Hello, I'm new here. I'm from SW Michigan and I'm looking into tree climbing recreationally. I first stumbled onto tree climbing because I was looking into harnesses for bow hunting. There is a growing interest to get away from back attached fall restrain and go with a more rock climbing style harness(front mount).
Anyway, after getting a couple tree stands stolen, having a few 100+yr old oaks on my property I'd love to climb, and needing a little arborist work done, rope tree climbing is looking really appealing.
I have a bunch of question...I'm suffering from info overload.
1. is it practical to climb a rope a hunting spot? or would I be sweating my butt off by the time I got up to my stand?
2.I was thinking SRT, rope wrench, frog or haas, Black Diamond Vario Speed Harness. would be the easiest way to get up in a tree.. thoughts?
I'm newby lost, I just want to get up in my trees fast and easy...any help would be greatly appreciated
