Picked up the OG version a little while ago largely based on your review. Couldn’t be happier. This harness is punching way above its weight class price wise. Fantastic value. Thank you again.

[@Stridertrees]

That's awesome to hear! Glad you're loving it. The upgrade with the enlarged lower D rings is a lifesaver too. Really completes it and makes it top tier.

[@lililililililili8667]

1.0 was on sale for 200$ black Friday

[@kevinhoening4427]

Was fortunate to attend the ISA Competition in Savanah GA. It was super interesting and informative. Not sure if you compete, just it was worth mentioning. Always like your videos!

[@Stridertrees]

Heck yeah, those events are always a blast.

[@CJD44]

Thanks for the video I searched and searched for 2.0 videos. I Purchased one and it shipped today, so waiting for it to arrive. I’ve watched a lot of your videos and have always taken a lot away. Really appreciate that. So THANK YOU! Been climbing for years self taught now getting into it pretty heavy and wanting comfort and lightness. Getting older. Two hurricanes hit us here in Florida. So it’s a flea market of trees! There is tree work almost every 100 yards in any given direction for 50 square miles where I live. Suspenders are next! What would you recommend to a beginner for easy ascending? Foot? Knee? Handle? I always climbed and worked my way down. lol

[@Stridertrees]

Yes! Check out the CT foot ascender and the HAAS knee ascender at TreeStuff using my link if you would. I think that’s the best combo for going up as long as you have an SRT capable friction management device. Check out my video on SRT basics if you want to see some more options there.

[@hcwaffles8912]

Ive never actually tried a treerex, i tried a treeraptor once and really didnt like it, just uncomfortable on the lower back, i really liked the notch catalyst and the sequoia, also like the kinisi and treemotion, the kinisi is definitely more comfortable than the treemotion, and i guess if you're climbing all the time then its worth it, definitely not worth getting as your first harness tho

[@berserkgame5517]

Hi, where did you buy your sweater? If so, what brand is it?

[@Stridertrees]

It’s just a thin long sleeve I wear all year long made by truewerk. They’re a bit pricy for what they are. Lots of similar option available these days.

[@jonbarnhard3681]

If you used a chest harness that had a dorcel attachment and was ansi rated, would that make it acceptable for fall arrest in North America than?

[@Stridertrees]

Would it function correctly… MAYBE, depending on the harness and how it mounts. Would it have an ANSI certification… no, because harnesses are tested and approved as a complete system, so it’s more about what you need. If you need the cert for your employer it won’t work, if you’re just concerned about having something safe, then totally it could be done.

[@jackberdine]

What harness would be your favorite if edelrid wasnt paying you?

[@Stridertrees]

They aren’t paying me :) but they did send me this one. I would have bought it myself anyway I’ve used many of the others(treemotion, monkeybeaver, cougar, sequoia and others) and prefer this one.
