Bowline Redi

[DrewB]

I havent tried this in a tree but it seemed to work in the garden,is it dodg? and is the bowline ok to work in that direction?

What are you using there drew , the back end of your climbing system ?

 

Only problem I can see is a numpty clipping into the wrong part of the bowline.

 

That tree in your back yard is probably the most famous demo tree around

Looking good Bro. Would you have to be quite careful with where you put your knot? You dont want to run out of rope going out on a limb, but you still need enough tail to retrieve it? Or am I being a bit slow......again?

[DrewB]

yeah youd definetly have to plan how much rope your going to need-just like jonnos redi's when he uses the unicender single line. im not sure how well it would tbh, i was just playin about.

redirect that you can retrieve without returning to it or removing your anchor point.

why not just use a cambion saver ?

[DrewB]

you cant install the cambium saver mid line. you could if you used carabiners instead of rings but it works its way round the limb if its not wrapped around. and also a tether (tail of rope) is still needed to retrieve it. Just thought of th one above as it doesnt need hardly any gear-less stuff to carry and so less stuff to get jammed. but like i said before, i havent properly tried this one.

Hey dean,

tail of rope to retrieve it and bowline is tied midline leaving as much rope as you need to work and tail to retrieve.any idea is only as good as the numpty using it:biggrin:

That tree is a photo whore...............
