh608]

You should always be prepared to go and get the climber as part of an aerial rescue plan. Have a second set of climbing gear, spikes, rope etc. What good is a basal anchor if the injured climber is lanyarded in? What good is a basal anchor if you can't lower the climber through thick branching trees or even just navigate a limp body past a goofy union? The times when a basal anchor can be used as the sole lowering method in a real work aerial rescue scenario are very limited. I choose between basal and canopy based on how one will better allow me to work the tree over the other. If I'm that worried about an aerial rescue, I'll preinstall a second line to be used as an access rescue line.

[@aerialrescuesolutions3277]

@@pproh608 Well said.

[@UgotSprucked]

but there's no mention of "loading in compression/tension", that whole thing. There's a huge gap in your argument

[@mykolajMykolaj]

Yes,its true.There is big difference between rocks and trees

[@mightyconker3903]

Yeah base tie isn't going to stress a tree and it's not going to be at a big angle

[@Green-he6ht]

Can you explain more
