    Where to put your lanyard when negative rigging?

    When you work on the large stem with the 32 inch + bar and you are doing negative rigging , in my opinion this is speeding up the process alot. The other thing I like is having one of the groundman watching for the tip of the saw, so you are way more accurate when notching ( I like to notch...

    Where to put your lanyard when negative rigging?

    If that happen your groudman is not doing his job. When I'm on the ground for an other climber I always look at what he does , because error can happen when you are tired. Team work

    Little too big of a pick

    This have happen in France, and from what I've heard the guy is a strong contract climber. He had a really long day , he wanted to notch the whole thing but the boss said do a last piece.

    SRT is an amazing thing that for sure! But I've seen to many climber on jobs or during meeting having 1500$ of different SRT tree gear related stuff, but they don't know the difference bettween beeing tie around the sterm or a branch! Wich is the freaking basic of tree climbing. Or they got this...

    Canopy Anchors and the Texas Tug

    When I used this technique I pull my climbing line with a pull line 8mm , so in a small bag I have the hclimber and 80 foot of 8mm rope on my saddle. I set up the hclimber on the climbing line so I feed like 4 to 6 foot of line threw it and then connect the pull line and drop the bag to the...

    Canopy Anchors and the Texas Tug

    I don't use delta link anymore because I've dammage the bark on the tree at several occasions. And I had problem with the pinto binner set up chocked on the spar. So the texas tug method is what I use sometime during pruning climb. But I do it with a DMM hitch climber instead. And like...

    Old Sugar

They where eating all around the branch , wich make impossible for the tree to circulate the water and nutriements. I've...

    ASH are going down.

    I've been climbing on the runner for 8 months , this is my second pulley on it, and I think I should replace the bollard too. This is the best purchase I've made in arboriculture , along with the GRCS.

    ASH are going down.

    Short clip from yesterday, nothing crazy , the best part of the video did'nt work because we forgot to put the camera on. We where removing a three sections ash near a house. At the end we see the set up of a double block on the GRCS, that give a lot of leverage. Thanks for watching.
