Thank goodness for people like you who are willing to share your knowledge with us, thanks Patrick.

After checking everyone's videos , yours is the best You show everything about setting the cabrian saver and then the rope and how it is remotely set up and taken down from ground level . This was always a mystery to me , so thank you for having the insight to show us !

I just did my first climb ever using by following your example! Thanks for the quality instruction!

20+ year arborist here. Well done sir! Excellent emphasis on safety. Nice idea with putting a hole on the end of the line to attach your throw line to your climbing line! I’ll be mimicking that. I usually will tie a Marl knot followed by a few half hitches to pull through, but I often have trouble with the tip of the rope getting bent over and blocking my pull through. Cheers, mate! Have fun and stay safe!

I'm so pleased to see you back and to hear your clear voice! You are one of the very few Youtube people who I actually get excited about. I anxiously await your excellent quality content. Thank you!

Excellent class. Your thorough explanations are the best I have viewed on this topic. I have been interested in tree climbing because there are twelve climbable trees on my small lot. I usually do most of my own maintenance but if it is up in a tree I have to pay many times my own hourly rate to hire an experienced tree technician. I do not mind being partially helpless, and now, with your answering so many of my questions about climbing I may not need to be totally helpless when it comes to caring for my trees. Thanks Pat.

As always greatly explained and it’s definitely getting other people interested also well am back in China and I showed 24 students the video you made as one of them asked me what’s your hobby and me clueless said tree camping/climbing lol trying being my operative word well anyway showed the students the video and many are very intrigued and now want to do it so now got to clear it with school but they may allocate some money for this as an activity so your inspiration is letting my students try new things once again brilliant keep doing them 😊

I use this method every time i climb. Lose the foot loop and it's alot less to worry about. You can climb a couple feet at a time depending upon your arm strength. Take hand ascender and pully off then repell down with the grigri. Also i tie to the base of the tree and toss my rope through a crotch and climb the tale up. Very easy climbing system! I love it! Great video!

Nice to see these techniques being used for fun. Worked for a company that did utility line clearance tree trimming . That used these same techniques plus a few different ones as well. Climb on!

I've been thinking about getting into climbing and your video explained a lot really well and in good detail... Thanks!!!!

[boschcraft]

Thanks Patrick to show me how great tree climbing can be, after your videos I started with tree climbing and I can't stop anymore :). Great videos. Thank you.

Great demo video. Thank you! I use virtually the same system for solo-climbing the 45' mast of my sailboat. I use a pair of footloops so I can push up with both legs, and they are set longer so I can fully straighten my (short little) legs in each cycle. I use an adjustable-length safety lanyard the whole way up and down (a fall from a mast to the deck below is not pretty to think about). I unhook my ascender and leave it attached to the footloop (which remains clipped to a belt loop) so I don't have to handle it untethered - when tools drop while up a sailboat mast, there's usually a splash sound. I pull a closed bag of tools up on a light line when I'm at my work position and I let them down to the deck again before descending (yup - they are all tethered to the bag or my wrist with light line - to avoid the splash sound) Cheers!

Perfect explanations, clear, uttermost didactic. Missed a calling of entertainer.
