[QUOTE="Madbowh, post: 5719486, member: 21149"] I made my own line and use a prusik knot. I never used to use a harness but I do now after sliding 20' down a tree. I get between 20 and 30'. Put your stand on the tree account for the tree tapering, put your harness on and just go. Keep your weight evenly distributed. I climb really fast but come down really slow. I'll go up easy 4 foot each climb and maybe 2' each time on the way down. I once climbed a telephone pole with my climber about 40' to take a light down. Used spikes on the shorter pole about 25' I set my prusik knot at the ground to make sure it won't slip if I fall and don't touch it the whole climb, I just loosen the loop on my drop line to slide it up the tree [/QUOTE]
