    Good gear, Shit gear?

    Thanks for the advice guys, and gals. Will absolutely be getting some hand pruners, something I've known that I needed for awhile, always seems to slip my mind though when I'm on treestuff looking at other shinies. Also for the advice on the the maasdam, got some other stuff to pick up first...

    Good gear, Shit gear?

    Wanted to start this in Reg's "message to young climbers" thread, but felt it should probably be it's own post. I'm a bit outside of the norm when it comes to tree work. Came straight from being a salesman at a Kubota/John Deere/Stihl dealer. Did that for a bit over a year, in which...
