The Appeal of New Tribe Climbing Gear Every product that New Tribe makes embodies four principle qualities: safety, utility, light weight and comfort. No other manu-facturer of climbing gear combines all four in every product like we do. Our climbing saddles have a unique look and feel that sets us apart from the rest. People in the climbing world recognize New Tribe as the producer of exciting innovations and unex-pected new twists in saddle design. New Tribe creates a full line of climbing saddles that range from the beefy and well-equipped professional saddles like the New Tribe Nikosi, to the simple, minimal recreational saddles for kids and adults. Another stand-out item in the New Tribe line is the Treeboat Hammock. This versatile outdoor bed is sturdy, stable and warm enough to use it for camping. Climbers delight in Treeboat because they can take it high up into the crown of a tree to relax and even to camp overnight! Options include tent, mosquito net, and insulation for cold weather, making it span the seasons. To accompany these principle products, New Tribe also makes a collection of bags, packs and more, specially designed with tree climbers in mind.

Almost 30 years ago, New Tribe emerged as the only manufacturer of climb gear made specifically for people who climb trees for fun. These folks became our early fans and promoted New Tribe by word-of-mouth. Here’s a bit of history about the booming interest in rope and harness climbing as a passionate sport.

Since When Do People Climb Trees for Fun?

Peter “Treeman” Jenkins is a working arborist in Atlanta, Georgia, whose love for trees and climbing is infectious. His clients see him at work in the treetops and remark, “Hey, that looks like fun!” Back in 1983 Peter began showing others the ropes and founded Tree Climbers International, the school and tree climbers’ club that has inspired people worldwide to see trees with new eyes. On the Pacific coast at the same time, the folks at New Tribe took their love for forest hiking in a new direction—vertical! Drawing from the tools and techniques of arborists, cavers, rock climbers, canopy researchers, and tactical squads, New Tribe refined a tree climbing style that suited the tall conifers of our region. Soon we were creating comfortable safety gear and clever new tools and toys for every-one who wants to get up into the trees. Every so often someone from the news media looks up into the trees and tells a story of finding climbers there. After years of frequent coverage in press, radio and TV, and a lot of word-of-mouth sharing, the notion of recreational tree climbing is reaching the mainstream. Local clubs, climbing schools and outfitters are flourish-ing. Nearly everyone we talk to reports that they used to love climbing trees as a kid. They are thrilled to learn that they can now return to the treetops using rope and harness, and bring that inner child out to play again. Here are links to a small sample of organizations and individuals that specialize in sport tree climbing clubs, training and adventures. You will be amazed by what you find there.

Both the belt and the leg straps move with you as you twist, turn and reach. Two small D-rings are provided for attaching optional suspenders to help distribute weight. Rear rescue loop is built to life-safety standards.

Adjust it only once--the first time you wear it. It will stay that way until you want to change it.

Note: As with other New Tribe saddles, the leg straps are intended to be loose on your thighs, allowing them to float on your legs as you move about. The purpose of the adjustability is to allow you to set the leg straps for good balance and comfort when hanging in the saddle. Wt 4.75 lbs Item SDLN

This is an Ultimate Saddle named for Tim "Tengu" Kovar, who wants a saddle as lightweight and as quiet and comfortable as possible without sacrificing safety. All of these features are important to a climber who wears his saddle while hiking into rough forestland, spends a lot of nights sleeping in his saddle, and wants to be ready for complicated rigging and rescue maneuvers. He also wants to vanish into his surroundings by keeping his visual and audio impact low.

The belt pad and leg pads on the Tengu are the shape and density of our arborist saddles, providing great support without restricting movement. The side D rings on the belt and the sliding D ring on the leg strap bridge are "soft" Ds that trim the weight and reduce noise, yet retain the life-safety strength of the saddle.

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 New Tribe climb buckets or additional carabiners

The leg strap details include: —quick-release buckles, making it easier to put on the saddle, or to open the leg straps 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 leg strap 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.

