    I think the op is talking about equipment and fear, so trees arn't the only answer. Push your limits in a safety zone, when you then climb it will be easier.

    As a kid thats ok, But if you go to a Go-Ape centre, you get free training on how the kit works, have a load of safety in place, use pulleys and via-ferreta stuff to understand what you can/can't do.

    go on one of those go-ape courses, and use the hardest course. some are very high and tricky, gives you confidence in the kit, balance and problem solving. next would some high abseils - again an adrenaline rush and kit understanding. Then climb a tree, with the right kit! it will feel like a kids playground:lol:

    i have done a few, horse boxes a standard trailers. cheapest option is scaffold planks. a good trick is use hardwood planks, spaced on the frame then ply on top.

    Yes, I have and used it on my lanyard too. To be honest, its not perfect but works. The best trick, is a setup using a DMM revolver.

    it's a right lump, and it would float need a couple of reddies for it, and it would need a hi-ab to shift in one piece.

    going back to tree surgeon/climber argument. I started training and thinking as 'an arborist' - but now just want to do dismantles so 'a climber' label suits me fine:lol: I am happy to dismantle as i've spent 20 odd yrs doing demolition.
