    Excellent idea. If I had one of those I also would be tempted to climb a tall coconut tree.. Nah not really I don't do heights.

    the only thing I would add would be a safety belt pants and boots I'm not going up any tree wearing shorts and barefoot.
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    As a kid living on a small island in the Pacific, you basically first learned to climb mango trees and coconut trees. No devices needed !
