I'm interested in learning this for large tree access.Can anyone recommend a basic,easy kit to start with?Been looking at the petzel stuff but am guessing it will be expensive.Would a ascender,pantin,strop and access line do for starting?Don't know anyone that does it so will be self teaching.I'm not interested in climbing around in srt just for access to start with.The cheaper the option the better. Any help advice would be great thanks paul

Hey mate to start out try the bigger company's like Treescape or Asplundh they are always looking for guys,have all the kit etc..try trademe.co.nz jobs section and i think there's some guys advertising on Arbjobs. Good luck,have fun.
-
I think it's good to keep a bit of fear up there,because without it you become cocky or to confident and that's when things happen!Nice and steady!
-
Tryed Arbjobs? Over 100 jobs on there.

I see no problem,have done it for years,never cut my legs and never plan to,as long as you have them on they should provide sufficient protection from a glance of a saw! My 2 cents.

Think i sponsored at least half of that jump with all the redbull i drink!
-
If you want work ring company's! in your area,hardly anyone in Scotland advertisers on here.
-
Why ditch the prussic?plenty of people who still climb on them and can climb as good as any,think while still learning its good to keep it basic!
-
Depends where the photo is from? Not meant to use a climbing saw on the ground in Britian,i haven't seen many people that don't it's a pretty dumb rule as most other country's it's fine!

Dismantled a beech yesterday in the rain was sodden and mossy had a bit of fun when my vt decided not to grab after i had put up a pulley for rigging,i dropped about 10-15ft before i had it under control,fortunatly i remove all pegs as i go up so fell mid air.First time in nearly 10 years this has happened to me,think there were a few factors in play wet being one of them,decided to put a extra wrap on after that!
-
Dam all your guys lanyards are nice clean in shiny!Does anyone climb in the rain?My thing is minging at the moment,have time to give it a quick brush off before the next tree and that's about it!
-
Think its either one or the other,Why are you not confident descending on either alone?
-
Fark you must be a stick man i would snap most of that **** your walking on.!
-
I just use any bit of rope similar size to a steel flip line, vt with micro pulley.Nice and simple, cheap and only use it for cutting time in tree.

^This is good!
-
had a couple of treemotions and have now got a petzel sequoia and would buy the petzel again as its alot cheaper and i think just as good a job .

Im about 6 climbs into my steins and am happy apart from lower straps which have worn very easy and fast on the sharp edges of where they wrap around shank,very badly designed angles,have put heaps of lec tape around area to soften edges,leg upper leg straps are good enough.

Working for the council for 3 years(worst decision ever)leaving the council to sub(best decision). Council is a institution and i found unless you can sit back do fark all and go with the flow then it's a dead end.People's spirits and dreams die in those places!
