Friction Savers for Tree Climbing Compared - TreeStuff.com

Nice explanations Nick !! Thanks !

Nick
Could you help me develop a safe climb of a date tree about 4-9 meters tall and how to remove spikes and pollination safely
I could send you videos
Also select the equipment I am new to climbing

Yo. I see that arb trek shirt.. when’s the next one? I thought it was dead?

Has anyone else had problems with the grizzly splice going thru some of the different friction savers?

I received my shipment today. Fed-X didn't follow shipment instructions an left 600$ worth of gear at my mail box that had green tape on the box saying YOUR STUFF IS HERE. Good thing I checked the mail and found it before some illiterate saw FREE STUFF IS HERE.😖

I’m pretty sure the pulley saver was not the first friction saver with a pulley, I think that would have to be the rope guide by ART. The rope guide was in production and I think already on Gen 2 when I was climbing and working in Germany. The pulley saver was around but only as prototype amongst Beddis and co. The pulley saver is an amazing friction saver, once you climb on a pulley it’s hard to go back

why use one? they seem like a waste of time for tree work

You from the Burgh? I am in Washington County and just started recreational tree climbing. I got bit by the climbing bug bad!!! My friend told me I can make some good money cutting n cleaning trees out lol however I already work in every aspect of home building from pouring the footers to installing the roof systems and EVERYTHING in between. I am climbing to get away from work lol. Take care

Thanks forl the video Nick.

Just subscribed. Thanks and Godspeed.

Is there a product in the United kingdom (england) like your tube style version. Cant seem to find anything like it for mid line work etc

Good explanation and comparison of friction savers !

Thanks,

Will a climbing rope ( meant for rock climbing) be frayed when moving back and forth over a tree branch?

The pulley saver looks really good.

I'm new to all this, so this question might not make sense somehow... Would vinyl tubing work as a friction saver? In particular I want to throw a rope over the top of my roof to clear off pine needles that collect on the roof, but the rope would rub against the shingles on the ridge of the roof. Would vinyl tubing work just as well to reduce the friction of the rope over the roof ridge?

Omg your videos are the best, thank you

Hey Nick, joe here haven’t seen you in years. Glad to know you’re still making great videos .. for tree people. even though this one’s five years old , I have a question ! what is the difference between the friction savers and the tree squeeze?
