Cheers guys, we had big plans to shoot some really cool baobab srt stuff but we got hit with the worse weather sa has had for a very long time. Bad weather as in cows were neck deep in water kinda rain.... Hopefully the vid explains a few things, 'twas all done on the fly tbh.

nice work drew and dak. surprised you didnt put the ring anchor in!

[Steve Bullman]

brilliant, thanks for posting....Like Ben i've had a few questions that this has mostly answered

[Rich Rule]

Nice tips there. I usually use the running bowline but have the other stuff kicking about so might try some variations

One thing we forgot to mention was that the pinto technique doesn't really work of you have stitched eyes on your rope. 9/10 they will not go through the pinto on retrieval and you'll be stuck- well not stuck but you'll have to climb back up to retrieve some other way... Just a heads up.

How about spliced eyes?
