    what to do with a hole in a tree?

    Splicing rope

    I splice everything I use. It's not that hard, but you must follow the directions supplied by the manufacturer of whatever rope you splice. New England, Yale, and Samson all have the splicing directions available online. I'd start there. As far as tools go, I barely use tubular fids, wire...

    Some pics from yesterday's pine

    Some pics from yesterday's pine

    I find that having the proper ppe(eyes, ears, head) allows me to be more comfortable in a tree. When I'm comfy it speeds up the learning process. Your wife would probably appreciate it too. All in all good effort.
