i am here daily, and dont see many posts about a gas powerd acession systems... are you as scared as i am? getting up a tree is what ive been trying to get good at for the last ten years....... the work part is one thing, but i feel alot of skill is needed to ascend efficentliy>>, im nervous that the" WRAPTOR" will take my skill away,, when i think about it?,,,,, //it is almost like the BIGSHOT.!!!/// and i wont set a throw a line with out it..i lost that skill years ago and the bigshot has saved me hours of fustration .. so JET PACKS are they really next?,, i know any seasoned aborist as had the jetpack conversation,,the future is tommorow, so maybe ill just sharpen my 372 because its dull.. hit a some metal in a dirty town..,,,,, how will i ever fit a power head in my climbing bag?

It's not that it isn't safe... it's that it makes you look like an egghead...

The Wraptor is a sweet piece of gear, especially if you're old and your knees are starting to give out... it will add years to your climbing career. It's nothing to be afraid of, it's something to look forward to.

Next thing ya know, they'll be landing on the moon......

its been so long, like 4 years since ive been to a tci tradeshow , who has used the wraptor or something simalar?

 

[Rookieclimber]

Just saw it for sale in the new baileys catalog..... what a price tag

 

[altissimus]

... Lots of info. on the Wraptor over at the TreeHouse .... Dave

 

[arborworks1]

The wraptor price is just right. The added production will pay for it quick. 1 minute to your TIP. Fresh and ready to go get em.

 

[altissimus]

...... looks a smooth , safe , and easy ascend on video ...

It's made by Ropetek in Virgina. I think you can demo it if you give a CC number as a deposit.

 

[theXman]

I currently have the demo unit.

every day we want to get around to using it but it just hasn't happened yet and before the weekend comes, I think to myself, I get a chance to use it at my house.

we haven't used it yet. but we will soon and I'll give my opinion of it.

I think it will be a useful tool and looking forward to using it.

any producer of a really good product, doesn't mind demo-ing the product because they know if someone tries it, they will like it. I'm sure it's going to be great.

Paul has four units to send out as loners.

Long live the wraptor. It' is the best.
just my 2 cents worth.

But it better be solid if I'm going to hang my asp from it.

I'm going right now to ride it up to the 46' high tree house that dunlap built for me.

Sunset!

Stephan,

How about getting a demo for the Southern Chapter TCC? It could be set up between the prelims and the Masters and the guys could try it out.

 

[easyphloem]

I'll work on that.

We have had our Wraptor since mid January. We use it every chance we get, pretty cool ascender and what an energy saver, we are able to get more done.

We also have a brand new unit in the box for sale if anyone is interested.

 

[arborworks1]

Paul can sell that unit for you I'm sure, Call him.

The heavy comment is a bit much. No worse than a mid size chainsaw.
