If you have no experience climbing trees you shouldnt be going up 90 odd foot to get your quadchopper thingy,do youself a favour,get a local tree surgeon to get it for you then learn to fly your toy better to avoid trees.

In not being a dick here but a 90 foot climb and a novice climber who has no idea of the inherant dangers involved,sounds too me like a recipe for disaster.

Yeah good advice.

here's some rope - probably wouldnt break if its not nicked (partially severed) seller just covering themselves

Retired Indoor Climbing Rope 10.5mm | eBay

 

this is an 8mm prussik loop

MARLOW VIPER PRUSSIK LOOP 50-60-70CM - heat resistant | eBay

you could just use a short length of the rope as a non adjustable lanyard for when you reach a branch to change over and throw your main rope (with carabiner on end) above to the next branch.

 

death or glory

You only get one life so why not just get someone who knows what they're doing to fetch it out. Sounds a bit like your heading for an upset. £50 a rescue isn't so bad,may also help to motivate you not to spank in so often😀

Are you really advising a non experienced tree climber to go up a 90 foot tree using a retired partially severed rope...ffs!!!!

You need your head examined pal,so does he if he takes your advice.

Death or glory?...it would seem death is the likely outcome

Why not offer a local tree surgeon your services. He gets your drone, you meet him on site one day for a couple hours and shoot some raw footage for him. Everyones happy.

it doesn't say the rope is partially severed in the listing it only says retired, i just meant to run it through his hands end to end to check its not nicked, sorry should have spelled that out.

 

Before i did any courses i went up 70 80 foot oaks in the woods -

i did spend a few quid more on gear than he is intending and also read Jeff Jepsons tree climbers companion - to the original poster - get this book its only 12 quid. Seriously dont ever try up a dead tree, and if you can afford to invest in a 13mm arborist rope e.g 25m Yale XTC plus all the better

Ok sound. Im glad i asked. I know nothink about climbing trees safely apart from free style climbing in the park when i was a kid. My mates will most lightly be there but i wouldn't trust them to have any helpfull input. Ive watched youtube vids of one line with a prussik frction knock and a 2nd safty line which is what i was planning to use.

 

Im from the birmingham area. Quad is in b75 area

 

Id be gratfull is anyone could link me to a rope which would be safe enough for 10-20 climbs 😬👍🏻👍🏻
