Thank you, much appreciate. Concerning my brain, I haven't officially been told I have any cognitive issues. My helmet was on and strapped properly, which definitely made a big difference. I don't remember my fall one bit, which helps not having any ptsd or psychological issues from the...
Hello fellow buzzers! My name is Sam Neterval-Quiel. On 02/22/2021, I took a 50 ft fall while working in a 83hd arbor pro lift machine. Currently from what I understand, it is still being processed and examine to conclude why it failed. My post is meant to describe my experience. I can't fully...
Hey buzz world,
Im transitioning into contract climbing and Im offering my services to other companies in my surrounding area. Here’s a brief summary of what I bring to the table.
6+years experience
Certified Arborist
Tree Removal
Tree Pruning
Cabling & Bracing
Climbing, Rigging, Cutting...
Thank you guys for the quick and informative responses. Sounds like its worth its value. I do work mostly in decurrent canopies so Im leaning towards it being useful, even if its only for certain situations. Thanks buzzers!:)
Hey tree people
Im very close at buying this thing. Really close.
Just have a couple questions before I give up my hard earned $$$.
Is it really that much of a game changer? Or does it collect dust most of the time?
I somewhat understand its function from a watching other people use it...
When I was employed there that harness was not approved. That was about 2 years ago though, things may have changed. If I had to guess I would assume its still not on their approved list of gear.
They do tend to have tighter unions so I would suggest choosing carefully
friction savers, throwballs, & even spliced rope I've seen get stuck in their unions
Good Preclimb inspect too, I've witness some nicely hollowed out ones and some with basal rot
Cool trees though none the less
Have fun!
Hey
Im curious if any small businesses have used/are using some sort of employee
training development plan to layout skills in a practical order? I guess, my objective is to give new personnel something solid to work on as far their next milestone to hone in on fundamental skilzz. Plus giving...
hey im in the same area and noticed the same problem and had a few clients concerned as to why leaves were dropping late spring/early summer. As you probably know, we had a wetter and longer spring then usual, which is a perfect combo for foliar funguses. My guy who is a phc specialist told me...
I have more time using canopy anchors cinched rope on rope so it's probably a comfort thing. Having less things to double check ig is where I stand with it. I do trust steel carabiners in my rigging configurations, no question about it.
Not questioning what works for you n others.
I've def considered it when starting my way down attacking the spar but I've never done it because I'm not fond of running metal clipped to the alpine butterfly for cinched mode. More importantly(for me) if there is a way to get away from fixed lengths for retrieval I'm on board with the least...
With that idea couldn't you find a way to introduce slack between you and the anchor to release pressure from the stem to allow the system to fall down to you. Like a adjustable bridge or even unclipping system and pointing upwards anchor ?
I was envisioning with chiselbits post clipping the karabiner above the bowline bend then attaching the rope under your climb system, decend to next work station, pull bite down, cut repeat. I maybe wrong. if im correct all thats needed is the connector. Tom, why a screwlink instead of karabiner?jw
