    Thanks all. There is some great advice in here, in the end I couldn't make a custom list much cheaper than the kit. Now I just have to wait as it takes the slow boat from the states to here.

    Thanks guys. Alrighty, it's go to work time, I'm going to sit on an atv till dark, but I've got to pay for this stuff! Andrew.

    Nope, don't know anyone who can help me learn. I've enrolled in an arboriculture course - but as I said earlier I'm not convinced that I'll learn all I need to know. The way things are structured here they only get paid their government grant money when you pass. So everybody passes and the...

    Yep, work for myself. Weed control is the main thing, but I've grown the tree weed stuff to about 1/4 - 1/3 of the year. I'm happy slinging a chainsaw, not so much in some of the other spraying jobs we get. If I can grow into some climbing work, I can do more of what I enjoy. But I don't need...

    PPE is covered, boots I'll run what I've got till I see a need. I'm running five ten exum guides. It's a rock climbing approach/guide boot, I've found the stealth rubber to be much grippier than the vibram rubber I see on most of the dedicated arb boots. I might be wrong, but from just climbing...

    Thanks MB. When you say pole saw I'm assuming you mean a handsaw on a stick, rather than the powered one I have now? I see it mentioned in the tree climbers companion for advancing the rope and other things, but I had put that in the things I could live without pile. Your list looks a lot like...

    Ok. That all makes sense - but i need to buy something, tying a lump of cheap nylon rope to the belt loops on my jeans doesn't have much appeal! Got any suggestions? I'm all ears.

    Well, your dvd's were the second thing recommended to me. They'll be winging their way to me soon! I've enrolled in an arboriculture course - but previous experiences with training providers leaves me thinking it's a 50/50 bet whether or not I get training or just certification. It's just the...

    Thanks, I think shipping costs to Aus might make that a local purchase.

    Yep - I figure I'm better off to get comfy on ropes before I try any removals, so spurs will come later.

    So I've read until my brain hurts, any reason I shouldn't buy this - http://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?category_id=180&item=157#detail I normally shy away from buying stuff in a kit, but this seems like good value to me even if it comes with a fairly expensive saddle. I've tried...
