Tension back tie anchors

In this video we look at a simple, standard method for tension back tying suspect anchors.

Thank you very much for this. Its always refreshing to see different approaches. Cheers from Chile

Great video. this works really well for arborists climbing leaning spars and using ziplines with high angles.

Great video. First time I’ve ever seen the Frost variation… gonna try that!

[@ccken91]

I really like your explanation.... Simple

Half hitches for the win Bill. A case of keep it simple. ;) Quick and efficient.

A trick: watch series on Flixzone. I've been using it for watching lots of of movies lately.

[@bentleeremy2070]

@Jase Jesse Yea, been using Flixzone} for years myself :)

[@musamarcellus6930]

@Jase Jesse yup, I have been using Flixzone} for months myself :D

SAR in Spain: Servicio Aereo de Rescate (Air Rescue Service). The hat element adapted to the helmet to avoid the sun is a very good idea. What is the name? Did you do it, or did you buy it like that? Thanks.

[@safetyaccessrescue7136]

We sell these helmet shades here in Australia as a CMC dealer (cmcpro.com). You could order one direct online from CMC. Yes, they are a very good idea... ;)

@@safetyaccessrescue7136 Thank you very much for your reply. I do not know if you know, but if you put a wire inside all around, you can mold and hold its shape. Greetings and good luck in her work.

Why not interlock all 3 wraps of blue anchor? Why do some rigging manuals specify “interlock only one wrap” or “no more than 1 wrap”? Also, I’ve never seen anyone do their water knot using a bight for one tail. Easier to untie, for sure, but is that common in your area?

[@safetyaccessrescue7136]

Hi Jeff. I guess re the interlock, yes you could do all three for sure. The 'third' segment thats tight around the anchor (in this case the tree) is a bit of a pain in the ass to try and thread the second segment of webbing under, so we just interlock the two that will ultimately be clipped as the anchor point. We are always trying to present ideas that can be replicated under duress (i.e. its raining & 3am), hence going under the two 'pulled' loops. The way I tied the overhand on the bight in the webbing & then threaded the other end through is not about making it easier to untie (its easy anyway). It's called a 'Frost variation' doing it this way & it shortens the webbing down by creating a false end. Those blue segments are 5m, so if I wrapped that tree which is about 200mm in diameter and simply joined both ends of the blue web, then 'pulled' my w3p2, the anchor connection point would be way out from the tree. Using the Frost variation I can always get a really close in, snug connection no matter how long the webbing section is. If we have miles of working space then it not a big deal. We will cover off the Frost variation in another video pretty soon.
