I remember watching a video with Ken Palmer and Rip Tompkins about 20 years ago. It was amazingly cheesy. Great he's still about. 

 

That flipline looks cool

Still got the moustache too!

More seriously, interesting that they market this for spiking on poles and say it can be used as a cambium saver as an aside.

Basically the same as a multisaver which is sold as a cambium saver but can also be used on poles as an aside.

reinventing the wheel and selling it back as something new?

It is something new. A flipline with improvement to help catch  if you gaff out, already assembled. Occaisional users like me always gaff out. Maybe not needed by someone who can spike a pole blindfold. Must be easier spiking with than a multi-saver

I may buy just a Teufelberger loop and ring, plus another ring and a maillon to try to modify my flipline like that - a poor mans version. The Buckingham system looks as good as having a choked main line for grabbing the tree in the event of a fall.

This guy seems to have got the hang of it

[tree-fancier123]

Yeah gaff out there on a traditional flipline on side ds would be a bit of a slide. Good spiking and nice traverse too, skillz

You could make one of those with a short flipline and a ring prussik.

I like the way he puts his mainline through it though.

Not a bad idea that...
