Personally I like high vis stuff camo or natural colored tools in a wooded environment aren't great.
I've been doing it all wrong, but hey, no one taught me that you're supposed to keep one elbow in contact with one knee at all times.
It's fine I'm sure they're using only the best zip ties, and it comes with a "security belt" so I'm sure they have safety in mind.
Everything about the product and ad is scary. The bad English, e.g. "Comfortable gears to conquer the trees effortless." All the things wrong in all the photos. Incorrect terminology. The glowing reviews, including a 5 star rating by an "arberest." The cable ties (that aren't even the black UV resistant ones.) And when did "not deformed" become a selling point?
I only hope the number of injuries these climbers cause is small.

I almost start to believe some entities are trying to kill us ... Setting up traps everywhere .
I bet they paid to make a great reviews by some companies in Philippines.
And ... Zip ties? ... K-razy .. this ain't fast & quick zip tie fix at pit stop of NASCAR racings ... My god ... Plastic fatigues and decay, frictions with movements aren't same as what it ratings of SWL, WILL, MBS says in real reality.

A friend of mine received a call for a tree job after a young man had been injured when his chainsaw "exploded". He was taken to a hospital with severe eye injuries. When my friend pulled up to the job the injured guys brother was taping steak knives to his boots with the idea that he would be able to spike up the tree. Grandma called a pro just in time. And if you're thinking that grandma is the only sane one here, she had a pig riding shotgun in her car.
Geez! Everyone knows you're supposed to use 2 zip ties.

I think he was pushing his saw to cut long after it was dull so it over heated and blew up. I thought my friend was making up the whole story until he showed me a picture of the tree they were trying to take down. It had all kinds of yard implements stuck in the trunk. I distinctly remember a pickaxe protruding from the trunk.
Thanks for sharing that @Vicente, but I can't afford to upgrade right now. Guess I'll have to keep using the steak knives for a while longer.

My eyes just kept going to that chain saw ... I dont know what a heck is going on or what caused all of this ...but thanks god it looks like her arm wasn't cut or decapitated... In a end, it seems like noone seriously hurt by this particular incident but close calls right next to the next ...
