I took the gloves off 5' off the ground. I was getting annoyed with getting them caught

Yeah it can be annoying indeed!

My legs and arms have stopped working, and my abs are killing. Greatest respect to those who have been climbing for years

That draws a close to week three. And I'm shattered. We covered climbing, secondary anchors, branch walks and throwbags and rescues. We also liked at some different climbing systems which was interesting

After a while you will find ways to do it easier,and it won't hurt.

when I get under my truck to do stuff I find my neck and other muscles hurt 'cos I rarely use them.

Ps enjoying the thread, I did a similar course nearly 20 years ago.

I think my wallet will hurt long after my arms recover. Just made a list of everything I need. 😢

I have no problem spending as its what I want to do.

Just shocked when I looked at my list of less than 40 items it was a four digit total. That's not including chipper, stump grinder, trailer and arb truck (heart set on landy 😃)

Don't be fooled into thinking you need all that Shiny stuff to start with.

Don't run before you can walk, IMHO you need to work for other people for a year minimum before you can even think about starting your own thing.

Like I say just my opinion.
