Sounds like Mick Jagger... On Stellar Street. Funny how quick the setup is in video... But in the real world take for fricking ever... More vids!

[@peterperigrino5269]

I’m just one part of a 2man crew.....and I like the rescue set up you did .....very nice.......thanks for info an vid.........

[@REECOIL_DOT_COM]

Thanks bro! We have more videos dropping next week. This setup isn’t for every situation (obviously) but works so well when you need it. Climb safe bro 😊🤙

[@brendanthebattlerstafford5145]

Thank you for the content and your feedback on the SRT devices you’ve used. Bloody good quality footage 👊

[@REECOIL_DOT_COM]

Thanks Brendan! Really appreciate the kind words 🙏. Move videos coming next week. Hope you like them too 😊

[@biscuitgaming9582]

Awesome. Pretty similar system with us here in Malaysia Borneo. We have high canopy usually up to 50-80 meter. Ground release system is a must. Also we use srt climbing system BUT added another backup rope for your backup device. (goblin, asap or Taz.) Once on top we change to double rope MRS. Keeping the access line available for rescue or descend later on. We do commercial work Btw. Thanks.

[@REECOIL_DOT_COM]

That’s so cool to hear! Yeah we used to do the same in Australia’s Eucalyptus Regnans (50-80m +) when we were climbing for measuring and protection purposes. But we didn’t use a backup asap. That’s a great idea though. Would love to climb rainforest species like you. Do you have any videos of you in the rainforest climbing?

[@jacelandadventures1523]

great video thanks for sharing! I'm working with a few tree guys I'm sure they would love this video!

[@REECOIL_DOT_COM]

Thanks bro! 🙏 We’ve got a new video dropping next week too 😉🤙

[@mike-yp1uk]

Great video

[@4notwithouthope]

That is awesome. I never knew that such a climbing technique existed with a rope. Really can make cutting a tree down a lot easier. ( safely done ) Thanks

[@REECOIL_DOT_COM]

SRT climbing has definitely changed the Arborist industry for the better. Climb safe bro 😊🤙

[@Akujelppi]

Excellent video, thanks😊

[@davisplude1855]

This was very informative thankyou you earned my subscription.

[@REECOIL_DOT_COM]

Thanks Davis! 😊🤙 We’ve got more content being edited now. Hopefully just as informative and (fingers crossed) dropping in a week or two. Cheers, Dan

[@andychapman9687]

Thanks for the clear video. Could you now show a video of the best way of moving through the tree canopy with SRT and whether a base or top anchor would be best- thanks

[@REECOIL_DOT_COM]

Thanks Andy! That’s a great idea! We’ve already got next weeks videos recorded and ready to post. And they’re on fundamental friction hitches. We can add your request to the list. The cameraman (Luen) currently has his leg in a moon boot. So might have to wait for that to come off 😊

[@treeoflife7611]

Thanks a lot for every explanations ! Jo 🌳

[@REECOIL_DOT_COM]

Glad you liked it. Here’s our next video in case it’s of interest kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYqYfntniJyai9E

[@habiullah8362]

Please give a clear video on how the legs are locked with the rope while climbing

[@coreynasfell1095]

Well done Sir!

[@phynes6]

Best video out there. Could you list the kit used in this video. 1 question Srt rope eye or no eye

[@REECOIL_DOT_COM]

Thanks bro 🙏🤙 I do like an eye in my SRT line, so I can switch to DdRT (in a tidy setup) if ever needed, and I do like them for installing the rope. Personal preference though.

[@lucfournier8222]

just subscribed!

[@REECOIL_DOT_COM]

Thanks Luc! More videos coming next week. Hope you enjoy 😊🤙

[@osmanwang6989]

Awsome ..

[@christopherwaller3115]

That was cool! I kept thinking about how I'm gonna try my own version of this with the limited gear I have. Thanks for ideas

[@REECOIL_DOT_COM]

Happy to be of help mate! We’re actually dropping a video on different friction hitches next week, which may be of help too 😊🤙

[@urbanabseiler3351]

There is drag when you ascend, because the Taz manufacturer instructions state it's for rope no larger than 11mm. Obviously it was designed primarily as an industrial Rope Access device and has bee poached by arborists. Fingers crossed they can iron out this with the Lov 4.

[@user-ld3nu7ys5j]

Подписался! Очень позитивно! От Промышленного альпиниста привет из России! SRT и нам иногда помогает.

[@Mike_B_724]

What length hitch cord are you using on your rope wrench. I'm new to climbing and am looking at putting together a RW setup, but I'm not sure what length hitch cord to get to ensure it fits within the whole thing.

[@okabear1]

Do you SRT to the first anchor point and revert back to MRT to work your way up the canopy or is there a way o to stay SRT? Only thing I can think of is running bowlines.

[@sammybray796]

More work than it's worth.

[@REECOIL_DOT_COM]

The SRT devices or the rescue base anchor? As with anything, it’s a case of right tool for the job/situation.

