Practice Two Points of Attachment with Flip Line

okay you can pick up a truck with this inspect the ropes make sure these double knots are nice and tight no tears are freezing the ropes when you flip this around remember all this is inspected you're making sure everything's working yeah it snaps back clip it onto the d-ring now you should always have two points of attachment while you're in the tree at all times everybody's got to start somewhere everybody's got to start somewhere right and the most important thing is if you are going to start you make sure you do it safe okay what is this thing keith what is this rope called is this the secondary light this here is the buck strap and say just to be safe just have them both connected at the same time at the same length so the reason that there's two of these is when you're going up in a tree and you get to a crotch one stays connected and then the second one goes over the crotch and at no point are you to ever be unbucked in the trees saying oh i can do this no you're always bucked in at all times means and you're always looking and making sure and double checking that everything is always fully connected we've got your saddle on now you got to go through the ropes what do you do before you start throwing ropes up in trees and what what do these ropes mean actually maybe we should start with that keith so this right here is your lifeline and this is your work line for roping and rigging and the difference is this one holds your body and this is for climbing up and down the tree this one is for lowering branches safely to the ground okay you should never switch the ropes out your lifeline is always your lifeline until it becomes frayed or
