F##@ me....i give up :cursing:

Please be careful

 

Sorry i hadnt read all the replys when I replyed.

 

Ill invest in 25m of new proper arborist rope if thats whats required as a minimum.

 

I used to reguarly climb free style when i was younger. I know the dangours involved so been strapped in is enough for me to feel safe

Can't be many 90+' oak trees dotted about. Impressive that you managed to hit one...

 

Thing is, you're asking for climbing advice on a forum populated majorly by climbers. We're not exactly gonna say "yeah that 2nd hand dynamic line will be fine, we just buy the expensive stuff 'cos we're flash".

 

You won't be able to buy an appropriate climbing kit for less than the drone is worth, so you're options are take Steve's advice, or stop flying into trees.

I as others have said would strongly advice against you doing this yourself. However if you are not going to get a professional to do it for you, I would advice you don't do it on the cheep. I would take a tree climbing course cs38(or whatever they call it now). And spend a few hundred quid on proper kit. I've been climbing several years and a 90ft tree is not going to be a straight forward climb. The problem is if you are climbing by yourself and get stuck up a tree your going to have to call a local tree surgeon anyway.

Yer i apperciate that hence why i asked. A properly spec'd rope it is. Unfortunately paying somone else wouldnt work out if i cant get it back the same day because rain would kill alot of the electronics. I think i can put a basic but safe, possibly slightly uncomfortable climbing kit together for £120. Not flying into trees isnt an option :D
