    HitchHiker2 tending, sitback, configurations?

    Sorry to keep quoting this same post of yours, Chris, but I just wanted to say "Thank you" for this review of my suggested setup. Most folks act like I'm out of my mind to want to have all that stuff underneath the Hitch Hiker, and rarely if ever does anyone actually try it out to see how well...

    Hey, Chris, you're welcome for the response. I think Richard is called yoyoman on this forum. Here's a link to his profile page. https://www.masterblasterhome.com/member.php?3978-yoyoman Regarding your home-made APTA, I think you should be aware that the PVC pipe you've used may be...

    HitchHiker2 tending, sitback, configurations?

    I neglected to respond to this post earlier. In my short video, I may have still had a small piece of cordage on my biner for tending the Hitch Hiker, but I don't think it was being used. In the video, when I wanted to fling my whole system around the small tree trunk, I got held up for a...

    Hey, Chris! Apologies for not responding to this question sooner. I think I've posted my method for tying my hitch before on this forum, but I'll be darned if I can find it. It might be in the Rope Wrench thread. Trying to find it in order to avoid rewriting was the reason for the delay...

    HitchHiker2 tending, sitback, configurations?

    This was subtle and I almost missed it. I think DMc (Dave) is referring here to my suggestion of attaching a bungee to my Gibbs ascender. I understand what he's getting at here, because I once tried to substitute a stronger piece of bungee cord for my really thin, wimpy bungee that was wearing...

    Hey, soup! In answer to your question of "Where do I connect my knee ascender bungee?", the answer for me is that I run a Gibbs type of ascender above everything else, and I hang a biner off of it, which holds a 4 foot long endless loop sling to my harness, but is also the place I hang my knee...

    Another thing I forgot to mention is that by putting the Hitch Hiker biner into the bottom hole of the triple attachment pulley, and another biner into the top hole, that top biner becomes my tending point for the system. The middle hole gets used for the biner going to my rope bridge's ring...

    Here's a link to a cheap tool I used to sew mine together. Slow going, but really strong. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000HGIJQ4/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474992726&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=speedy+stitcher&dpPl=1&dpID=31FfX50DotL&ref=plSrch They don't show it in the photo, but the...

    Hey, Chris. This is the link to my video, which as you've said, you may have seen it already. https://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=aBQWMYkQ3ck I see what you're saying about reversing the orientation of the Hitch Hiker. When I started shooting the video, the Hitch Hiker was in its correct...

    HitchHiker2 tending, sitback, configurations?

    Hey, Chris! I just wanted to make a quick post to let you know someone has seen your question and is pondering it. I have a similar setup to the one you're using, and I did end up finding a solution that worked for me. I posted some photos on this forum a long time ago that I think showed the...
