The swivel snap is for the hitch tender pulley. The 3/8 Tenex is just because its such a useful inexpensive rope.

My reccomendation for his gear Weaver Cougar Saddle 150' of Samson ArborPlex Set of spurs with L pads w/ foam soccer pads w/ tree gaffs Hitch climber pulley w/ swivel snap. Climb Right 5/8" wire core flipline kit. 2, Rock O auto lock biners and 2, Rock Pirate biners. 200' 3/8"...

So I'll concentrate on my posture more. I use a short section of throw line and a 20 oz throw bag to advance my rope but I'm thinking of going to a snap on the end of my rope with the 20 oz bag. I have gotten most all my climbing gear from WesSpur. But will start using TreeStuff also...

Alot of being comfortable in spurs is trial and error. I haven't always been chubby. When I speed climbed " tower loggin style " I weighed 180 lbs and used my hands to control myself. I had the muscle to do it and considered the pain to be just part of loggin. Now I use a top rope a lot...

IMO, tree gaffs stick better especially for off camber placement like a big knot or crook ect. With offset shanks they come left and right. Someone made a boo boo when they sent them to you Randy. My Bashlins are straight shaft my Kline's are off set.

If they are like all the Buckingham spurs I've had they are ambidextrous.

Seriously :-) Well. I gotta go shovel and break ice dams off a 2+ story 6/12 slope roof. Gonna put my Arbor Plex 1/2 over the ridge. Bowling on a bight at the peak tail holt tight on both ends to trees at ground level Put my Kern in the boab and my hh to my saddle We"ll see how it works out

Yes I most definitely could!!!!!

So. Here's something that works good and has other benefits. . You are going to need to be proficient tying several knots and hitches. . The Number 1 knot to become perfect at for climbing and working in trees and anything in life IMO is the Bowline. There are threads on here about knots...

Yup. There are lots of things that can help and with technique climbing can be a lot easier. But being in good condition is fairly mandatory for good results climbing. . Your young so you will be able to get in super shape. . Climbing is about the hardest work anyone can do. And it is a job...

I myself aren't crazy about the Caddy pads and if you get them MAKE SURE THEY ARE BIG ENOUGH TO FIT. Spend an hour in the spurs with the caddy pads that are too small and it'll make you repent of climbing. Bin there done that. I have 20" calves. I really like the Big Buck pads. They are...

FFZ, I'm a bit lighter than you but a lot shorter. :) I also used foam pad inserts this past year. I set them inside my tall Viberg boots and lace them up. They really helped. Your Whites are pretty good but you will still get numb feet. My Viberg 105 T with the Urethane sole are awesome...

I wonder if he soiled his drawers. . Also makes me wonder if there wasn't a line in that top pulling on it. . I've taken some small rides but never anything close to that.

FFZ, just sozs ya know. We don't NEVER want to see you do something like that. It's always best to cut things off a tree as lite as you can! Plus, plus, plus all the other stuff that guy did wrong. And be careful in that cottonwood.

I had a book a number of years ago some good friends got for me in B.C. . The title. ". Never Chop Your Rope "

:thumbup: That is so important. Maybe the most important.

I've done several trees with pole gaffs. . I found out I spurred out ALOT more than with tree gaffs. I think it had to do with my forefoot contacting the tree. And they were almost useless when I had to climb on the low side of the tree that had a bad crook in it. . I about debarked the...

Excellent idea.

Its good to see someone else uses a white bucket :lol::)
