Plain and Simple SRT

[@stevegolden9715]

Wow man there is nothing plain or simple about that. I've been doing tree work for over 20yrs and would have had that tree half done by time you got done showing off. Just keep it safe and simple my man!

[@samuelwild4239]

Love this video and the way you convey so much valuable information without even having to say a word! Very talented!

[@mikehand71]

Nice and clear video quality. I wish you would talk and explain what it is you are doing throughout the video! You don't have to talk in great detail explaining every detail of what you're doing, but it would be nice if you would help your viewers (like me) to have some understanding of what you're doing and why. To me it just looks as if you are just moving all around up in the tree and I can't figure out why you're doing that unless you're just doing it for the fun and/or practice of it. And, could you make a video explaining (teaching) the method you used to ascend with your feet?

[@danhenderson783]

I kept waiting for the "simple" part.

[@timlehnen3226]

I rather climb that play with the ropes, zigzag baby with rope wrench

[@larryfoster2227]

😂😂

[@DellGTV]

I give you the extra points for the safe part but need to work on the productivity part. Boom boom boom, trees done and on to the next one. My crew leader would of told me vamanos 10 times putting 2 lanyards and switching to canopy anchor like that.

[@johnpion7694]

Gearheads unite! so many things to drop or lose, check out Buckin Billy ray to see how things get done Old School!!

[@Acollyt]

Very cool. Another vid explaining how to advance your high point while up in the tree would be great. It was difficult for me to decipher what was going on. Also, a short vid on your initial anchor set up with that mini anchor plate and rigging below would be cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@GizmosBushEscapes]

intriguing to watch . wasn't entirely sure exactly what you were demonstrating but still enjoyed watching this.by the way those tree branches must be awfully strong as they looked way too small to support weight.very skillful and easy to see.thanks Andrew

[@EgaoKage]

Great vid! I only saw one minor thing you might want to make a habit of. It's good practice to keep your wrench several inches below the lowest aspect of the apex of your climb-line. In your case; the biner, acting as part of your line-retrieval system.

[@johnsommerfeld6889]

That's a nice walnut tree! Great video :-)

[@SuperFreddio]

try keeping it a little simpler all kinds of snaps and ropes gets complicated and more things can go wrong or forgotten

[@ericsameol364]

I got a few. Looking for a market.

[@AwosAtis]

LOL! Favorite part is watching kid throw sand at you!

[@sebvaughan6149]

Just a quick question can you crossload a mallion for srt anchors any advice would be great for the alpine butterfly thankyou.

[@JustJimJr]

Like a boss, excellent bro

[@ArsonistArborist]

Plain and simple?! That base anchor was pretty extensive and overkill, my man. Not simple at all

[@noglobe4105]

no doubt!!!!!

[@isovoice894]

I am learning how to set up a basal anchor with the function that allows the ground crew to lower an injured climber in an emergency (without teaching them to climb and buying another set of gear). The way shown in this video looks like it would work.. Do you have a suggestion for a better setup?

[@sampickett3843]

This video would have doubled in value wth a voice over to explain what was going on.

[@natoyilively9379]

in addition to the exaggerated hand gestures, yes. i was thinking the same and realized the the hand gestures make it accessible to everyone, not just english speakers.

[@johngiannetti.]

I strongly agree. Andrew, this is a great video and thank you for taking the time to make it. It appears to show numerous basic scenarios, techniques, and options while climbing. I have to say, if you were to speak, voice-over, or even add text , I feel like you could convey so much more information here. I'm sure you have your reasons for this style of video, just something to contemplate. Thanks again for the content!

[@freshpootube]

Arborist and mime artist.

[@maxy2237]

not simple at all

[@Cholton222]

Nice climb dude. Keep'em coming.

[@jrstrange123]

The New technique in climbing is to side load carabiners. Going out to practice this new technique now.

[@TreeCraftbyAndrew]

All the carabiner instruction manuals I've seen warn the user to not side load the device. Why would you assume this is a "new technique"?

[@jrstrange123]

TreeCraft by Andrew you should probably get a manuel that gives instructions on how to recognize sarcasm. Just saying bro! Peace!

[@noglobe4105]

that was all I needed to see..quit watching after that

[@josephllanes8468]

Jonathan Strange Where? Minute mark? Thnx

[@isovoice894]

6:39 canopy anchor on the right side (of the screen) In a course this week a young climber set up like that and the instructor same over and told him to switch it for a ring.

[@robertbettis6552]

Enjoyed video, subscribed!

[@Zack_Darce]

This really seemed like Overkill. Get your throw line up there, pull a friction saver up, run the Rope through it. Then tie a frictionless hitch at the base. Put your hand ascender on, run the climbing end through a grigri and back up through a biner attached to your acender and you have a 2 to 1 that is super easy up and down the tree.. Put a prussik above the grigri for added safety.. Seemed like a lot of fumbling with those lanyards at the top.. Not sure what you were trying to accompish.. Still fun to watch though

[@Bluecollar711]

Always have to go back and start over

[@stephenneeson5194]

Interesting to watch but why the silent bob routine?

[@TreeCraftbyAndrew]

The GoPro I'm using in this video has a really crap mic that doesn't pick up speech too well, also I made this video for a buddy of mine in Utah who said "no descriptions, just show me how SRT works". It also works well for people who are hearing impaired, and people who don't speak English.

[@TexasUrbanHunter]

Brother I got to say if this is plain and simple then I literally have a lot to learn on SRT skills and I don't mean that in a derogatory manner. I have a new channel on survival and use only primitive rope climbing to compliment the survival skills. This has drawn my interest into learning more about basic SRT skills and climbing gear. I sub'd your channel to tag along and hopefully master some SRT skills in the process.

