I'm fascinated by tree climbing and already having a strong interest in forestry, conservation and rope rescue, I'd like to pursue a side business as an arborist obviously that wouldn't be until I've worked for some tree companies etc.. I have a few friends in the business and I've been shown how to climb on a closed system. I know my knots from being a firefighter and don't have a fear of heights. I'm here so I don't bother my friends so much with all my questions! I was hoping to ask alot of them here and practice climbing in my yard and with my friends. I currently have no gear and was wondering what else I need besides a harness.
Right now all i know is to get a harness, I was looking at a petzl harness. I know I need some biners but now sure what ones and I need some rope, a helmet and a throw ball. I would also like if anyone had book recommendations and videos.
