I know you're busy Patrick and I understand 100%, but if you have time can you post more climbing videos like this please I learn a lot from your videos like this God bless stay safe

[@monkeylodgepanama474]

the same for me, I learn a lot too.

[@norbertriojas]

Me too!

[@DM-rp7ps]

Me three!

[@austinsmith3749]

Can’t wait for the next one! Thanks for carving out some time to bring us along. Daisy chain hitch has been a game changer for me and I’ve taught it to a few other guys who absolutely love it. Stay safe and keep ‘em comin’!

[@br-dj2ti]

I always think about Patrick that one big job you did right by the lake and the winter time them were some huge pieces you were taken amazing man God bless

[@firedtradesman]

Tremendous value in this kind of footage. Thanks so much as always for taking the time to share. Helluva job! 🙂

[@joshuaarneson5694]

34:52 your ground guys know what they are doing. I would say you know too lol. You are a master of the craft sir.

[@angryjay06]

Sooo I like the idea with the steel snap clip with the sling for the but tie. Another piece of kit I use is a mini porta wrap on self made ultra sling made out of 1/2" so its super light weight. It enables the climber to take wraps so it doesn't rip the groundies arms out and you are still able pull it off to use as a tag. Give it a shot. Thanks for all your content. I know its a lot of work between videoing and editing. Keep up the excellent work.

FINALLY PART 2 !!! Thank you

[@thalgott3]

These videos are amazing! I am always dumbfounded by the expertise you demonstrate your trade!

[@Demodad68]

Gotta give made props to your ground guys, they do a hell of a job!!! People so underestimate the value of the guys on the ground.

Got to give credit to your rope man he is awesome and the other guy as well great ground guys buddy

[@vrewald]

Hey Patrick - long time listener first time caller... :) Great videos. What's your favorite friction hitch positioning lanyard setup to use? I'm getting ready to replace my old Hawkeye lanyard and prusik and am looking at the Tritech with Bail-out prusik. What's your favorite combo and why? Also - daisy chain hitch is a complete game changer!!!!

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

Currently using a 25ft chunk of 11mm Endurance, spliced with a double action isc snap on the one end. Using 28" Armor Prus eye-to-eye hitch cord

[@korygrandy6133]

What a nice Maple to be able to climb and rig. I wish mine were this wide open in the canopy. I learn a lot every time I watch. Curious what brand boots you wear when gaffing.

[@florianmeyer5352]

Respect 😮

[@thegreenrevival4424]

Was thinking on when you’d have more Videos posted, Only yesterday. Cheers!

[@ItreboR63I]

Hi Patrick love your videos. Is there anyway to get the subttles to work? They seem to be missing from a few of your videos.

[@justinjones9255]

Really enjoy this long form, minimal edit format. Too pften creators edit put what they think is the boring stuff like rope mgmt, setting slimgs etc when that can be so valuable to the viewer.

[@Dazrena]

Helluva job to you and your crew. Thank you for taking the time to bring us along with you. I'm curious how you think that Buckingham saw carrier stacks up. It looks like it's working pretty slick and I like how compact it is.

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

The Buck carrier is awesome. It comes with a bit of rubber hose and a zip tie to secure it in place, but works better without the zip tie because my saw always gets caught on it...

[@Dazrena]

@@TreeMuggs_PatrickM Thanks for the reply. I'll add that to my gear list.

[@jakejames9041]

Nice work. Interesting use of the daisy chain knot for easy untying on the ground I guess. But why not use a double wrap with karabiner and fisherman’s? Is it not easier to ascend the trunk with a neck tether or chest harness. I’d say god bless but I’m not American 😂

[@usefulcontent9894]

What is that hitch you use to tie to the branch for lowering. The one with the daisy chain in the tail.

[@TreeGrunt]

How do you like the buckcarrier for your chainsaw? Has your chainsaw come out of it before while climbing ?

