I get why you traversed to the second tree instead of going to the ground, good on ya. I dont get why you didnt just set up a retreivable system off the second tree? Were you doubting the strength of the wood or just using both trees because it was easiest? I think I would have done two separate systems but thats just me. def cool.

Good video that v rig looks comfortable. I can see it being handy in certain situations, good video 👊

What a great video, very informative. I'd rather spend 20 minutes climbing over then 15 minutes climbing up, just because it's so cool

took me less time to traverse than to do it the other way,,,,

I love the v rig, it's like having a floating anchor point. As in, it gives an anchor point where there isn't one. It also acts like having two systems, but they work and tend together. A wonderful application. Although I wouldn't have used it there. I'd have used a second system, either another hitchclimber system through my thimblesaver, which would choke off nicely. Or stationary rope. I usually have my captain on a separate stationary rope set up anyway, so I'd have just made it across, and made a canopy tie to retrieve from the ground. Could also use the thimblesaver for that too, but that would involve a load of pulling rope through. I'd be less concerned about pulling those steel thimbles out of the tree than letting a pinto hit the deck from up there. Like you said, there's a million different ways to skin a cat ! So each to their own, respect.

I like your approach, looked like fun as well. I love my retrievable anchors and redirects. It's all just so much fun. Best job in the world. Can't wait until I no longer need to march through 4' of snow to do it😁

You made the right choice, once I get gravity on my side, I like to keep it that way.
