This is my first video so please be gentle. LOL........... Just a video of me in the saddle doing a short climb and rapple

 
That's a pretty neat looking one-stick you got there. Get yourself some Stealth Strips and a cam cleat and it'd be really cool...

After you remove your stick, instead of standing and leaning back away from the tree to undo your second wrap around your 8, try swinging down into the tree and squeeze it with your legs. That way you can take some of the weight off your rappel rope, that helps unsnapping the second wrap quite a bit...

That's a good idea. I didn't even think about hugging the tree to take off some pressure. You like that stick? It's a modified Rivers Edge 3 step stick. All I did was cut the middle step out then weld it back together.
