I must admit, Frans has a good point. I have all the lastest and greatest gadgets and tools. There are things in my tool box that I have no idea how to even use.
Half the hitches and knots I tie aren't even tied right. When I go up to a simple removal, it take hours to just get my rope up there, then I like to set a second one just for safety.
The big shot take ten minutes to find, set up, and then I launch the bag so far it takes all hundred and fifty feet of string and disappears into the neighbors yard.
Then hooking up ascenders, rope grabs, pantins, and back ups on all three, gets me safely hooked to my rope, only to have my running bowline at the base come untied and I fall on my butt.
If I ever make it into the tree, I always forget to put the cambium saver into a spot it will come out. Then I thread the rope through the wrong way, so it wouldn't matter anyway.
As I work down, the bugee lanyard on my saw wraps around my neck, my VT is tied to long so it won't grab but that's ok because I have two Lockjacks (in parallel). I stay tied in twice, my DUMBO lanyard has a positioner on both ends and one in the middle.
I may not be wired right for climbing, so I'm thinking about teaching!
