Great video! Only thing I would add, is making sure not to grip the rope with your thumbs. You held the rope without your thumbs wrapped on the rope in the video, but I can’t remember if you mentioned not to wrap your thumbs. That can get someone in trouble quick too.

spend time practicing your skills on the lower 10-20’ of the tree, learn to trust your gear and try to gaff out on the lower part of the tree to see what that feels like.

@@j1gly-pq576 Best advice ever. I am a new climber myself and doing this is helping me a lot. A lot of times you are afraid you are going to slip and get hurt, but if you are properly tied in its nearly impossible to. You can try to gaff out on purpose or slip on purpose and as long as your ropes are properly setup, you might fall a few inches tops and then it catches. Also learning the ins and outs of the gear, inspecting it, and learning all of the load capacities eases the mind. Most of this gear is so over rated that its not even funny.

falling is no big deal, it's just that sudden stop....

I'd mount that with a top strap as well to stop it from flopping around. That why i prefer the Stein R.C lowering bollards. They have a mounting eye on the top and the bottom, 👍💪🪓🌲🇮🇪

Constructive criticism, no disrespect; lose the background noise. The subject & your narration of it is great! The addition of distracting, monotonous & annoying music ruined the vid for me. I just want to hear what you're saying, don't need the radio playing while im learning.

I bought a Notch stainless steel portawrap and it grabs my ropes like a vice grip every time. No run whatsoever no matter what. 1/2" coated double braid rope, rigging ring, half wrap, trained ground guys, big tops, stopped dead every time. I would recommend nobody to buy this item and if you've bought it then DO NOT trust your life to it if you need a piece to run. Buckingham is worth the money in this regard

There are ways to wrap that thing that will cause that behavior, also the coated double braids tend to be much grabbier than the softer fluffier ropes. But it’s more about how it’s wrapped. I would put money that it was being wrapped wrong

@@Stridertrees I hope thats the case. From what I could tell in the tree it was always wrapped in the proper direction. I'll have to run some tests with it outside of work.

how do you decide how many wraps around the port-a-wrap you need?

The bigger the piece the more wrap's. That's a general rule of thumb, there are other variables to be considered as well.

I know it will change with the rope/aerial device, but is there a rough guideline for how many pounds one wrap will handle?
@Stridertrees
2 жыл бұрын
It could be anywhere from barely 200 lbs to 1000 depending on the friction involved and what the goal is. I will rarely ever take more than 2 wraps. If I need that much friction I should be using a different device like the GRCS
