Figure 8 Static Redirect for Arborists & Tree Climbers!

This redirect is simple and easy to preform for an SRS system. It requires only a Figure 8, a piece of hardware typically used for rappelling or abseiling and a climbing rope!

Yes, I shake a lot. I have a Vitamin B deficiency I'm working to resolve. Thanks so much for not commenting on my shaky hands. Also, please do not comment on my breathing. I am out of shape and really would appreciate if you just comment on the video and not my physical performance. Thank you so very much! ~Knotorious

The hitch guy on a Roperunner? Say it isn't so! Just kidding, great video, I like the editing between 2 cameras. Keep it up!

Good stuff! I appreciate your videos. Can you explain a little what you mean by equalizing the line? Thanks!

I like it. It's simple and efficient and it works. Oh for all the nay sayers, look closely, i think, i could be wrong, but i think i saw one of his hitches.... not sure but we might have to call that one hitch, tested.

I'm not sure this is a good idea. I doubt that manufacturers of figure 8's would recommend this use. And I reckon cyclical loading and unloading could cause the redirect to come undone.
