Description
Tree Climbers Companion
The Tree Climbers Companion is a practical field manual for anyone who climbs trees for work or recreation. It gives you clear, hands‑on guidance for staying safe, moving efficiently, and solving real problems you face in the trees.
This book breaks down essential tree‑climbing techniques step by step. It shows you how to get into a tree, set safe rope systems, climb up and down, and manage your position once you’re off the ground. You learn proven methods that work in both moving rope systems (MRS) and stationary rope systems (SRS).
The manual also explains how to pick, inspect, and use your gear correctly. It covers ropes, harnesses, knots, carabiners, ascenders, and other key tools. Each topic has simple instructions and clear diagrams that make it easy to understand and apply in the real world.
Safety is front and centre throughout the book. It teaches you how to check your gear before each climb, evaluate hazards, and climb with confidence. The writing stays direct and practical so you can learn quickly and remember what matters most when you’re working at height.
Knots and rigging get their own focus too. You learn which knots to use, where to use them, and how to tie them right every time. The illustrations make it easy to practise and master these skills before you test them on a real climb.
This book works as both a training guide and a daily reference. Beginners get a solid foundation to start safe climbing, and experienced climbers can refresh their skills or learn updated techniques. It fits easily in a gear bag, so you can review techniques on the job.
In short, the Tree Climbers Companion helps you climb better and safer. It gives you the knowledge you need to plan climbs, work confidently, and stay focused on what matters most in the canopy.
