Ryan, tie your hitch as close and tight (within reason) to the top of the HH as you can for minimum 'sit back' before you weight it. The brief view we have of it at the beginning of your video, there is way too much distance between the top of the HH and the first wrap of your hitch before...

It was Richard Mumford iirc, its called the 'Wrist Rocket' a small ascender (the same one he uses for the SAKA) with a wide webbing wrist strap closed with velcro. I have one and its useful, but I want to replace the webbing/velcro wrist strap with broad, strong elastic so I can rapidly pull my...

@Burnham, the picture I posted a few pages back is my original direct from Paul HH with a holster on it, you long answer, yes. @Kaveman, Bermuda is British, and my parents are too, so I am by birth. Dad used to say 'faffing' Mind you Bermuda has been self governing for over 400 years, we balk...

Don't hesitate with the Holster for an HH. I faffed around for years with cord, got a Holster last year, bees knees like Stephen says. Tree folk here are fab. I have a collection of items that have been sent to me over the years, and A few bit of mine have gone to new homes as well. Its what we...

All good! Don't forget how small I am :) The only difference I do from your second video is I have a second rope available and it would get tied on the end of my line. With the wraps on the trunk, the knots can be undone, the extra rope added and then the whole lot walked around until the...

I double wrap the trunk, two half hitches and a thumb knot, a la Graeme McMahon

PS to the pictures of my HH. The number of wraps and crossovers will vary depending on your hitch cord type and your weight. 4 wraps 1 crossover on 10mm beeline is my present sweet spot. Edit, And your climb line

The ability to change between SRT and DRT very easily with the HH is why I chose it as my first SRT device. I used to carry a Petzl grab that I'd put a revolver biner in to make a 3.1, but when I got the technique/rope/hitch tuned in I realized i didn't need it. I have an ORIGINAL original HH...

Hey, we are here to help!

Isn't that basically what I said a few posts ago? If I were you mate, start climbing with your doubled rope / Hitch climber pulley system. Get comfortable and familiar with climbing and moving around a tree and descending. While doing this, read much more about SRT, watch YouTube videos and...

I did a huge spreading ash yesterday on SRT (HH setup) I commented when we got home that it was WAY easier doing it SRT than it would have been DdRT. I had some long limbwalks as well, out and down the drooping branches. I used my Petzl basic (from my homemade knee ascender system) and a...