[@ricomolden]

New to this as a hobby and soaking in all this pro knowledge! I have two audio video suggestions: Try planting the wireless mic on the helmet. That will still be close enough to pick up the voice clearly and not give you all the problems with rustling in the t-shirt. Also, ditch the autofocus for talking to camera in same place shots, the focus pulsing is distracting.

[@REECOIL_DOT_COM]

Thanks for the advice Rico. Yea we're slowly getting better with the videos. Still got a lot to learn though... Hope it was helpful for you though 😊🤙

[@ricomolden]

@@REECOIL_DOT_COM Your videos are WAY cool and keep getting better and better and the info is gold! Like everything, it's learning from and improving on our shortcomings that makes us better. I think you'll like the results from planting the mic on the helmet. My full-time / freelance work is video filming and editing. I think I'm drawn to climbing as a new hobby because similar to video I like the combination of how technical and creative it is and all the cool gear involved! Cheers!

[@arbersky4074]

What kind of work rope wheel do you use to work Taz Lov in this video?

[@REECOIL_DOT_COM]

Hey bro! I'm not sure what you mean by "work rope wheel". Is there another word for it? Happy to help 😊🤙

[@arbersky4074]

Good morning, I'm glad you wrote back :) I am writing from a translator, so maybe it does not translate exactly .. I wanted to ask about the blue rope that works with Taz Lov, what is the model and parameters? I also wanted to ask if Taz Lov will be able to work on the Yale Blaze rope, this is the model you use for the base position ... Could you check if she works smoothly in it or with resistance? Greetings from Poland:)

[@REECOIL_DOT_COM]

@@arbersky4074 No worries bro! 😊 The blue rope is Donaghys Cougar Blue. It's 11.7mm and the Taz Lov3 works, but with a bit of resistance. Yale Blaze is only 11mm and fits really nicely in the Taz Lov3 (Taz is rated from 9.5mm-11mm) I just tried it this morning and it runs smoothly. Greeting from Australia Bro 😊🤙

[@arbersky4074]

Thank you very much for your answer.🙂 Good luck to you.👍 Roman Arbersky

[@75MalcolmX]

How does he have Mick Jaggers voice?

[@REECOIL_DOT_COM]

Haha!! Not heard that before 🤣 Its because he grew up in north London

[@peterperigrino5269]

Damn that there was priceless............he sounds just like Mick.......hahahaha hahahaha..............wow......haha hahahaha

[@lucasjackson8573]

I am waiting to learn how to climb like this for tree work. Is there a recommendation way to go about learning. I am in Texas and wonder if there is a class or certificate for being able to learn all this. Appreciate the help.

[@REECOIL_DOT_COM]

Hey bro! Sure thing. So if you want to become an Arborist, the best place to start is looking up the ISA (International Society of Arboriculture) and finding what courses they offer (in Australia we have the Certificate 3 in Arb to start with). Enrol in that, and also find a reputable Arborist company that are will to take you on as an apprentice Arborist. Possibly ISA certified Arborist company. Hope that helps bro 😊🤙

[@REECOIL_DOT_COM]

Here’s the ISA link 😊 www.isa-arbor.com

[@peterperigrino5269]

Holy smokes ....how did he get up in the tree.....hahahaha hahahaha........damn........

[@sethkeith6698]

"Simple as thar" agreed.. but only after a 2500 dollsr investment intk all the ascenders. Which btw is fucking awesome it looks cool if you havent used it but after youve used rhat setup youre esctatic like....😊😊😊lmao

[@REECOIL_DOT_COM]

Us tree climbers seem to collect spare gear… 😅

[@cacanghoihoi3005]

diesen Video ist gut für Englisch lernen ,,, 97% Englisch sprechen,,, Körperlich Bewegung 3%

[@REECOIL_DOT_COM]

We’re glad you like it. Hopefully the captions help out.

[@NoShotItsGengar]

If you SRT a removal you aren't an efficient climber. Nobody wants to pay 3 or 4 groundsmen to watch some ego hungry climber toss a throw ball for 25 minutes

[@REECOIL_DOT_COM]

IMHO it’s a case of right tool for the job. Some big removals will warrant SRT, and some removals don’t. Eg. a straight pole with a good drop zone, that you can run up with spurs and that’s the most efficient option. This video is obviously not removal specific. Especially as it’s rigged with a base anchor.

[@NoShotItsGengar]

@@REECOIL_DOT_COM I agree it's warranted on any trimming especially a tree with healthy thick branches to rely on. I'm just saying as a business owner, a lot of production climbers waste your money showing off gadgets and techniques that hinder production. Not a knock on the video at all.

[@NoShotItsGengar]

Never spike a tree that isn't being removed and as a climber who doesn't or may not have aerial rescue certified people on the ground I can see why this video is extremely informative and useful to watch

[@Lem-Tamme]

You don't have teaching experience so that no one can learn from you . You have to learn methods of instruction (moi)

[@turnoffski]

Sounds like Mick Jagger... On Stellar Street. Funny how quick the setup is in video... But in the real world take for fricking ever... More vids!

[@REECOIL_DOT_COM]

More vids coming up 😊🤙
