small things

[old dude]

Anyone out here nuts like me for the small tools that make tree-work stuff soooo much easier? I was thinking yesterday about some of my favorites. The pikaroon is great for picking up and turning logs without risking straining the back. The extendable rope retriever by Stein is (in my opinion) indispencable for ease and safety/efficentcy in setting ropes while up in a tree. The port-a-wrap is trully a 'must have'---gets rid of lugging all that rope around while circling a tree for the proper resistance. Also those climbing gloves with the super-grip---no more rough hands and blisters at days end.

Any other suggestions for tools cheap and functionally useful?

A mini krab to attach a throw bag to the eye of your rope. For if you need a bit more distance on the throw....

i should imagine standard builders rubber palmed gloves - really grippy, but last a day if climbing for more than 4 hours. only 50p-£1, though.

I think he means these bad babies

 

Towa ActivGrip Work Gloves (C01) - £3.99 - Work Gloves - Arborist Equipment & Forestry Kit - Stafford West Midlands

 

They have thin versions for climbing (Black hands) and thick ones that last 5-6 months (Blue hands).

 

They are a revelation.
