Riding Through the Trees: A Journey into Nature on a Motorcycle.
A Journey into Nature on a Motorcycle: Pureora & Rangitikei.
I head on an adventure ride into Pureora forest to check out trees saved from logging. Head down the Turakina Valley identifying trees on the way, then head back via another back road and get held up by a huge flock of sheep.

Nice job ,by the way ,did you leave the rope up there after the first day and come back another just climb up on it ? thx
Yes I did leave the climbing rope up. The site was in a safe secure place. I wouldn't do that in a public place. Thanks for your comment.
@@totaratree99 thanks mate. Learn a lot from your videos. Keep it up & climb safe.
@@user-pk3lp2qb7b Thanks heaps :)
Trees and adv motorcycling - great combo!
Thanks for watching. Cheers.
Nice video sir
Thanks for saying.
Looks like that would have been a fun ride. That flock of sheep near the end is huge!
Yes thanks. Too many to count.
great video and explanation. lucky that block didn't come back and smack you! thanks for posting
Yes if had been a smaller stem the block may have been close. Thanks 👍.
Thank the tree :)
Yes. Always thankful for the tree :)
@@totaratree99 It was at the end, you were thanking everyone, so I just wanted to show my appreciation for the unsung hero. Nice tutorial. It's a lot to grasp because you make it look easy. Confidence and trust so far with gear are just as hard as the physical mechanics. I thought it was really nice to see you with a Prusik and hitch climber and doing this professionally without any gadgetry, that's kinda where I'm at in my gear investment so now I don't feel like I need fancy stuff, just way more practice. I wish I started sooner. Take care.
@@ravenshield7823 Thanks mate. Yes you can climb well without all the gadgets. Keep practicing that is the main thing. Cheers for your comments.
The pulley saver looks very useful.
I think so too! Very versatile.
Nice simple descriptions thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice job.
Thanks.
Great video! Where can I get one of those shirts?
Thanks. You have to volunteer or compete at a NZARB tree climbing comp. Different shirts for each year. I have a bit of a collection 😆.
I see I have a long way to go. Thank you so much!
@@1530786 Anyone can volunteer at a local competition. Thanks for your comments.
If you had to choose only one carabiner which one would it be?
Oh very difficult question. For the safest I would go for the ball lock, but they don't have an oval shaped one so I'd have to get some of the dmm ones too.
how do you advance this system up in the canopy?
You need a second system for example a lanyard. I think this is explained in my video Basic Tree Climbing 01. Thanks for your questions. Happy if you have others. Cheers 👍
where do I attach this system to my harness from on the rope?
Either tie the bowline directly to your front harness attachment point or use a carabiner to attach.
Hi sir, the carmantel is dynamic or statis?
Hi. The double braid rope is semi-dynamic. It is called "bluemoon". An arborist rope. different characteristics from a rock climbing rope.
Interesting job
Yes. It was a while ago but a big job for the students.
by all means it is great to see your video about climbing!
Yes, thank you
Lovely video. Love the idea of the comparison of zigzag and other options. I feel that comparison videos from you would be highly educational and compelling. Looking forward to future content. Keep it up. 🫡
Thank you very much! See what I can do:)
I asked for this video at the start of level 3, godspeed brothers
I concur William, comparison videos showing the different possible applications would be extremely educational.
You know it's a good day/night when totaratree99 uploads
Thanks for that. Appreciate it.
i like your videos,very helpful for me as a new climber.
Glad you like them! Thanks for your comment, i appreciate it.
Wait what's the difference between manuka/Kanuka and totara trees? (Really good video by the way)
Biggest difference is that totara is a conifer so has little cones. Manuka and kanuka have flowers. Thanks for asking.
Amazing video
Glad you think so!
My class used your videos for identification of native trees so yeah amazing video might go give the rest a watch too ;)
Glad to hear they are useful. What are you studying? Cheers@@tristan8864
Good demo and explanation thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Good to have an explaination of the differences between the pulley and the block. So many mix the terms.
Thanks so much :)
Good coverage of an interesting project. Great experience for the crew.
Many thanks!
Huge fan mate, enjoying the frequency of the uploads. Sending meows from india 🍤
Thanks for that big D. stay safe.
