my hips. I'm a small thin guy over 50. That has helped my hips but not my back I can spike up a TD tree with my lanyard but it kills my back the
next day. Any advice is most welcome and believe it or not, I want to do
this in my semi-retirement years. Did all kinds of sports when I was
younger and so I'm still fairly physically fit. I read something about the
TreeMotion saddle at Sherrill but the picture of it does not have me con-
vinced. Thanks for any recommendations!  |
I like my traverse alot, but the Tree Motion definately blows it away. I tried on the Tree Motion when a salesbloke came to our class trying to flog stuff off. This thing instantly moulds to your groove and has great support. The only thing I didn't try was clipping a saw to it, as apparently Jimfrom NZ says its like the harness is being pulled offa you when you have one dangling. Go to your local arb shop that sells the Tree Motion and try it out, im pretty sure you'll be convinced.
Jim, we need ya here to give your rating.
