Hanging up high

[Refreshing]

Any idea how to find his posts

Flash a bright light into the sky two times and I will come running. Flash it three times if you feel that there is time for me to put on my pants before I arrive.

Here is the picture that did not show up in the link to one of my older posts. It is my second favorite picture that I have taken!

Also, if you follow the link in my signature it will bring you to a thread that explains basically everything. There are links with pictures of all my old trips, a list of weights of all my gear, a tutorial about the hammocks that I built, and there is a bit of info about how to safely ascend a tree (but don't do it without proper training )

I am a certified arborist and am amazed at how well hippies climb trees. Two hundred feet up a redwood in 5 minutes and then don't come down for three years. I want to go up there and live too.

Check out this tree trimmers hammock.....for lunch breaks and such. Much better than the old Blackbird for an permanent arboreal life style. From New Tribe tree stuff. It adjusts into a bed too.



The traditional way to get high in a tree is first Zing It with a throw bag or crossbow, then a long rope, and then with some low tech prussik knots connecting your harness to
the rope. But I think the EarthFirst! ladies use rock climbing gear.......

That's a very cool hammock.

I was planning to use climbing gear as well, rock climbing harness a pair of petzl ascenders with runners for foot loops, I have climbing experience, just gotta learn about the tree safety

thanks for the advice, as I mentioned above I can climb, I just have to learn about tree safety

Take note of the part where he has to pee out of a hammock (not too bad,) while wearing a harness (ok this is starting to suck,) from 50 feet up in a tree (nevermind I don't want to try that.)

Well just use a pee bottle, dump it when you get down, many use a gator aid bottle for this and get rid of it after the trip.

I am going for a picture first, then if I like being up there I will look into making it safe enough to spend the night.

I never hang higher than I want to fall.
