    HitchHiker2 tending, sitback, configurations?

    I couldn't agree with your more Todd. Ordering this stuff on-line is really difficult to try and get exactly what ya need. I have order two different types of snaps. Either the exact measurement are incorrect, not shown at all or both. I ordered this one...

    Thanks Dave, I can't clip the HAAS onto the Torse because the bungee won't stretch that far. But I'm making some head way now! Thanks you to my friend. How this method of tending is not the norm is beyond me. It's fantastic. Thanks very much for passing this method along to me. Now that I...

    HitchHiker2 tending, sitback, configurations?

    Ok...Dave and Tim, Dave's idea is about as good as it gets for a person that already owns a TreeMotion saddle. The tending is so good it's hard to believe the hitch cord is even there. Zero sit-back when the prusik is setting correctly. Pinching the Petzl Fixe (as Dave did) just a little in...

    HitchHiker2 tending, sitback, configurations?

    I see Tim. Oh yeah that did come across in the video. No worries there. Only your method and Dave's method use this tending method on the HH. I'm surprise others have tried it or video documented it. Thanks Time for your reply. I have not. It's hard to keep up with Richard M! He is always...

    HitchHiker2 tending, sitback, configurations?

    Ok. Thanks for the advice. I certainly don't get that now. Inexperience leads to a misconception of what it should do. I starting thinking, "either I really suck at this or this device really sucks...either way - something sucks!" I've read a lot of reviews regarding how the HH performs but...

    HitchHiker2 tending, sitback, configurations?

    Ok well if you have the exact same equipment with the same line...we are about 20 pounds different in weight. I can't image that my options would differ much from your. Well I have the original 8mm Beeline that came with my HH, I have 9.3mm epiCord also have 8mm Ocean Poly and a couple of...

    HitchHiker2 tending, sitback, configurations?

    Ok thanks. All of this info. is going into the list of stuff that works. C Ok. Well my main concern is, is this change in rope size going to change the personality of the HAAS, HH, CT Quick Step foot ascender, the type of hitch cord...yah know that kind of stuff? After everything you already...

    HitchHiker2 tending, sitback, configurations?

    No apologies for the long winded post. I too do the same thing but find it important to be through to get the point across. I will try your method...if it would stop raining! Actually I'm going to do the ol' Alpine Butterfly loop over the beam in the basement and try it now. I ordered the...

    HitchHiker2 tending, sitback, configurations?

    Thanks Bermy, Ok just checking...not trying to be a nitpicker just confirming what works best. I have plenty of spar bits of antennas, radio gear, coax and connectors but since I"m not an arborist and haven't being climbing all that long I don't have lots of extra gear. Ever-time I have an...

    Thanks! Tree Stuff doesn't carry the Torse. That's unexpected. WesSpar does though. Opps..is that a bad word here? Holy crap. Any idea why the Petzl Fixe is half the price of the DMM Pinto?! Sure now the Velox HAAS comes out. Thanks for the great information. I'm working on it now... c

    HitchHiker2 tending, sitback, configurations?

    I noticed that the way most you run your hitch cord on the HH is the way it's stated in the HH manual...but some of you...actually Bermy, you set yours up in reverse. The Youtube videos for the HH are about half one way and half the other. The HH manual indicted to run the hitch cord on the...

    HitchHiker2 tending, sitback, configurations?

    Thanks Tim very much for your compliments and Dave interpretations. I have noticed similar observations. You would think that the bungee pulling down on the tending HH would matter. Well it does...a little as long as you don't have a massive bungee cord on it. It matters less than one would...
  13. soup-n-sandwich

    HitchHiker2 tending, sitback, configurations?

    Yeah I see it. I really like this setup of yours. What is that strap? Is it specially made for this? I can see how this might work even better for the HAAS because it aligns the bungee over our leg rather than having it be centred on your body. I agree...the pulley isn't essential but it's...

    HitchHiker2 tending, sitback, configurations?

    Yeah I didn't realize "Bermy" was a women for a while. But you gave away the secret. lol It's all good. One thing I'm not lacking is a sense of humor. On the HH2 it too came with Beeline but for this HTP 7/16" line it didn't work well at all. The Epicord was better but still not as good as...

    That's pretty damn cool. Hey Scott. Chris here. Thanks for chiming in.

    HitchHiker2 tending, sitback, configurations?

    Hm. So you consider the HH prusik a VT? I guess it's another version of a VT although I've never look at it that way. So the lighter you are the less friction needed, therefore less wraps. So I likely should not be running the normal amount for warps as I'm a bit light than most guys. Maybe...

    HitchHiker2 tending, sitback, configurations?

    Oh MORE than 2-3mm difference. Hm well I certainly could have remembered that state incorrectly. Cool. wow your actually smaller than I am. Now that's a first. Oh my. Your a girl!? Hey that's pretty cool! Oh I'm confused. A VT is the French prusik with the two or three braids is it not...

    HitchHiker2 tending, sitback, configurations?

    Hmm so your using a VT hitch...I haven't tried that. Yeah I did pull it really tight. I have noticed there is a wrong way and a right way to apply the knot...I just haven't figured out which is which. More than once I made the knot so there was almost no slack. It's the way I made the loop...

    HitchHiker2 tending, sitback, configurations?

    Thank you my friend for the info. I have noticed this as well. One thing I'm still struggling with is when I reset the knot to take out the slack after my initial loading my knot slips and I have the same slack I started with. I'll have to work on this. Nobody else is talking about it so I'm...

    HitchHiker2 tending, sitback, configurations?

    Wow Hunnicutt, Thanks. There isn't a lot of things that I feel or believe that other people agree with! Thanks for speaking up. Yeah the Ocean is 8mm which is a bit smaller than the RIT or Beeline most recommended for the HH but enough is enough. I've been bouncing around with this thing for...
