  1. Throw line slicktricks. http://treetools.co.nz/LiteratureRetrieve.aspx?ID=137109
  2. How difficult is it to get dyneema line down once caught in the tree.
  3. 10 or 12 oz bags. 2in1 cheap throw line spliced together. Wrapped around fingers anchor bend with a slip I'm accurate upto 20 meters (most days) Big shot nice to have. I carry two bags , cheap mesh cube and a falteimer. when choosing a anchor point make sure its 100 % safe (try).
  4. 2 in 1 Throw line splice,the cheap stuff.
  5. Pole prunners for twigs,anything thicker i'll use the pole saw with jap blade.
  6. This is what i use. . Put an end to rope mess during pole felling. Compared to double rope systems with redundant rope dangling down to the foot of the trunk, the Belay- Descent-Kit offers a great alternative: Consisting of 30 m dynamic rope (9,8 mm), a CINCH and two 3-way autolock carabiners all packed in one small silverbull Hip-Bag it offers an easy back up descent to the ground. The rope is anchored in choke mode on the trunk while the majority of its length remains in the bag. It can't be damaged by spurs, doesn't touch the ground and therefor stays out of the way of the rigging work. Perfect solution to a problem that hopefully occurs!
