cool vid bro, hopefully abit of helpful knowledge and something to think over..... i wont tip tie anything unless i got a winch pretty much. i think its just dodgy and you can get hit very easily by the piece of wood. i use steel bineer 65kn and done some very big pieces with it. if its getting big i just wrap it round the wood twice, so the friction round the wood takes the weight. i think/know rope on rope snaps with heat and friction. Slings are good but usually static and meant for straight pulls not dynamic loading. and when you choke it, haves the strength too. where as the rope is/should be more dynamic, and when tightening round the stem works like a shock absorber. this is just the way i think and my theory, which to me makes sense. kinda the same about using Knots ay, if a bowline can take upto 50% of the rope strength and a splice 90%. surely it break the rope at the knot before the bineer? so less knot and bends the better no? if the logs are huge then and big butty shackle is better. but i still think bineer would be ok, i snatched a 800kg log, with 3 wraps back on to bineer in Oz and was fine. i have only seen 1 or 2 old bent bineers and thats when they have been loaded on the nose. and i think a lower kn rating. some feedback/thoughts would be cool too? everyone different like you say, i got a fair bit experience and when you actually sit down and think about it all makes sense in theory...... and in my case so far touch wood, has worked fine. Mog

be interesting to see if its got the same preciseness as a hitch. i think tiny movements or big leaps and stopping gradually might be hard. and probs more down to the gloves on the rope to similar to spiderjack. I had a little go on one at the swiss comp and worked pretty nicely, self tended well but not quite as good as a spiderjack. i think the key is finding the perfect rope to match it, would be very important. and properly worth knowing, as maybe you have to buy a new rope to go with it. otherwise maybe be a waste kinda like spiderjack on anything bigger than 12mm. Just a thought tho.... Mog

yeah i Kevin B put one up. i think its under climbing in Kentucky or sommat along thos lines.

Cheers Fellas, yeah i like it with that music even better, The Soundtrack is by 'The Funky Lowlifes" track 'another Place' Cheers Mog

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoF0KhPDq-M&list=UUBku0_sRLFK6WfLAdLHu2WQ&index=1&feature=plcp]Climbing and dreaming - YouTube[/ame] thought this was worth remaking as, the other is in poor quality. so i thought i would share it here too. cheers MOG

ah yeah sorry i miss read your other post. there is a way you can do two locking brummels but not with something in the end of the second brummel. thanks for clearing it up tho. 3.25ish ton log now that is precise , what diameter cord was it and what type? cheers

hey top climber, how you go about doing the second Locking brummel tho? i cant seemed to work it out. seen a vid on it but that without something on the splice e.g the pinto, ring etc. cheers Mog

richy kenyon is up there and started his own business.

proper good laugh the other day, didnt do anything in the morning but wander round and video and take pic and then put chains on the other tree in after noon. This is proper Swiss styles, like the music.... Cheers Mog

i take my hat off to you Derrik, that was a very nice and smooth climb. Well done, very impressed. Niceone Kevin thanks for sharing ashame your vids didnt work but was awesome to finally see someone use it smoothly and well. Cheers Mog

Fishermans all day long, better and safer mog

Yup thats the Go then Kevin

Yeah great little knot that one. if you made the Loop long enough to go with you, then it would be 100% safe. stick a bineer in and back to yourself. But you would need x3 the rope. Nice little post and Video keivn Mog

that defo doesn't look safe to me, looks like the end of the rope needs to be locked off? or am i missing something here? mog

hehehe reckon you can blame the Spiderjack man for that one:001_tt2:

haha loved Sam Copper work climb, so fast and smooth now i ready understand how good it can be. i am converted! SRT all the way! keep them quality Vid's coming. so we can all see how good it is. come on guys, camera decent tree, and climb. simple........ now i am really looking forward to the next one:) be hard to beat that tho;p mog

yeah bro, i am in the same boat but the thing is people saying its smoother and faster??? hmmm. i think i set up that traverse you are talking about in Auckland Domain many years ago on DRT. there was me, drew and johno i think if my memory is right. anyways i dont think that shows it as cool as it is. So still waiting...... haha joe getting proper into it, hope your well dude and looking after my brother. mog

cool vid, hammocks are the way. stay up big fagus other week, and there is nothing quite like it. ay, cool to see other people doing it. mog

have to say i agree with Joe on this one, and still waiting for a smooth and fast SRT climb. its not exactly hard to put up a good video now a days is it??? come on Bristow you been climbing SRT now for ages, shows us how smooth it can be. up and down limb walk etc etc. Be great to see one. MOG

AP all day long timmy, you got enough rope anyway mate.

this one i made up out of a metal bar and a kong hand ascender. i still use a footlocking strop and my hands holding on too the rope. but after a while i just went back to normal footlocking as its quicker.

mean vid, wicked trees to climb thoses and the views are something else. for big ascents the rocket all the way. mog

Yup i bought a pair and bought one for my mate. i love them very very light and sweet for footlocking in the wet bit slippery but any shoe is i suppose. fit my feet great but my mate didnt like them, so guess its personal preference. only one way to find out and there pretty cheap think i got mine for near the $100 mark tho, bit looking around. mog
