Please make sure you understand and then practise tying these systems, test load them, and practise low and slow.

Ice learned so much from these videos, they're great. I'm a groundsman but soon to acquire my climbing licenses and these have been a great headstart. Thank you.

I love base ties almost always use them except on a removal so much easier to hit your primary tie in point from the ground instead of isolating limbs
-
Super helpful. I just ordered gear to make a base-anchor like you showed, with ability to lower the climber.

I like the port-a-wrap the best. I have just started srt this year (after 22 years of climbing) and have used canopy ties. I like being able to switch back and forth between srt and mrt. I also haven't had a job where I was willing to commit to a crotch from the ground. I could see the advantages of it though. Had a hell of a time pulling my canopy anchor out last week as I had come down through the tree, leaving the working end over a couple of branches.

Great video thanks for posting

Great video, as always, just what I was looking for. I've been doing basically this with the figure 8 but I've been using a wire core lanyard around the tree and I think I want to do something a little different. A little concerned about all the hook snaps. Probably just paranoia. I have some brand new climbing rings to use. I'm a novice with tons of gear and not enough experience. Thanks!

Thanks great video!

Dan great video.

Very important: If you do decide to make the lowering base anchor, you need to have enough rope on the behind the descending system to lower the person! He didn’t make a point of it in the video but it is probably the most important detail if you do decide to use that kind of anchor, it could be deadly if you ran out of rope X_X

Good Video. Thank You!

Interesting. Coming from a climbing/SAR-rope rescue background it’s interesting to note the difference between the two systems. The main thing I see is the loads. You need only support the climber whereas we need to support the rescuer and his/her equipment, the stretcher/basket, and the patient. Consequently our anchors and belay systems are much more robust and are dual rope systems. Nice insights, thanks.

Yeah bro thanks for teaching 🤙🏼

Would you consider showing that running bowline again, but slowly, for beginners?

Hi I'm looking to do a course in Arboriculture. Its a 4 years course tho. I've learned a lot of teqniques from you and Bino H. My question is for the basal anchor, I thought you have to tighten a rope like a ratchet strap? Do you ever use big D shackle for anchors? Any reply appreciated cheers from Australia just subbed.nice work 🙂👍👍👍.

Thanks!

Saya ingin bertanya bagaimana caranya agar mengurangi resiko friksi pada tali..??
-
Something that wasn't mentioned is that yes, the anchor will hold twice your weight with a base anchor, HOWEVER it maximizes the compressional force on the wood itself. As you pass through several redirects, the strength of the entire tree acts as a reinforcement.

Nice.. tnx for the info.. i do rafel ..run down for mountain climbming
-
Thanks

I wish the camera shots would stay still on the rope instead of moving around so much. I would like to learn the first two that you’re demonstrating there with the camera keeps moving so much.
