>>873766That's just the gear that I use every day.
Lots of cool, but ultimately inferior ascenders, descenders, carabiners, and ropes are not there, as well as my old saddle and rigging gear that just live on the truck.
I climb trees for a living. I climb trees when I get off of work. This is the result of more than half a decade of collecting tools. That rope in the back on the left is 5/8" ultra tech. 42,000 abs. Costs about $8/foot, 200' long. Most of my other ropes are between $.80 and $1.50/foot and vary from 80 to 200 feet.
The triple action carabiners start around $20. The fancy ones go up to around $50.
That blue thing is a $350 multiscender. The climb helmet (which has been upgraded to a protos now) was $125. It has a $200 communications system installed. The pruning saws are $75 and $120 for the two pictured... even rings and small rigging plates vary from $5 up to $70. It would take me all day to itemize and list the price for everything that I have.
I don't have autism. I am good at what I do. Very good. And I make good money doing it.
The old lady kindly lets me make a huge mess when I am feeling it, as long as I pick up everything within a few days. As you can probably imagine, it can become quite a pile. The house is a rather nice 3 bedroom with a fenced in back yard in a halfway decent neighborhood. I'd like to be a little more suburban, but it can't be helped now.
Picture is why I need a 42000 pound rope. This storm damage was pushing the working load limit.
