16 bolts would get me 24’, with first bolt at 18” and last bolt at 24’. With the aider, first bolt at 36” last bolt at 24’, 8 bolts.
drill first and second bolt from ground and insert. Hook up lineman’s. Attach aider to 2nd bolt. Wrap across front of tree, pull up lineman’s, and step up. Hook aider midway to 2nd bolt which is now at hip level so my feet are even. Pull lineman’s tight. Drill third bolt at forehead level. Hook full length of aider to it.
Repeat.
I carried 8 bolts this year, and hinted from 8-25’ and never needed another bolt.