[@JustJimJr]

What type/brand/ shape carabiners are best all around? I have like 10 but can always use more, thanks

[@TreeCraftbyAndrew]

If anyone would like a live stream with chat - hit the like on this comment & I'll get one scheduled 😉

[@Andreyanswer]

Cool boots)))

[@skyrunr]

Nice video! 22:35 Doesn't putting the carabiner on the metal arm cancel out the safety of the prussic? I think I'd sacrifice a little speed for that benefit if the foot ascender slipped or something. What was with the purpose of the double lanyards at 9:04? I got that you were cleaning them up to move around, just not why they were used on the same point.

[@cozmo3778]

Uhm ok I’d say lose the second lanyard and it’ll be a lot more simple lol over all have fun climb safe !!

[@jimpossidente5004]

Bravo!

[@haroldwiththehog]

its okay to side load the redirect carabiner like that?

[@TreeCraftbyAndrew]

Where do you see the carabiner being side loaded?

[@cubankong75]

Man very impressive video thank you for sharing. I have never done any tree work. I’m a lineman by trade use gaff. But I want to incorporate SRT to my hunting setup. How hard will this be for a person that know nothing about SRT to learn to do this don’t plan to get any higher than 20-25 feet. Any and all advice would be gladly appreciate. Thanks for sharing. And stay safe bro

[@borisgolovko7705]

Thanks for video. Where can i buy this set?

[@freshpootube]

How much does all that kit cost? Doesn’t look simple or plain. Like the idea using prusiks at the base.

[@wetlandstewards5670]

I guess this was useful if you already knew how to climb and just wanted to watch a bunch of knots being tied....

[@catbirdfeeder]

My knees are shaking just watching

[@Bluecollar711]

Can you please tell me what exact rope you are running on please?

[@TreeCraftbyAndrew]

I got that climb line a while ago - NewEngland Lava 11.5mm. It's sold by SherrillTree and is now call Teufelberger Lava Surge 11.5. It's a decent climb line that works for both single & double rope climbing.

[@peterb.saloom8667]

What size and style rope do you recommend for the type of climbing you do in this video?

[@dfpguitar]

I'm not that experienced myself yet but I see all the srt people recommending slimmer (like 11mm) lines with 24 or more strands, tightly woven. As opposed to the traditional arborist lines which are half inch, lower strand count and "bumpy".

[@linetrash4298]

How does the rope get up there to begin with

[@TreeCraftbyAndrew]

I use Throwline & weight launched with a bigshot line launcher. I'll try and put out a video demo of this soon. View product info here www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?item=455

[@sneakypetessd6393]

Needs a voice over .............. but sum sweet Climbin

[@grimwoodsg7244]

I see nothing plain and simple here

[@nontology]

gee thanks for literally zero explanation

[@mr.remington]

Hi Andrew! Awesome to watch your demonstration. If you don't mind me asking - which rope you using for your main climb line and which eye to eye type and length? Thanks man.

[@Odinaryman23]

He don't talk good luck getting that answer ha ha

[@erik30012]

where can you get those lanyard protectors/sleeves?

[@TreeCraftbyAndrew]

Hi Erik, The protective sleeve is tubular webbing like the ones used as slings for speedlining, etc. It's usually sold by the foot at Arborist supply stores and, occasionally, REI and it's very cheap. If I remember correctly the webbing I'm using is 2" diameter. Be sure to get the 'tubular'.

[@benjaminsondelski3784]

I was wondering the same thing. For a moment I thought it might be those wooly seatbelt covers. Thanks!

[@Bluecollar711]

OK I have seen it all now I would really appreciate for you to take me under your wing and teach me SRT because I think I have had enough of DRT

[@sionwright3570]

side loaded caribeaner?!!

[@jackberdine]

I think you're overcomplicating that basal anchor quite a bit.

[@Arch1301]

yeah,absolutely simple lol 👍

[@noglobe4105]

Shouldn't cross or side load your biner in your canopy anchor..not a good idea. Make use of rings

[@noahportal6104]

0:43 that tattoo looks like the first letter in the Hebrew alphabetic

[@richardallen7557]

come on man! side loding a karabiner, using only one side of your side D's for life suport. Im not about belitting but this is such bad work practice! srt is the shit for climbing and i wouldnt do it any other way! but this is just a really bad example, and made look really hard! try using a ring as a top tie or a cambium saver with a knot block, it save and easy to retrive

[@Cholton222]

I got the vid, it was simple. .....

[@fishuntbike]

Are you just showing off...I got it but does not help at all as I don't know what the hell you want to teach people here, I just wasted my time

[@TheLoobis]

WELL, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!? DOESN'T LOOK PLAIN AND SIMPLE TO ME! TELLING ME WHAT YOU'RE DOING WOULD HELP!

[@kochlawnservicesgmailcom]

I have all the gear but 20 feet is enough for me,

[@sergeivershinin549]

You use doubling strops for safety, but use a single rope for ascending and descending. It's not logically. It would be reasonable to use additionally second rope and Petzl ASAP LOCK on it.

[@larryfoster2227]

Doesn't look like much of a hunting scenario.

[@lujegelo9986]

not a simple

[@jurgenbenz2223]

Top Job, but why🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@Brunoboy66]

I must say I really love the lack of voice. Americans seen generally get paid for every word they say and makes och instructual video like this a nightmare.

[@elusive7625]

Far from "plain and simple"

[@RicardoGarcia-nz1jb]

How do you get rope to very top to begin with. Do all trees that have rope?
