Good idea. That knowledge will really go a long ways.
I would recommend one of the devices Bangi mentioned, or the Petzl Zig Zag. Some of these can be used with SRT or DdRT.
lots of videos on YouTube as well. Get a Big Shot to get your throw line placed accurately. (I rigged mine with an archery release). Some good rope, a foot ascender and a good harness, a bunch of carabiners (locking and non locking), a top handle saw, more rope, prusik cord, loop slings, rope retriever, chest harness, portawrap, and a handful of other junk is all you’ll need. In no time at all you’ll have an angry wife and an empty bank account but you can climb any tree you want, and do a fair bit of damage to local houses and cars - maybe even take out a power line or two. It’s a wonderful adventure!
