How to set up a DdRT Redirect - a ponytail redirect and a removable & retrievable redirect

In this video, we're going to cover how to set up a ponytail redirect (a.k.a. flag poling) and also a more advanced, technical removable and retrievable redirect using a Wild Country Ropeman.
A ponytail redirect means that you leave the tail of your rope close to the trunk while you use natural redirects to get out to a certain area of the tree and then instead of having to climb back up over those natural redirects then you can use the tail of your rope close to the trunk to lift your system back to you.
Then we're going to go through a little bit of a technical removable and retrievable redirect which should be a bit of fun. So hope you enjoy it!

Cheers bro! This is one of my favourite double rope redirects. Let me know how you go 😊🤙

[@333Paradigm333]

Thanks for the tips👍, and if you didn't know that's a nice Morton Bay Ash that you were climbing.

[@REECOIL_DOT_COM]

Thanks Bro! Do you happen to know the Latin for it? I’m a UK arborist, that them worked in Melbourne for 9 years, but now in N QLD and the species are so different 😆

[@333Paradigm333]

@@REECOIL_DOT_COM No worries. I hear you though, especially when it comes to eucalyptus 700+ species. That particular one is Eucalyptus tessilaris.

[@REECOIL_DOT_COM]

That’s awesome! Thanks bro 😊🤙. Yeah exactly! Then add Corymbia and Angophora to the mix and you’ve an insane amount of species 😆

[@alexmelnua]

Excuse me, in what country is this magnificent Moreton Bay Ash located? An Australian eucalyptus tree, E. tessellaris, having drooping branches and grey bark ... Yes?

Cheers William! 😊🤙

[@migueljose2944]

thanks. I had trouble following you though. Maybe do a demo on the ground with a small tree or bush.

[@REECOIL_DOT_COM]

Thanks for the feedback bro! They are a bit techie to follow. We may have to do an “in the ground” version 😊🤙

[@garyhuang863]

May I ask what name of these equipments are ? In particular that one can be locked. where can I buy all of these?

Nice video.Smooth

[@Mitchbuddha]

Hi mate 😺 Not sure if my last comment worked! But thank you for the video, I can't wait to try these at work :) Solving so many issues for me! Question: could I set up the second technique using a ' CT RollnLock Ascender'?

[@REECOIL_DOT_COM]

Hey bro! I’m stoked you could the techniques helpful. Climb safe and let me know how you go 😊🤙

[@Mitchbuddha]

Will do man!!! Thank you!! Did you happen to see the question I left at the end of my last comment?

[@geothr33]

@@Mitchbuddha I I bet the Rollnlock would work as the are both similar progress capture devices. Would just need to figure out how to attach the shackle for retreval.

[@travisbaseball13]

Amazing!!! Do you have links to the gear you use? I'd really like to get one of those camming devices

[@REECOIL_DOT_COM]

Thanks Bro! 😊🤙 I really should add links to the gear in the description. That's a Wild Country Ropeman camming device.
