    Domains for sale

    I'm considering selling a few domain names I don't use like www.tree-climbing.com www.tree-climbing.net www.tree-climbing.org www.treeclimbing.biz The reason I bought all these domains is because I didn't want anyone else in Italy to have them, but I don't mind if they are registered in...

    Rope harness

    I need information and pictures on how to make a harness with only a rope. This is part of a project related to Indian tribes in Ecuador, so any help will be greatly appreciated. The point is to allow them to climb more safely absolutely without equipment (no binners,etc). I want to make the...

    Commercial Tree Forums should be the ONLY Forums

    Sorry I'm a bit late here... I think that Mr. Vaden fails to understand the true nature of the web. FREE INFORMATION is the very essence of the Internet and information has never been a substitute for the work of a professional. Think of how much information is avaiable online about heart...

    advice on prusik loop ropes

    I know this thread will soon get side tracked into talking of other ropes... The point is that I'm a Yale importer in Italy and I'm adding a reel of 5/16" rope to a big order. So I must choose between one of those two... Aracom T has a Technora core while Crystalyne has a Vectran core. Both...

    Oxman Kickin A$$ at 125ft

    I think I was misunderstood... I meant to say that even if the sitter fell down completely on his own while Oxman was in the tree he would be in trouble. The other guy could "think" he saw Oxman doing something and that would mean going to court... I do try to save all the (beautiful) trees...

    Oxman Kickin A$$ at 125ft

    I think it all comes to what one is willing to do for money. Personally, I don’t even top trees for money and mind you, I’ve just lost a hell of a good client because of my refusal to “redimension” a beautiful beech. I also think that, regardless of one’s opinion on the issue, Oxman risked a...

    Children in Trees

    Finally a thread for a proud father to post a picture of his daughter. Talita usually goes up with a blake’s plus a loop for her foot, but in this pic she’s body-thrusting (the anchor point must be positioned in a way to give them a good grip on the tree). Once, on a very long ascent, I had her...
