Working with redirects in tree care

[tuberider]

Nice stuff Mark - such clear instructions and superb footage. Given the effort, in return, for ease of reference I've captured the salient points and time stamped it

1:00 Option 1: Pass both lines passed thru a carabiner on a webbing sling. Can use the webbing sling in a either basket or choked configuration depending on the length needed. Downside is friction between the two lines running past each other in different directions

2:00 Option 2: Add a Pinto pulley to run the lower line thru to separate the lines. Downside is the possible pinching of the line depending upon the diameter between the Pinto's cheek plates

2:48 Option 3: Add a Revolver Rig in addition to a Pinto Pulley to separate the lines with even less friction
3:17 System is stored on vault behind handsaw. Consists of Revolver rig, Perfecto, Pinto and Multi-sling
3:47 Set-up of option 3. Note: when installing the Revolver Rig beware of the direction of the gate - to minimise it touching structure when the line is being used
6:47 De-installing and stowing neatly

You know its a good video when you take your tools out and set the system up while following along with the video!
Not sure where you are but here in Texas we say "thanks bro."

U left ur sling in the tree…. GREAT VIDEO!!! I use your pulley set up all the time now!!!

This is the best explanation I've come across. Well done!

[michaelkarner]

Best idea I've seen yet thanks for the direct complete and concise explanation

Really clever setup with the Revolver Rig and the Pinto, I love it.

Thanks Mark. More great innovation and useful tools. Cheers.

Thanks for showing this, well explained and thought out system.

[EricJemAndes]

nice concise explanation with some well thought out techniques. Thanks for sharing.

Great video, man. I was just thinking about how one would redirect on DDRT the other day. I personally climb SRT and redirect with a loop runner/webbing sling and biner all the time. This is great, thanks! Keep up the great work, man. Climb high & stay safe.

Excellent. This video really teach this importante concept.
Congratulaciones for this, is very value for treeworkers.
Thanks. 👍🏻

Isn't a double pulley and sling simpler?

[randomguy-hspx]

Personally in a tree a do like my climbing line offset so i dont really use a redirect. That said i do alot of work on rows of laylandii and willow usually tied into 1 and working 2-3 either side. If you are looking for a cheaper option use a cutaway, beener and a pinto ( pintos have a wider gape so less friction, 11.7 my rope)
This vid definitely helped me out even tho i took a different path

You win the prize as youtubes poshest arborist! Thanks for the great tips 😀

pardon me while I install this $400 redirect...

I've been doing a lot of research on this B4 buying and I got say... I am completely fallen for this harness!!! hopefully, in the following days, I will buy it! Just one wish brother... maybe in the near future... please make that adapter able to trap both bridges together, I definitely feel a lot safer hanging from both bridges at the same time, for now, I'ii see what can use for both rope bridges that have a swivel, I was actually thinking of buying the revolver (like the one you are showing in the video but instead of this one, the revolver that has two pulleys) and see if that works with the dual bridges... but if you ever make one, I'll definitely buy it, for sure!

Slick set up! I've always just ran the pinto alone like you first had, except I use the spacer which can free spin and act as a pulley. Usually run true 1/2" lines for MRS and have yet to get pinched in the cheek. Knock on wood

[theaxeman]

You left your sling with crab up the tree! 🤣🙄😎

[tittyrino]

I’m a recreational climber and I have most of the gear needed however an order sheet is being filled out tonight lol.

What's your multi sling called on your redirect?
