Re: New device \"Tree Climb\"

The video is such a TEASE!

Is it for sale?
What size rope?
Battery power it looks like?!

Keep us in the loop, it looks like a winner!

That's got to be too good to be true. Or nuclear powered.

Re: New device \"Tree Climb\"

very nice, when, where, how much (hopefully under $1000 mark that the raptor destroys)

Re: New device \"Tree Climb\"

This is the initial thread.

and after an argument with Wouter and the manufacturer I went on on this thread. This one is the most interesting.

Re: New device \"Tree Climb\"

Why is the rope piling up at the base of the tree on his decent? This would conclude he is being lowered and not descending with the machine.

(not my observation, but brought to attention by another)

Re: New device \"Tree Climb\"

All joking aside, if someone were to really design and manufacture this thing roughly the same size, it'd no doubt become a top seller in the arb industry, the actsafe and ropetek wraptor are just too big, someone out there must be working on a powered ascender which is compact and powerful, lithium ion batteries and small electric motors can produce a hell of a lot of power these days.

Re: New device \"Tree Climb\"

Has to be a fake....or nuclear powered. No way could something that small be capable of powering a human up or down a rope....

the vid is obviously faked, for the descent part anyhow.

I registered on the site...but both threads appear to have been pulled?

Re: New device \"Tree Climb\"

No they're not. What you see on the page is an invitation for a recreational TCC.
Just scroll down and you will find the threads

Maybe this works better. This is the Google translate link.

The other link is in the members section. That one I can't get translated by google (it keeps starting in the log in page).

There was only one. And that was to you. And an e-mail to Grover, but I give up
