Honest question.
This may make me seem like a tree hugger. And I assure you I am not. I burn wood in the winter as our main source of heat. I clear trees on my farm as needed.
But I can’t help but think that drilling holes for bolts and or using spikes to climb may have an adverse effect on the trees health...which is likely why it isn’t allowed on most public land properties.
So my honest question is...have any of you been using bolts/spurs on trees and in the same timber long enough to observe any negative effects on the trees health - i.e. trees dying, bark rotting off after moisture gets behind it, etc?
Again, I think that if you want to use bolts or spurs and it’s legal...go for it! Whatever gets you safely up and down the tree!
Just genuinely curious for those of you that have used them long term to chime in on what you’ve observed!
