videos just no good enough

Guess I am going to have to haul my arrse up a pondo,camcorder in tow and do it my self? evey one I have seen is not imformative.No video or pics of the rigging or set up and certainly no video viewbale of the mechanics. Jerry has a video would he venture to post it her or on WTS? hmmm maybe for a fee?
 
Its not a video, but a picture of the setup I tried in Australia at QLD Arborcamp.
Going up -Krab on the ring of the bridge - grigri - right hand ascender with a pulley to help tail the grigri - foot loop off the ascender. There is also a sling from the ascender to a krab on the bridge, I think that was a safety backup.
Coming down, take off the hand ascender and foot loop and rappell down on the grigri.

Went 120' up a eucalyptus, got to the top and the guy up there said,
'let me undo the rope and set it a bit higher...'
I said, 'what...the ONE rope I am attached to?'
He said, 'yeah, no worries'
I said 'not for YOU buddy but what about me?'
I was way outside my comfort zone, but hey, it was a lot of fun once I relaxed and trusted the gear. It was very sphincterish being up that high with just a lanyard around a branch while a guy unties your SRT and resets it then that's what you have to rappell down on...I asked him if he could tie knots real well...turns out he was like the TOP climbing instructor in Queensland, a bit embarassing, but hey, means he knew how to tie that knot!

The foot attachment is that red strap of the bottom of the ascender. It is adjustable and has a loop in the bottom for your foot. The other foot just dangles in the air or you can put it on top of the other one, or have another foot strap....
