thanks to all - I spent a day at the beech, north georgia area here. I found a great beech along a river - and spent about 3 hours in it until the rains drove me out. I've climbs sycamores, and oaks so far. BUT I am looking for something else.
I am on the rec forum(s) but find that not many people are posting interesting things, BUT there are a few and what is there is quite interesting. Some think they can not cross over and use the same gear as the Pro's. I am here to see if I can make my tree climbing easier on me and my body. Starting out so I have a LOT to learn. Today, proud here, was the first time I was comfortable using my lanyard to tie in to fix an issue with my carabiner. I would like to learn about ascender and pulley's and other little mechanics. Right now I am on an open split tail and once I am comfortable with that, i will move onto the next, a closed system.
I may not be able to add much information to this site, I will more then likely as many question in order to learn.
thanks in advance for being patient with me.
