Monkey Beaver harness

New Tribe is a longstanding super legit tree gear making company. They're efficient in their production, they work primarily with fabric (harnesses, tree hammocks etc.) and have a highly skilled staff working on production. Casey is their lead harness designer, he is constantly innovating, not content to sit back on their many past successful designs. New Tribe has always been innovative, will talk to you on the phone and will customize if you ask. They are full of heart with love for the tree climbing community and the trees. If there is some delay right now in delivery or communication I imagine they are being hit with demand beyond what they expected. They are in for the long run and will make it happen for you. I'm not affiliated with NT in any way but have dealt with them for many years. I'm very happy to see this harness happen, great introductory vid by August, brilliant design, kudos to all involved!

One other thing that is noteworthy, I'm pretty sure they were first on the market with something we take for granted, the fabric and ring throw bag. I never had to work with an actual "throw ball", and I'm glad for that. Thank you New Tribe for making my tree climbing life better in so many ways.

Moss thank you for those kind words. We are all heart here at New Tribe for sure. It is our passion to serve the tree climbing community and others who work and play at height. I owe everything I know about making harnesses to New Tribe and all of the excellent climbers that I get a chance to talk with. I picked up where the other great people before me left off.
Yes, the demand for the MB saddle is high and we have had a few hitches with supply but we are kicking them out and gaining momentum every day. It has been a great experience to design a harness with August and Samurai Joe.

Yes it is true that NT invented the shot pouch (before my time here). Thank you for highlighting that as those things can get lost since they have been knocked off.
I still have the book you signed for me. A treasure for sure. Thank you.
 
Hey guys it's been awhile since I have posted. I recently acquired the Monkey Beaver saddle. I have seen it as it was slowly produced and was first put off about it. I'm a fan of August and how good of a guy he is. The Monkey Beaver thing was always a lil dorky to me. August has helped me get setup with a job that I got and am still thankful for that. I gave it a try and used it all weekend doing different adjustments on it before I actually purchased it. I must say it's the most comfortable saddle I have been in. New Tribe just makes top notch comfortable shit. Well I bought it and it's going to be my second week using it. The thing is loaded with my tools because hey I'm a young arborist and try to be cool lol. Not. Anyways, the huge back bad is amazing. The side D rings are small which I like but the legs have paw plates that help a ton as well. I do alot of fine pruning and crane removals so getting to the tips is always comfortable. I couldn't believe how riding the ball felt in the saddle. Almost felt like I had a seat and was relaxed. My tree motion always put me at weird angles and never felt good. I believe it was the cause of my bad posture which ultimately led to excessive cramping at the end of the day. Ill say it again I got a Tree Motion trying to be a cool guy so don't let the graphics put you off. It's an amazing saddle and I promise you will love it. I have a few photos of it all setup.