Color black with grey. Wt 3 lbs. Item SDLT in sizes S, M, L. Size XL available at a slightly higher price.

The Tree Fox Saddle is a climbing harness made for those who prefer to be unseen and unheard in a climbing set-ting. Having a low impact on natural surroundings allows wildlife to behave undisturbed by your presence. This is important for wildlife observation, tree hunting, and any activity where you just want to disappear into the back-ground.

Tree Fox is a full-featured sit harness for tree climbing. It's a typical New Tribe leg strap saddle with a fixed tie-in point front and center, and a sliding D on the leg strap bridge.

Like our popular Yellow Jacket saddle, Tree Fox delivers superior comfort without bulky padding. Instead, it employs a diamond grid of structural webbing that distributes your weight so perfectly you'll feel no pressure concentration at all. Without bulky pads, this saddle is lightweight and compressible, making it easy to wear and easy to carry. You can wear it while hiking to your climbing tree and not even know it is there.

Tree Fox is loaded with practical features for serious climbing: --4 slots on the belt for attaching gear bags and tools --2 carabiner loops --2 gear loops --Quick-release buckles on leg straps.

Structural features that reduce weight and bulk: --Diamond grid structural pads replace bulky foam cushions --Soft side Ds on belt replace steel hardware, with no reduction in safety performance. --Soft D on leg strap bridge replaces steel hardware, with no reduction in safety performance.

For saddle closure, Tree Fox comes with a galvanized steel screw link in a fabric sleeve that keeps it silent and invisible.

EASY RIGGER Made to order for big-tree researcher Dr. Steve Sillett, this line bag is a deeper drawstring bag that flares at the lower end for greater volume, with an oval shape (instead of round) for com-pactness, to keep it closer to your body.

Ideal for tree climbers who want a smart way to carry an extra-long lanyard, Dou-ble Daisy rig or split-tail rig. It holds up to 55 feet of

½" arborist rope. Designed to slide onto your saddle belt.

Grey or Black Wt 5 oz. Item ASYRIG

LINE BAGS LINEMUG The Linemug is a little stuff sack for your throwline. The line pays out smoothly when you throw, and stuffs back in when you’re finished. The bag features an external D ring for clipping to your saddle, a webbing loop inside for tying off the end of your throwline, a webbing side handle, and a drawstring top to keep line and weight inside when you aren’t using them. The finishing touch is a swivel snap hook on the rim for clipping onto your pants belt—a very con-venient setup when handling line. The snap hook is also a handy place to attach your Shot Pouch for easy access. The Linemug is 5" in diameter and 6" tall, easily holding over 150 feet of light nylon line. Available in Forest, Black, or Red. Wt 2.5 oz.

Item LMUGF (forest), LMUGBK (black) or LMUGR (red)

BIG LINEMUG

For climbers who use stiffer throwlines, a larger bag like our Big Linemug can make stuffing practical. It also makes a good carabiner/climbing hard-

ware bag. 8" x 8" with a drawstring top and a Linemug-style handle down the side that makes it possible to slip it over your saddle belt for carrying

rigging straps and hardware aloft.

Available in Yellow. Wt 4.5 oz. Item BLMUG

LINEBAG This is the choice gear bag for recreational tree climbers. We made this our 2005 Rendezvous gift to participants, who loved it so much they came back to buy more. The Linebag is the same 8" x 8" size as the Big Linemug, but with handles like a small Ropebag. New Tribe embroidered patch is sewn on. Good for stuffing longer lanyards. The Linebag is also a good all purpose carabiner/hardware/lanyard bag, and it’s swell for a feed bag, too. Pack your lunch and climb.

Forest green color. Wt 7 oz. Item LNBAG

PRO SADDLE SUSPENDERS If you carry a lot of weight on your saddle belt, it helps to distrib-ute the load using suspenders.