[@stihlcuttin5784]

Hey man, watched your videos for a long time. Everything very deliberate and thought out. What device are you climbing on? Looks like a srt spider jack lol

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

Bulldog Bone

[@paulbirgerson5475]

Hi! so the dog-bone is your new favorite? what about the akimbo, roperunner? and where do you get the dog bone? I should appreciate if you tell a little about the different betwen them, and why you choose the dog-bone. I´m a guy from sweden and i´m impressed of your job //Paul

[@zamora415]

Hello greetings sorry how long does the battery of the chainsaw last more or less

[@JadensRedemption]

Agreed. Head cut😅

[@rollofnickles]

First time I've seen anyone climb with spurs and no lanyard.

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

I have a lanyard

[@rosendoislas7915]

What kinda of ascending device is it? Is it the akimbo or roper runner?? Great videos btw!

Long head , aïe aïe aïe !

[@StickyManMaxxx]

surprisngly cathartic watching someone climb. What's the hitch you're doing to tie off the bits being rigged down? I usually just have a karabiner on a loose bowline and choke it off. Maybe your way is better

[@snowyseb]

G'day, curious about no backup on the bowline for your main tie in?

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

I feel like the spliced eye itself functions as the backup. Without the splice I would have backed it up... - Patrick

[@snowyseb]

@@TreeMuggs_PatrickM Fair point, I know it's one of those unrealistic things for the bowline to roll out and need the stopper..

Climbing up the lean

[@nickparnell8248]

Can you give me a quick explanation as to why your tie in should be above the rigging compared to below?

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

I just try to tie-in as high and central as possible. This usually puts me either above or level with the rigging... - Patrick

[@br-dj2ti]

Patrick question for you buddy that's a hard maple it seems like when you're gaffing up it you just step really lightly do you have your spikes super super Sharp I always like have to pound mine in maybe I'm more comfortable hitting them in hard but your way looks so much easier any tips on that thank you

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

I rarely sharpen my spurs, once every few years, most trees I just try to step normally and trust that they will sink in. Every once in a while I get into a really hard tree where I will have to pound each step in, very hard on the body... - Patrick

[@br-dj2ti]

@@TreeMuggs_PatrickM yeah you are exactly right. have you ever gaffed out I'm sure you have I just worry if I don't step hard I'm going to gaff out I've never gaffed out to be honest. can you tell me a little bit about gaffing out like what would happen I'd be caught immediately right if I had my lanyard on

[@ericharris893]

@@br-dj2ti I’ll chime in my friend, gaff out situations vary. Smooth bark or no bark on the tree can let the lanyard slip and roll and could be dangerous. Use a Prussik on the lanyard so it can’t slip down if you gaff out. If I foresee a situation like that while I’m working, I’ll just go around the tree twice with my long lanyard. If I know it’s a sketch climb on beech, striped maple or dead ash I’ll use a prussik from the git-go. If there’s bark on the tree and you gaff out, it’s just going to jerk you into the tree. If there’s a nub or stick left, it will magnetically aim towards your rib cage or scrotem. Your Inner forearms knuckles and face take most of the shock tho. You get used to it. I gaff out on big bark trees. The smoother or shallower bark holds the gaffs better. The mature bark on locust, sugar maple, or white pine can be a bitch.

[@adumboone]

Just commenting as I watch so sorry if you say this already in the video buy what are you climbing on with that blue moon?

Bulldog Bone, my favourite mechanical

@@TreeMuggs_PatrickM oh snap yeah the creator (I just found out) is from waxhaw nc! Thats around where im at! Im always on the hunt for the best mechanical. Dont like the zig zag and I'm not sold on the RRpro . using the akimbo now. Iv always preferred a rope hitch cord

Rip.

[@JadensRedemption]

Rig point

[@JadensRedemption]

Why high stump it?

[@maximilianpierce5115]

that device on your personal rope looks a pain to have to keep pulling slack through. why not use an ascender so it slides freely up the rope as you climb and decend with a decender like a rope access technician?

[@snowyseb]

Tree work is a tad more dynamic with movement, not just up and down compared to rope access.

[@TreeMuggs_PatrickM]

This type of climbing device is known as a multicender, allows easy up and down in a single device. We go up and down, up and down way more than a lot of other rope access trades, wouldn't make sense to keep switching devices between ascent and descent...
