What came first?
OK Here is the Chicken or Egg First question.
What comes first to climb (Skip the boots as it is part of your clothing)
The gaffs (spikes, spurs, etc.) ?
The Saddle (Lanyard is part of Saddle) ?
The Rope ?
Which of these three can you do without and still ascend/descend the tree?
Of course without a saw there is no cutting, so that point is mute.

only rope
1970 gto you could climb with only a rope make a saddle with one end leaving a tail to make a friction hitch with and then foot lock with the other end once it is over the branch
no it's not easy, fast, fun, comfortable, it sucks but it is possible

My favorite climbing tool would be a toss up between my zubat and my fairlead pulley
What would make me feel handicapped if I were missing would be the leg straps on my saddle

im going to have to go with micro tender, used a lot of lanyard set ups and that one tool made the biggest impact
second is my echo cs341, i have climbed with t200 and 190s, but god damn it i hate those saws
the rest can be substituted for similar tools with minimal impact, saddle brand/style, rope brand...
boots are right up there tho too
