I like to have mine just shy of having my friction device too far to reach. As long as at full uncomfortableness I can reach the release point, I'm happy.
I hear you. I do training when specific people ask and you're totally correct. I guess I was just saying in terms of how I've been training people. I spend the first 8 hours just on set up, inspection, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Then we move on to the job site and operating the boom...
I would be willing to chat about it. Not 100% certain I could meet your timeline. Honestly I'm not at all familiar with BIK trucks. I've never operated one and have no idea the specifics on inspection and maintenance. I think you'd be better served by someone who knows those trucks. I'm...
yep since the attention span is pretty strained at the 59 second time limit on the gram. Anything over that and the general user glitches out. I prefer your long form stuff myself.
I agree with bringing in a mentor for a few days. I've done that with a few companies and it was pretty well received. Joe Rainwater runs a solid training company. He's on the instagram with Rise Innovations.

Talked to some folks today. Still no word on what they're gonna do or what the upgrade pricing means. I'm feeling like this won;t work out well for ISC. They are taking a beating over this. IMHO as they should. This approach isn't ok to me but thats just my opinion and doesn't really amount...
Copy. I'll visit there as soon as I have a few minutes and a not busy brain. LOL. Being that be pole are throwing prefeeds and using systems like the Twinline, I get where your device is applicable. My struggle has always been how to set up the system and not make it the last climb of the day...
That was great. What I wonder is if somebody tries to argue "what defines the adequate curve". Somebody will argue anything and based on the OP the people running the show are inconsistent with their understanding of whats correct. Barts explanation of the standard is pretty likely the case...
