hello,i do landscape gardening maintence etc and do alot of tree work but more in the line of hedge trimming,removel of hedges,also takeing conifers etc down or reduceing them,i have just aqired a harness, has even though i dont climb that high i think its a good option to wear a harness,rather than work of a ladder,thing i cant figure out is whats that thing i need to hold me to the tree,it connects to the harness and then like goes round the stump?so i can lean back on my harness?any information will be apreciated!

you dont realise what you have done by starting this thread so i would broaden your shoulders, count to 10 and dont take the hump by some of the replies you will recieve:001_rolleyes:

 

It will all be for your interest and safety:thumbup1:

Flip line?

As stephen says nothing is personal on here and constructive critisms

 

Why not book yourself on a course for climbing called cs38/39 you will then understand what bits of kit are about, also it will teach you HOW to climb. I personally would say from this thread that you dont have alot of climbing experience and so booking on a course should be the right thing to do for your own saftey.

 

good luck and welcome to the site.

I believe some of the more old skool climbers in America call it a "Sissy Strap". Well, the ones that are still alive with working spines do anyway.
