Pushing The Limits of Releasable Systems

[wido]

Dude went from breaking a couple carabiners to best store in the US while still breaking those carabiners, and ropes, and slings, and blocking what a ride

You should've shown that wetsuit backpack in more detail, I watched that part 20 times trying to figure it out and still have no idea 😂 Looks cool!

[PotooBurd]

I haven’t watched the video yet, my hypothesis is that it will break in the knot 😂

I like a rappel that will gently lower me to the ground like an escalator.

[WalkerRacing]

Thanks for being the best YouTube channel and store in climbing right now!

[PuReWiReZ]

As a person who loves the videos but has no climbing experience, I really appreciated the useability of the rigging in situ before the testing.

You should get a infrared thermometer just to see how hot those ropes are

I had my hair caught up in my friction knot once. Once.

[Zogg]

I was shown the last one you tested, as a veriable friction belay abseil device, with a traditional round figure 8, but you'd clip into your harness with the carabina (which means the direction of pull should be the top of the if it isn't, turn gravity back on QWICK!!!). So the idea is that you lift the small eye (or "handle") up, towards your top anchour and you have maximum friction, you pull that handle (small eye) down to reduce friction. Just remember that pushing your "handle" up, for max friction, doesn't mean that you can let go of 😅. If you do want to let go, push the handle up, then tie it off properly because you only want to die once at a very old age surrounded by your family!!!

If the figure 8 doesn’t make sold contact with the ring, the figure 8 block fails catastrophically. This is very likely the cause of a recent fatality in Moab. It’s been known to result in fatality before as well. If the ring is not free hanging, the figure 8 may not make flush solid contact with the ring.

Yes! I love CE4Y ropes, but I hate that all the names rhyme, it gets very confusing. Thanks for carrying it now and showing the tests on it.

I like that Brent is testing his Rapid Eight block. I prefer the Euro Eight Block and love it as the three daisy chain loops add better security while still being quick release. It's taking a while to fully catch on but I expect it will be the standard eight block in swift water canyoning in no time.

You’re in Issaquah. It always fun to find out a YouTube channel is local.

[cmonkey]

Unfortunately I’m not familiar with the characteristics of those canyon ropes. I’m assuming they’re “dry” ropes. But testing where they slip when the whole system is wet would be the test test, considering the conditions it’ll be used in

[goody]

Can you check out the Double Dragon knott please on its use and breaking strength and if what you would use it for please!

[SynthHofmann]

I've been using this setup for the last year or two for tree climbing as srs moving anchor system in a texas tug configuration. Stoked you're testing it.

[charlimargar]

Would be interesting repeating the test with different 8 and with Korda’s ropes, the most popular canyoning rope brand.

[ced]

last night I fall asleep watching one of those video and I dreamed you tested the core and the sheath separately.. Do we know what's the breaking point of sheath alone?

[kingstonXT]

I'm used the Quick line and the Sick line but i think the sick line is most quick than the Quick line

[waynemyers]

Isn't that just a Euro 8 block ("daisy chain") without the extra two macrame bights?

[DanNacht]

Love the canyoneering videos, and the behind the scenes! Honestly wish you guys had stock to buy into cause the store is only gonna continue to grow ;)
