PVC poles for tree recovery?

[Nick@JET]

Tree recovery needed, a renewed effort to read through this thread,
3" - 11lb rocket with dual Altimiters, GPS, camera , 54mm 6-gr case, unfortunately at the top of a 100' tree with the chute being the lowest part is about 65-70' off the ground. 50' pole standing on my truck and I'm 10' too short. Argh

I standby aluminum float poles which are used. They are 72 inches long and hook together (very durable thread). I have used 4 at a time which will extend to 24 feet. I have a plastic hook on one end.

+1, I like that idea, they would be ideal from my days working concrete many years ago.

The DARS club's Mr. Longarm (with paint roller attachment at the head end) performed tree recovery for a TARC team this past weekend. Available at most home improvement stores.

I think I'm going to try a tree trimmer and offer them a couple hundred bucks
