Treehog harness was the most uncomfortable thing I ever put on.

Agreed. One of the guys who works with me likes his Treehog harness. Always said he wasn't wired right!!

Some of you need to spend a day dangling around in a nice skinny mountaineering harness. You don't know you're born.

I've taken my tree harness rock climbing a few times. Hard to go back to something so skinny when you've got used to a tree one.

I know! It's a world apart. I wouldn’t like to carry my tree harness up 1500m of ascent in the Alps though.

 

Might try a day of tree work in my skinny skimo (ski mountaineering) harness one day, see how bruised my hips can get.

One of my first (tree) climbing jobs was pruning some stuff away from those tall nets that stop golf driving range balls swerving onto roads. I used my rock harness; belay loop for main climbing system and a 120cm sling round the back and clove hitched at the hips for side Ds. Not especially comfortable but got the job done. 

 

On rock, I've never been fast and light. Very British mentality. Same with trees. Have loads of tat on my harness, just in case.

Only rock climbers are soft enough to cry about padding. Padding!? Want to try caving harnesses, nothing but a crusty old bit of webbing to em. 1000m+ deep caves in one of those will leave its mark.
