How out of date am i....

Until you open up the catalogue. Then everything looks good and you think it would look even better in your kit bag.

 

And you could even get a new kit bag while you're at it!

I worked with a lad who had so many shiny bits on his harness we clipped a tea strainer on it and he took a couple of weeks to notice haha he was very good though but I'm the same as butler I've tried different things but not got on with them. I wouldn't put anyone down for using kit everyone enjoys different kit I use agrillion now that's about as flash as I get but the more my elbows hurt I reckon may need to make more of an effort with regards to kit

i climb the same way as I did whenI as 17 now 42.

Prusic knot 3 strand marlow rope eye slice in one end and butt splice in the other, which i buy at the local chandlers.Use old rope to make chainsaw strops.

Sit harness

Generally free climb to to top of tree, rope in and get on with the tree work !!!

Its not the climbing that earns the money, is the cutting !!

spent years stripping not needed gear off students....

exhaustion is the killer

Haha I hear you mate I'm basic and I reckon everyone should get used to basics but quite recently I've worked alongside a lad with all the bits and he's been fast but other times he's still flinging the throw bag about and I'm on the second tree haha it levels out though good climbers are good whatever they use
