So what is the anti-shake device and what are the burlap sacks for?

[CornellTreeClimbing]

@MatthewBanchero The antishake device is for a camera, and the burlap sacks were to hold seed cone as we collected them for a UC Berkeley / CAL Fire project.

Great video guys

Looks like an amazing trip

Something I have been wondering though is what is a good harness for tree climbing ??

Currently the harness I use is uncomfortable after just a few minuets of ascending

@myguinness94

petzl sequoia or a saddle by new tribe those would be ideal

Nice film guys. Makes me feel as if I'm actually up there with you (and saves me getting out of this comfy chair away from this beer!!) Thanks - you've inspired me to take my little 'un for a climb up one of our small British trees this weekend.
