    pole vs tree gaffs

    lower D's seem to help, I always just spur up to the first limb (not on trims duh) and set a line, then use my long lanyard, flipline and climb line to flip/flop up the tree, works well and is safe ish, I gotta buy a new throwball, mine is at the end of its lifespan, but always a great feeling...

    pole vs tree gaffs

    will take a pic here in a few yes, as much as everyone says not to, your flipline will catch you when you gaff out (as long as your on rough bark, ive tested this extensively) got to 50ft and it still sucked bad enough to come back to the ground

    how much force does the tree gaffs put on your knees? it looks like they are trying to pop your knee sideways more than pole gaffs
