excert from TCI website:
For anyone who wants to climb for fun — it’s easy if you have good instruction! Hosted by Peter “Treeman” Jenkins, the “father” of recreational tree climbing and an ISA-certified arborist. Here Treeman shares his experience as a tree-climbing teacher and his knowledge of trees to show how you, too, can get high in the treetops! Contains detailed chapters about safety, tree selection and risk assessment in trees, gear, setting ropes and knot tying, climbing technique, and forest ethics.
Run time: 1 hour 45 min.

NOTE TO CUSTOMERS: This is an NTSC format DVD but will play in most modern players.

The DVD is just $30

Basic Tree Climbing Course

Pete a student of Tree Climbers is shown above using his footloops to gain a birds eye view. Sometimes the simplest gear is the best.
Modern technical tree climbing gives you the chance to safely explore those trees you previously thought were out of reach. A tree can be your playground or your place for meditation and fortunately in Brisbane we have lots of them. A basic tree climbing course can give you the keys to the playground. If you would like to register your interest  in a course please contact us.