This is a single suspender for use with New Tribe's professional saddles. Worn across your chest like a bandoleer, this suspender will stay on your shoulder. It's so close-fitting it never gets in your way. The strap length can be adjusted at both ends, so you can position the shoulder pad where you want it and it will stay there.

One is enough if you hang heavy gear like your chainsaw on only one side of your belt. Two suspenders work to-gether, one over each shoulder, when you want comfortable support for both sides of the belt.

Wt 4 oz Item SUSP

It's a rope bag, a tarp, and a backpack. For efficient rope management, spread the tarp, flake the rope onto it, fold in the sides and roll it up into the pack like a burrito. Pull the drawstring snug, cinch up the compression straps and sling it onto your back to hike out to the trees. To deploy, unroll the tarp and haul up your rope free of tangles or debris from the ground. The pack is roomy at 16 inches tall and 10 inches in diameter. The tarp measures 40 by 55 inches and is sewn securely into the pack. There are two contrasting color loops on the tarp where you can tie the ends of your rope to keep it in order. Fits up to 300 feet of 7/16" rope. Compression straps, waist belt and padded shoulder straps are all adjustable, providing for a stable, comfortable load. There is a large convenient pocket on the outside, and tie-downs on top for lashing on extra gear. Built to last, made of tough weather resistant coated nylon canvas and pack cloth. Wt 1 lb 6 oz Item SHANTA

SHANTA ROPE PACK

Proper care and storage makes a big difference in how long your rope will hold its value. You can protect your rope from light, moisture, abrasive grit and damaging solvents if you keep it clean and dry in a bag. A bag also makes transporting your rope safe and convenient. We think the best way to manage a rope is to keep it stuffed (not coiled) into a good rope bag. Stuffing doesn’t put twists in the rope and it pays back out of the bag like magic.

Our large Rope bag measures 1593 cu. in., 13" wide x 12" high, holds 200 feet of 1/2" arborist rope or 7/16" static rope.

Medium olive green rope bag measures 1244 cu. in., 12" wide x 11" high. It holds 150 feet of 1/2" arborist rope, or 7/16" static.

With reinforced rim and sides this bag is made to stand open so it's easy to stuff your rope into it.

1000 denier nylon canvas and firm webbing for stiffness and durability, pack cloth top with drawstring closure, two carrying handles, a steel ring at the rim and webbing loop inside at the bottom.

Protect your rope, organize your gear. Many other creative and constructive uses. Wt 1 lb. Item RBAGL (Orange), RBAGM (Forest)

TREEBOAT HAMMOCKS

We originally created Treeboat Hammocks for backpacking and paddling—it gave us a way to camp that was better than sleeping on hard ground, with a lot more options for where we could stop for the night. To our delight, Tree-boat’s strength and stability proved to be perfect for tree-canopy camping, too. Imagine climbing up into the top of a tree, and then getting to stay there, in blissful comfort, all day and even all night…

Treeboat is more than just a great piece of outdoor gear. Creating the first Treeboat in 1985 was a watershed event in our lives that changed how we spent our time outdoors. Nothing we own gives us the same feeling of wealth as the Treeboat, and if we could keep only one of our New Tribe creations, Treeboat would win hands down. It’s tremendously satisfying to watch Tree-boat continue to change other people’s lives the way it did ours.

TREEBOAT HAMMOCK Treeboat opens up a world of possibilities for getting comfortable at ground level and high in the trees, in all kinds of weather. Treeboat is a hammock that is sturdy, stable and warm. It won’t tip or sway. It won’t clamp shut around you. It is strong and roomy enough for two people to share (for lounging; overnight sleeping is usually best with one person per hammock). You can even stand and walk in it.

