The Arboricultural Association hosts the Tree Climbers’ Forum as a key interactive ARB Show attraction each year. The forum gives arborists the chance to get impartial advice on climbing kit, techniques and have a go with practical demonstrations.
We hope you find the resources available in the virtual tree climbers’ forum useful!
We will be premiering a video on 2 rope techniques on our YouTube channel during the event. Terry Banyard will be running through different setups needed to get you up and running on the new guidelines. We will be posting the time of the premier to our Instagram channel.
We will be premiering this at 2pm on Saturday.
Below are links to our YouTube channel for the Live Stream and our Instagram.
Ever wonder if the bowline really is the best attachment knot or if you are even tying it correctly? Want to try the superior distel knot, but find it easier to just tie a prussic? Want to know which stopper really will stay in no matter what? If you want the answer to these questions, and many more, this is the webinar for you.
Have a couple of lengths of rope and cordage at hand, and you can practice in the comfort of your own home!
