Everyone here at New Tribe has a boundless love for the outdoors. Tree climbing has allowed us to take that love to new heights, and we are happy to offer you these tree climbing tools and toys that can help you do the same.We started out in 1984 creating tree climbing equipment for ourselves with built-in comfort, light weight and beautiful construction. Our special favorites are the New Tribe Saddle and the Treeboat Hammock. You’ll find fresh ideas in tree climber’s accessories, too.

As New Tribe grows, we are constantly improving our work with great ideas from our tree climber friends, professional tree climbers and amateurs alike. You’ll see their names throughout this catalog.

To round out our line, we’ve collected our favorite choices in ropes, pulleys, carabiners and links from the best manufacturers in the field, so you can find everything you want right here. All of us on the New Tribe team work to bring you quality products and personal service. We proudly offer a money-back guarantee if you are not happy with the fit, function and workmanship of your purchase. From Sophia Sparks, Viola Brumbaugh, Barbara Rodriguez, Casey Jones, Diane Floyd, Laurie Prouty, and Roxy Sincerny, thank you for choosing New Tribe tree climbing equipment. May your tree climbing be safe, comfortable and fun!

Why the name New Tribe? Are you guys related to Native Americans or something?”

We are a new tribe of people who enjoy each other and our home places. We are inspired by the old tribes everywhere who could craft a way of life in harmony with their surroundings. We share a sense of connection with wild nature. We take modern tools and materials and create a way to be as at home outdoors as we are inside our houses. We erase the line that divides work and play. We see each other and all creatures as kindred spirits. Trees are the venerable elders of our world. We go to them to give respect and find renewal. We are full of Life.

New Tribe includes the family of folks who work here, the larger family of you who use our tree climbing gear,

If you've known New Tribe for a few years, you'll remember when our tree climbing gear was a lot cheaper. In our enthusiasm to outfit everyone who wants to climb a tree, we set prices quite low, using a "seat-of-the-pants" method that didn't allow for the realities of running a business. Over time, we have changed our prices to keep pace with cost increases, and to bring our prices more in line with the real value of our goods, and with sound business practice for the health of the company. Thank you for appreciating the excellence we create at New Tribe, and for supporting American small manufacturers who pay a family wage.

Thank You!
