The main thing is just getting your gear set up so you get a smooth descent and the ability to stop and lock off. You're on the ground very quickly just from hunting heights
I'm super excited about this. When you say stop and lock off, could you elaborate?The main thing is just getting your gear set up so you get a smooth descent and the ability to stop and lock off. You're on the ground very quickly just from hunting heights

I have to say, I've been guilty of purposely staying in the tree a bit longer, just so that when my hunting buddies come by, I can rappel downRappelling is so incredible. I feel very safe doing it. I feel very cool doing it. I'm down on the ground in like 15 seconds. Pulling your rappel rope down out of the tree, and neatly wrapping it up is the worst part.

What do you want to know? The main difference is you are rappelling down a tree and you might be in the darkWhere does a guy find video on how to do this in a hunting scenario?! I dont find anything on youtube!
Well everything i guess i know nothing about rapelling but the tree spikes and rapel down sounds great to me! Just mainly wondering about the gear and the how to!What do you want to know? The main difference is you are rappelling down a tree and you might be in the dark
Some guys canopy anchor and some guys like to basal anchor. Base anchor requires a longer rope.I have a related question: When you rappel down, is it required to anchor your rope above a branch to secure it?

Great tip!
Here you go. Keeps rope nice and tidy, quick, and works great for throw line too - just use thumb and pinky instead of neck and palm.
This was genius. I didn't believe it till I tried it with the throw line
It's funny, you never stop learning. I've climbed trees for a lot of years both professionally and recreationally and have never seen that method. I like it. Although you might look a little weird in a customer yard wrapping rope around your head......
