    Climbing a tree with lean

    Kinda a noob question, but what is the best way to climb a tree that is leaning? Lets say that the first 20ft is straight up, then its starts to curve toward the light. Is it best to climb "underneath" the lean/curve, or above it? This would be with gaffs/lanyard and a tip in an adjacent tree.

    Jeff, is there a way to tell by serial number or packaging which version of zig-zag one has, as in ver. 2 vs. 3?

    Mini loader in chip box

    I looked into some type of ramp to put a mini-EX into the back of an F550 dump. Never actually did it, as a cam tilt trailer came along. But I found that the entry ramps for auto displays at car dealerships in theory should have supported the weight of 8k lbs.... -They show up on craigslist...

    Would You Climb It?

    That's what I was thinking... I dont think its worth taking a chance on... So my plan is as follows: The Yellow line is a 5/8" static line to be used as a high line. -I still have to get a 5/8" trolley. The Orange line is a 1/2" static for traversing, and the green lines are rappel/climbing...

    Would You Climb It?

    I kinda have a plan to remove this. I'm just curious what others think, if this is something you would attempt to climb/rope on. Believe it or not, this tree has a full crown every year...

    Hello, New Guy Here

    Looks good, what length rope do you guys typically run? I figure if the tree is 100ft tall: 200ft to go up and down plus another 50-100ft for ground guys?