This rugged portable bed is 6’6" long, 30" wide, and made of tough nylon canvas renowned for its strength and abrasion resistance. The straps are 4000 lbs test 1" tubular nylon web- bing run-ning full length along both sides of the boat, ending with a buckle at each corner. It comes with 35 more feet of webbing, in 15- and 20-foot lengths for versatile rigging possibilities. The four buckles are 500 lbs proof load stainless steel. They are easy to adjust and eliminate knot-tying

during set-up. Each corner bears a 2500 lbs test rolled aluminum ring that helps stop rain water from wicking down the shrouds; the rings are also handy attachment points for the inventive rigging often called for in tree--top hammocking. The slip-in battens at each end are lightweight fiberglass-epoxy composite, to brace Tree-boat out to its full width. For easy handling in the field, every Treeboat comes with its own haul bag.

Wt 4 lbs 10 oz. Item TBH

TREEBOAT LEAVES NO TRACE

TREEBOAT ACCESSORY LINES An accessory line is a length of the same 4000 lb. tubular webbing as the standard Treeboat lines, with an eye sewn at one end. You can wrap it once around a branch or trunk, pass the end through the eye, and cinch it snug. Then join the free end to the Treeboat's corner buckle and tug it to the tension you want. Use one accessory line per corner in placements where a longer standard line is less convenient. Expand your Treeboat rigging possibilities, and make setup even easier! Sold by the pair, one at 6.5 feet and the other at 11 feet. Wt 8 oz. per pair. Item TBEYE

TREEBOAT ACCESSORIES

TREEBOAT COZY Imagine Treeboating year ‘round! This accessory for the Treeboat completes the perfect

comfort of your hammocking experience. Even in a Treeboat, hammocks lose heat from the all-around air contact. Our Cozy is insulation that attaches to the underside of the Treeboat

where body weight can’t crush it. In temperatures below 70º the reflective warmth of the Cozy turns your Treeboat into a soothing cradle that will delight you and can extend your

hammocking time throughout the day and night and across the seasons. Made of 8 oz fiberfill insulation sandwiched between lightweight nylon and weather resistant coated nylon oxford.

Wt 2 lbs. Item TBCOZY

TREEBOAT TENT More roomy and weather-tight than the Rainfly, the Tent has three fiberglass ribs that hold it

out like a covered wagon top. Made of water resistant 200 denier coated nylon oxford. The center rib can be set to flare outward giving ventilation and entry access from beneath, or it can be pulled in close to the sides of the Treeboat to keep wind out. Zippered vent doors at

each end. Snap hooks at each end allow mounting of the Mosquito Net inside the Tent. Wt 2 lbs 10 oz. Item TBTENT

TREEBOAT RAINFLY This is a lightweight, versatile sheet of weather-resistant nylon oxford cloth that arches over

the Treeboat. It is fitted with snaphooks, ties and D-rings that allow you to rig it as a rain shelter, sun shade, wind break, or privacy shield. With fiberglass ribs at each end that shape it

into an adjustable arch. The Rainfly can be used together with either of our Mosquito Net. Wt 1 lb 12 oz. Item TBRAINFLY

TREEBOAT MOSQUITO NET This full-length net is essential for peace and comfort when using your Treeboat around pesky

insects. It completely envelops the hammock. The zipper is positioned so you can open one whole side of the net for easy in and out of the

Treeboat. There are two zipper pulls that come together to close the zipper, and you can position them where it suits you best--low, within easy reach when you are lying in the ham

mock, or high, to allow your climbing rope to pass through the net to reach your anchor branch. Wt. 1 lb. Item TBMQNET

TREEBOAT OUTRIGGER BAG One of the best things about using a Treeboat Hammock is the lovely, lazy feeling of relaxing in the trees. It's heaven to read a book, watch birds, eat a picnic lunch, take photographs, or just

chug some water while lounging there. Here is our idea for a great way to keep it all handy.

The Outrigger is made of 400 denier nylon packcloth. It measures 18" long and 16" deep. Inside, it has one main

compartment and two smaller pockets made of mesh so you can see their contents. Stiff webbing reinforces the top of the bag so it won't capsize when loaded.

This bag clips between any two D-rings along the sides of your Treeboat, so you can hang it where it suits you best. It has a generous top flap that closes with a hook & loop fastener, to
