    Beginner Tree Climbing Tips

    Ayuh, I throw my rope to advance it. I've got an ISC Big Dan steel 'biner on the end that I can move my TIP at least 5' in heavy limbs and 10'+ if it's open. If I want to advance beyond that, say 20'+, I have a line mug hooked on my saddle with a "short"(60')throwline and 10oz weight that...

    The best part of it is, if you really enjoy it, it doesn't seem like work at all. :) You'll end up climbing a lot and getting a great "workout", it's a win win! :thumbup:;)

    Beginner Tree Climbing Tips

    I've got one I just learned about the other day. Maybe it's common sense/knowledge to some but it took me three tries to figure out what was going on. OK, so here is what happened. I wanted to set a line about 55'-60' up in a really nice TIP above where I wanted to work but, it was a "tight"...

    I can't say enough about those working climber DVD's. :notworthy: Jerry has a very relaxed, easy to understand way of teaching. If I can "get it", just about anyone can..... :lol: I love the boomerang toss! Took me a while to "get it", but I can actually use it with some success now. :D...

    Beginner Tree Climbing Tips

    Butch, I don't use them now but I used to use those soccer shin guards under my spurs, but when I changed over to the Caddie pads I didn't need them anymore. It's a great way to get a lot of extra protection for just "pennies". I still have them and consider putting them back on every time I...
