[Maui Palm & Tree Care]

duuude ok, i have waited long enough. i think im gonna have to save for a tree stand and a new makita 6401 with a 80cc 7900 big bore kit and an extra 32" bar and chain for the big stuff.

There was this baumvelo thingamabob, Italian design or something. Tree Bicycle. Sorta clamped around the tree, but moved when you stepped. more well suited to palms than other trees from the looks of it. $2500, no emergency descent option, as you are sorta hooked to the climbing devices.

the guy that desinged something similar to what you mentioned lives around here, and I got to meet him once. he has all sorts of cool ideas and inventions, mostly for forestry, but doesnt do that anymore, because his ideas didnt catch on...
