I’ve gotten a lot of requests for a look see video on the gear I use for recreational tree climbing. This video shows my current equipment, a set-up for a SRT frog rope walker climbing system and a SRT canopy limb cinch configuration I’ve been experimenting with . This is not a minimalist system by any means and the video is not intended as an instructional video. The audio isn’t the best and the clumsy commentary was unscripted resulting in a lot of ums and uhs, so feel free to laugh and/or mute as needed.

This is part 1 of 2. Part 2 will feature the actual climb and traverse.
