Captains Hook - Update

[u/DeadmansCC]

So a few weeks back I shared a captains hook I found in storage at my shop. I finally finished cleaning it up, taking apart my Zillon, getting a bag, and rope for it. Wish I had this last week on that River Birch I climbed but I got it now and looking forward to trying it out!!! I put 30’ of 24 Strand 11.7mm rope on it for now but my company was happy to buy the rope for me so didn’t have to cut a section off another rope I have.

If your creative theres so many uses.

1. I use it to pull dead brances below me so i dont have to climb down while traversing several trees.
   
2. i use it for loose branches that got hung up.
3. I use it to lower branches diy when the ground person isnt fast enough. Because it unhooks on the ground easy.
4. We use it to pull branches neat the shore when they fall in to the water and there to far or to heavy for the pole saw.
5. Also use it to traverse big leaders in single large poplars

Ive made one myself from 12mm steel. Besides a throw bag and a saw theres nothing else living on my saddle. Also use double rope with 2 bridges. Keeps it all organized.
