bits-

 

rope stuff

 

plastic spacer things

 

protective sheath (to be cut to size)

 

dildo

 

lube if its the older stuff

 

circular date tag-possibly

 

shrink wrap

 

 

shrink wrap an end of the rope stuff (i cut rope to length in the tree) insert plastic things into rope by opening rope by pushing together, slide over protective sheath which youve cut to size to suit the limb/trunk, wrap round trunk/limb with spacer against limb/trunk, tail needs to be long enough to be inserted about a foot, taken out, a small loop made and inserted again for a bit, and pull end out a few inches

 

insert dildo in middle, use lube if tight

 

offer up other end of rope to and around limb, slide over date tag if applicable, insert plastic thing, then cut to size, repeat as above

 

i find electric tape better than shrink wrap, and inserting as much as possible of spacers/dildos before i go up-easy enough to slide them along if not in right place
