Comes with everything you'll need to get started climbing trees, either professionally or for recreation.Most of the gear is from a company called New Tribe, which I am not affiliated with. I bought this gear about a year ago and life has changed courses for me, so I need to sell it.It has been used less than a handful of times, just to test it out. Everything is in superb, practically new condition.You wont find a kit like this anywhere else, I put this together myself. All of the gear is high quality, not what you get from most starter kits.What you get:New Tribe 'Tengu' Saddle - Stainless Steel Pear Screw Link. This is an "ultralight" work saddle named for Tim "Tengu" Kovar, who wants a saddle as lightweight and as quiet and comfortable as possible without sacrificing safety.The belt details include:--three soft gear loops, one on each side and one at the back--a carabiner loop behind each side gear loop--soft side Ds--two gaps on the belt webbing that can carry either climbing buckets or additional carabinersThe legstrap details include:--quick-release buckles, making it easier to put on the saddle, or to open the legstraps for bathroom convenience.--two accessory loops, one on each leg strap. These little loops come in handy for a variety of applications, since whatever you put there will be within easy reach: Linemug, handsaw, water bottle, camera bag. It's a quick place to tie the other end of your rope when double-end climbing.--the soft floating D on the legstrap bridge glides smoothly when you shift from one side to the other. If you place the apex of your Delta Screw Link into the floating D it grabs the Delta tighter to prevent it from rotating as you climb.Weight = 3 lbs. and the color is Black/Charcoal.   The Size is listed as SMALL which is for waists of 26" - 32" inches.This is a high quality harness and is made for comfort and ease of use.

The line is long enough for setting ropes over anchor branches up to the 100-foot zone. Target Line is waxy-slick so it will return over most branches with a light 12-ounce weight.200 feet Target Line12 oz Shot PouchBig Throwing Line Bucket Pouch with drawstring, spools straight from the bucket.EXTRAS - Included in this kit:2 x PETZL WILLIAM TRIACT CARABINERS- This triple locking carabiner has a large pear shape good for belaying and work positioning.