Another safe and productive day from the Wintec students, 🌳 great video Andy. 👍
Thanks 👍
Great work and teaching thank you
Glad it was helpful! Thanks.
i didnt know you could descend with just a prusik . rock climbers would be too scared haha
Yep sure can. Need to check it after each climb though.
Big wood. I’ve done the same over the summer. Then I was in a position where I was rigging big wood again. So I opted to use the double whip tackle method. I have the video on my channel.
Sounds good. I'll have a look. Cheers 👍
THe honest analysis is really useful & as you say we can all learn from it. Very professional treatment, thank you. As they say, It was a good day, everyone walked away from the job!
Thanks for your encouragement. Cheers.
Very interesting! thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
What size rope were you using there? And where did the rope break?
Good questions thanks. The rope was 20mm (3/4 inch) and it broke at the half hitch. Maybe if we had a 25mm we would have been OK.
Your self-evaluation at the end of the video was great. Thanks for revealing your thoughts. Smaller piece, second rope or adding a second block are all great suggestions. I'm intrigued with the idea of the second block. It would only work if the block were attached to the piece with something larger than 20mm. That's the one piece of rope that would still have the full force on it.
Thanks. Yes the second rope and block was just a thought. Two blocks with two separate ropes. To work well both ropes would have to receive load at the same moment otherwise one would only be a backup to the other, which might have saved it. Might try this one day but the risk is the ropes twisting and then snagging.
Well done Andy, thats how we all learn....through reflection and assessment 👌👌
Thanks 👍
Doing a debrief like this shows great professionalism. Well done
Thanks. Appreciate your comment.
"Cue the rock music!"
LOL!
Nice demo, but maybe take the gopro next time.
Noted!
Thank you for your teaching
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching.
Do you bump into many possums? Do they make themselves scarce or are they aggressive?
Sometimes see the pests. They are not usually aggressive but run away.
Llegue mirando un video suyo de un nudo prusik , y me sorprendí al verlo en esta competencia , como leí , una leyenda viviente , eres un ejemplo a seguir para todos los que estamos empezando el tema de la poda y caminar sobre las ramas , mis respetos totaratree99 , y bendiciones , saludos desde chile 🫵🏻😎🇨🇱
Thanks heaps. Best regards to you too.
Thankyou, an actual demonstration thats real life. Very much appreciated, thanks for the high quality video as well. Stay safe fam!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks 👍
I've started using the Scott's Locked version of a single bowline for lead climbing. It's secure and easy to untie, and not prone to the slight risk of failure that plagues the Yosemite finish.
Thanks for that. Stay safe. Cheers 👍
Who knew it was the most common NZ native?
Yes. Not widely known.
Hola,estoy por empezar a escalar arboles,que opinas de la cuerda beal?saludos
Hi. The beal ropes are good. Make sure it is designed for tree climbing. The rock climbing rope are not so good for trees. Have fun, be safe.
@@totaratree99 muchas gracias! Por la información,compre una beal ginkgo 12mm,es una cuerda tipo A cumple con la norma EN 1891,se puede usar tranquilamente para trepar arboles? Saludos
No he usado el gingko pero tiene muy buena pinta. Consulte la etiqueta, sospecho que cumple con las certificaciones de la UE. Salud
Hope the translation makes sense. :)
@@totaratree99 no puedo traducir tu respuesta,que marcas de cuerdas me recomendarias mas petzl o edelrid? Son las que ahi disponibles en mi pais ademas de beal que es la mas accesible por su valor
They should say the biggest fig tree in New Zealand not the world.
Actually the biggest of this species. So yes good point. Is this the biggest Morton bay fig in the world?...is not so catchy a title.
I have seen larger in Africa.
Yes.
Explained with clarity and detail. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
a cool video
Thanks :)
By golly... a true master of the craft. Frequent uploads would be a great addition to the channel !! Good work - From india
Thanks mate. Working on a couple of new vids currently. Cheers :)
Big fig, would be a cool gig to rig fig branches out, would be a pig if they got stuck mid jig although
Very poetic. Nice one!
Cool tree! I measured it last month. Height- 24m Spread- 55m
Hey that's cool. Still growing.
