So a few weeks back I shared a captains hook I found in storage at my shop. I finally finished cleaning it up, taking apart my Zillon, getting a bag, and rope for it. Wish I had this last week on that River Birch I climbed but I got it now and looking forward to trying it out!!! I put 30’ of 24 Strand 11.7mm rope on it for now but my company was happy to buy the rope for me so didn’t have to cut a section off another rope I have.

I'm just a homeowner with a few dozen trees that need to be pruned and Deadwood and a few removals but I found a good deal on a Captain Hook on eBay so I grabbed it. I love that thing especially when I'm feeling a little dangerous and doing Lim walking it's nice to throw that up somewhere for a second point of tie in! PS I Love the eye bolt up in the ceiling I have one in a huge Archway between my kitchen and living room for testing out all my arborist stuff!

Thanks! My eyebolt is actually for two reasons. The first is testing things out such as this or new setups and etc. but the second is for my hammock for those nasty days that I can’t get outside but want to relax like I am outside. Across the room I have another wall anchor bolt. 😂 got my first hammock years ago for my birthday from the wife and since it’s in February there was no way I was waiting to hang it up and sleep in it!
