    Has any one had a trusted worker, operate the lift from the base, inbetween the arborist making cuts?

    An example of why all post on a thread should be readable on one page. To consolidate threads, by not having duplication of ideas, etc.

    Has any one had a trusted worker, operate the lift from the base, inbetween the arborist making cuts?

    Yes, you're right, no example can be given. Though the concerted interactions of individuals can be quite impressive, and if fully tested in a non risky situation, why not, employ it in a semi-risky situation, to be more effective, which could actually lower, inextricable risks of other...

    Has any one had a trusted worker, operate the lift from the base, inbetween the arborist making cuts?

    Oh, yes, sorry, I didn't read it correctly. I'll delete my reply to this, and my initial reply. And, read up on "one-handing chainsaw use." I only responded, in a laughing emoji, to: "Please...show me an example of a musician dieing from hitting a clinker note" It was in good humor, I was not...

    I don't understand what is being said here, or "one-handing chainsaws"? Sorry.

    I'm not dismissing comments that disagree with my opinion. I challenge them, as we all should challenge each others comments/ideas,etc; that's how we come to understanding of good practices and ideas. If you all already typed it then I would never not read it, or dismiss it.

    It's not as risky as you're thinking. We were working in concert, and it did save time, and repositioning. The replies here seem to discourage concerted engagement via two part operations that save time and fatigue.

    Has any one had a trusted worker, operate the lift from the base, inbetween the arborist making cuts?

    Yes, there is significant depth perception loss beyond 50ft, but was not enough to hinder his preciseness, he was using the ultra slow movement when there was need to be extra careful. At this particular tree dismantle, the obstacles were minimal. Also, I would give hand signals, to further his...

    Has any one had a trusted worker, operate the lift from the base, inbetween the arborist making cuts?

    Lol, maybe I'm impaired, but it seems if the one cutting, has to turn around, holster their saw, then wait the half second for the communication from the physical input, to go to electrical, then back to physical hydraulic movement; it'd be faster to have someone starting to move the lift before...

    Has any one had a trusted worker, operate the lift from the base, inbetween the arborist making cuts?

    Well, we were using a full electric lift, battery powered. And, I noticed the lift would respond slightly faster to operator input, from the base than the basket controls. Also, he was anticipating my my moves, or atleast been able to have the basket start to move just after I cut, or have just...

    Has any one had a trusted worker, operate the lift from the base, inbetween the arborist making cuts?

    I had my trusted worker operate the lift, I was cutting from: to save time of me having to move it to each location, for each cut? What are the arborists thoughts? I'm just wondering if anyone here has done this? It did make things faster and more smooth, with less fatigue for the arborists. I...

    Do you think I can reach this with a 50ft Nifty Tow Behind?

    Oh, I see. Yes, I agree, it is a matter of consciously "turning it off" and intellectually knowing when it's warranted. Do you have a close connection with one or both of your parents? If so, it'd certainly help to talk with them on this matter.

    Do you think I can reach this with a 50ft Nifty Tow Behind?

    I think I know what you're feeling/dealing with: before you had less anxiety, you seem to have lost your nerve; things seemed to go smoother, even though looking back they seem complex and difficult. I felt that way, for me, some of it was that before, I would let myself think more about what...

    There's something about the music and vocal performance, that is really touching.

    How did you go about learning to limb walk?

    Walked out on a limb... ...until the use of swing throwing mah long lanyard, out to the nearest branch off, then catching the snap lock, to attach it to one of the opposite D-rings, seemed the only way to advance, to the supporting fringes of the branch. But, yes, seriously, using a 15ft...

    Question for those of you who hire contract climbers or who do contract climbing

    My "tree service" insurance covers for 2mil in loss, for me and any one worker. If you and this CC don't want to have to deal with WC, just modify your insurance to allow him to be covered. Or, if he has an independent business entity, and his own insurance, he will qualify as being a CC, by...

    Songs of Perfection

    Why do you say Geddy Lee is a douche bag? From what I've heard about him he seems to have integrity, and seems humble for a "famous" musician.

    Songs of Perfection

    One of the few "Hip-Hop" songs I like. It actually has quite meaningful lyrics.

Not wanting to simply pull the broken tree off the maple, causing damage to other trees. It was pull from a high point on two other far away trees, cut in pieces...

    When did you first hear?

    I first heard about SRT two years ago, from my brother. I first climbed using it this last November, only used it twice. Once to quickly ascend back up to an oak I was pruning. Then that same day, later, I used SRT to ascend up on a rope to be used as a winch line, that was put up in a white...

    Reading is NOT research

    From the description on Amazon, this book would seems to discredit unpopular ideas/"truths", and sounds intent to re-aline ideology more parallel with the establishment. You were weren't agreeing with the book's ideology, just simply stating other might find this book interesting?
