12' Buckingham Treesqueeze
The Buckingham TreeSqueeze is made from the same 7/16 uniline as the Buck RigidLine except the rope is doubled for extra rigidity, cut resistance and surface area. A large aluminum ring on the end allows for easy attachment to your saddle with a carabiner—or, when used with a ringed prusik, the climbing line can be fed through to allow a choke on the tree. This provides Fall Protection during a gaff out or an escape option if you have to quickly descend the tree. Retrieval of the Buckingham TreeSqueeze™ from the ground is the same as retrieving Friction Savers.

Buck Supersaver
The SuperSaver™ was developed in conjunction with Jamie Chambrelli and the team at ArborMaster®. A truly revolutionary, patent-pending, double hole friction saver and canopy anchor system that will change the way you navigate the canopy forever! Our goal during development was to design a product that would provide you with all the standard adjustable Friction Saver functions. But we also wanted to design a plethora of other revolutionary functions as well, including the use of both an SRT (Single-Line/Non-Moving Rope System) and a DRT (Double Rope/Moving Rope System) on the same anchor at the same time using one product! The SuperSaver™ offers endless opportunities for new and existing ways to navigate the canopy safely and is the most revolutionary and versatile adjustable friction saver and canopy anchor combination ever seen!
