G'day every one,
Just wondering what equipment I.E. for climbing palms (30feet)is ideal when you have to remove them! and where in the hell do you buy the gear in Brisbane..............as well!
Thank you all for your time.

or as we saw today a ladder a piece of rope (to tie around the palm and hang on to) and a cheap chainsaw used one handed above your head. i didnt have my phone with me but if i had taken the picture you would have thought i had set it up, it was that rediculous.

A Harness, a set of Spurs & a Flipline with Adjuster would be the bare bones to do the job.

THe lowest price kit would be the Weaver harness, Steel spurs with T pads, iI recommend a steel wire core flipline - 1/2" x 8' will do, and the TreeGear Adjuster by Spyder. As separate items that would run up to $1069.80, but as a kit for TreeWorld members $990.00

THe best value place to buy in Australia is online from www.TreeGear.com.au and have it sent to you.
