  • Thats some fast climbing around.

  • western chap are pretty crazy

  • hey!!! i live in Elk grove. :)

  • awesome!

  • That is the best stealth camping video I have ever witnessed. No one ever looks up to see if something is different. They are in nature and pay it no mind I always try to see what is stirring in the trees, water, air. Y'all make that look easy.

    Glad you had some insurance when up the tree.

    Pleas do more video of stealth camping with climbing ropes. And thanks for posting your video.

  • I did wear a saddle the entire time I was up in the tree for the night, but it was a super lightwight rock climbing model, just for sleep overs.

  • I love your video where you scale a tree set up a hammock then read Moby Dick. Did you wear a harness when up there sleeping is there any other safety precautions that could be taken?

  • little to do with tree climbing? hahahahaah

    ur retarded if ur gona do work in a tree without being tied in with a rope. maneuvering around the crown takes skill to do quickly. and

    3ld14b10:

    you can use a figure eight for repelling after foot locking or tie in and use whatever knot you want...vt, schwabisch, distel, michoacan, blake, tautline, etc... i use a schwabisch with a couple twists so it doesnt lock up so much if you sit in it for a while.

  • ahhh thanks you very much. so its a competition derived from the everyday tasks of arborists. it makes more sense now. so do they have to reach several checkpoints then get down?

  • For those professionals who evaluate, prune and/or remove trees (arborists; arboriculture), ropes, saddles and safety equipment is in fact used to preserve life and limb. So yes, ropes, saddles and many other pieces of safety equipment. How else to climb to the tops of large beautiful trees? So no disrespect taken - this is about working safely and the competition lets the best arborists and tree climbers demonstrate their skills.
