[@tommiewilliams8536]

Great video man! Best limb walking video I’ve seen for sure

[@TPOTTS_TREES]

@@tommiewilliams8536 really appreciate that thanks a lot

[@VastkustSvamp]

Yea tottally agree! Keep it up

[@TPOTTS_TREES]

@@VastkustSvamp thank you 😀

[@jacobzjm]

As unexperienced climber I like watching this topic.Thank you!

[@TPOTTS_TREES]

No problem. Happy to help in any way

[@StihlClimbing]

Thanks for this. Probably the best video demonstration of limb walking I've seen. I know it's not as easy as you make it look! Perhaps I should start to practice my handstand on the ground 😱

[@TPOTTS_TREES]

@@StihlClimbing lol, thanks for that dude. Nice to hear.

[@SteveMcQueen-bx4hu]

Just what I've been searching for! Thank you, Sir! Safe climbing, and great day to ya!

[@TPOTTS_TREES]

@@SteveMcQueen-bx4hu thanks a lot. Glad this video can help someone

[@stevensmith3069]

Great content great stuff mate love the Douglas fir trees you climbed recreational and all the hints and tips people always learn through other people 👍🏻

[@TPOTTS_TREES]

@@stevensmith3069 I'll deffo do another tallest tree video. I even have an idea to camp overnight up one 😉

[@josephwong1697]

Thanks for your details explanation.

[@TPOTTS_TREES]

Glad it was helpful

[@henkes1985]

Brilliant, thank you, time to practice now

[@TPOTTS_TREES]

@@henkes1985 get out there :) If you have the basics it's great to do and practice outside of work. If your learning it's better to go with someone else

[@thecartatree]

Thats a sweet tree you're in. Good video.

[@TPOTTS_TREES]

@@thecartatree I know, such a great tree. It's looking a little worse for wear but it recently survived the recent storms.

[@falkrybak3654]

thank you for this video - very useful tips

As usual, great video mate, well done :)

Tree is incredible you got over there

[@TPOTTS_TREES]

@@Sethhaun78 I love this old sycamore

[@Sethhaun78]

Great video man...like twin set up

[@Talesofafreelanceclimber]

Nice video :) good explanations.. The only thing I would say is that the way you pulled yourself back up from the SRT limb walk was quite hard. The advantage of SRT is also the ease of walking up the rope. The view can be deceiving, but on that limb walk I would have let myself off the branch (controlled) so I would hang under the redirect. And then just walk the rope up to the redirect. When pulling yourself back from an SRT limb walk you can also install a quick mechanical advantage, but with the rope runner that is a no go...

[@TPOTTS_TREES]

@@Talesofafreelanceclimberthanks dude. Yeah, I would have put my ascenders on too and just rope walked up but I thought that might be cheating for the video lol

[@Talesofafreelanceclimber]

@ on the contrary! That is SRT climbing and using its advantages :)

[@thegreenrevival4424]

Excellent video. Appreciate the effort to make this. Very helpful for all. Why the clove hitch on your redirect? Just curious like I've never seen that. I'm quite new to SRT and would have just clipped the biner onto the line? Is that ok still?

[@TPOTTS_TREES]

@@thegreenrevival4424 yes that would be fine. So just clipping it though is fine but different. Clipping it straight through will load the main anchor more than the second redirect which sometimes can be good. When just clipping it through it pulls the two anchors together which can be bad at times. Doing a clove hitch on the carabiner usually loads the anchors more equally and when on the line you don't bounce up and down as it's fixed to the redirect.

[@thegreenrevival4424]

You see this is exactly why I love using KZbin as a resource for enhancing my climbing. You're a good man and have helped me a lot here. That's new to me and makes perfect sense. Thank you

[@Aaron-zf7ev]

Have you got any advice on first time rigging?

[@TPOTTS_TREES]

@@Aaron-zf7ev I'll think about how to make a video on this. What would you think would be. Useful to know more about

[@briancrossley1710]

Apart from the insurance aspect you're not convincing me that the two anchor point system is better. The time and effort spent faffing with two ropes just adds to stress, fatigue and time on the job, all contrary to H&S guidance for any task. It would be interesting to see H&S stats for numbers of fall accidents since the two point system became mandatory. If a climber needs to be rescued does the rescuer also have to have two anchor points? Logic would say yes as loads on the system are then at their very highest with two climbers on a rope/anchor point. I haven't seen this aspect covered anywhere.

[@TPOTTS_TREES]

@@briancrossley1710 rescue you don't need to follow the rules. Someone just today has been put into a coma from 1 rope working. I may have been avoided with 2. Food for thought. I'm not preaching as I also struggle with it and agree it's not faster and inefficient

[@Sethhaun78]

Seems 2 is to much..like a long 25ft lanyard is best or 50ft 9mm in ditty pouch weaver

[@TPOTTS_TREES]

@@Sethhaun78 some people do that and like it
