This list encompasses what my client is referring to as "Boot Camp". This training evolution is only intended to last two weeks. When I copied and pasted the list I missed two items, fueling equipment, and doing a vehicle inspections. Chipper operations are covered, but actually using a chainsaw...
I am a contract climber and trainer. I have recently been working with a company developing there new hire training program. So to answer the original question about training videos, I am not aware of any that would really do a comprehensive job, so what I do is use videos as visual aids and...
The boots are have only been worn two days on a felling job. I developed some hotspots and decided that they just did not fit my feet very well; a little too narrow in the toe box. I am looking to get $175.00 for them but I am willing to entertain offers. They are just sitting here collecting...
