    Re-hosing a boom truck

    what do you mean by wraps? Are you talkin about the chafe sleeves at the knuckles that wraps the hoses? When the truck blew its hose it was stuck full reach over a house. I had to bring in our other bucket truck , set it up and follow the boom of the broken truck pulling hose all the way to the...

    Re-hosing a boom truck

    So my boss wants me to take on the job of installing new hoses on one of our bucket trucks. From the bucket controls to turret at least, the old ones are starting to blister and one has already exploded all over a clients driveway. I feel like I could take on the task but my question is, do you...

    Treevet's big bald faced hornet adventure

    Been hit by bees , yellow jackets and European wasps. Nothing compared to bald face hornets. Got stung by what I first thought was a fly, then another one and again. That must have been the warning bumps tree vet was talking about because the next two hits were like a red hot pin going into my...

    Electricity

    Plenty of room is a figure of speech. In Australia anyway. I'm not certified In Canada but I did ehap and 10ft is our limit to live conductors. I don't know how to ID the voltages here so I stay the maximum distances away. Artietree said that his tree was 10ft from the lines . I gave him a...

    help solving my dutchman with conventional face cut

    I haven't had many problems with Dutchman's for quite a while( due to practice) but it was an issue for a long time , always re notching notches... I started doing some carving and that helped me match my cuts but after seeing that vid from reg. Didn't even think of the angles like that. Thanks...

    help solving my dutchman with conventional face cut

    that's what I think thought too. I think it's even in a mark Chisholm instructional vid I saw on this very site. I could be wrong though

    Electricity

    Im not claiming to be an expert , and I'm not doing line clearance anymore . I agree with mrtree that education is a must working aloft, especially around conductors. Ehap is an excellent intro to the dangers of electricity and should be a bear minimum for every tree worker. From my experience...

    Electricity

    It does seem weird you dont usually get induction from a low voltage unless it is very wet or humid and really close to the wires. high voltage on the other hand can jump a fair distance depending on voltage. I did line pruning in australia and we were allowed to touch low voltage wires with the...

    New Equipment

    Neither had I . It was the only rope I had for a while and it probably led to me hating SRT too, until I got the all gear anyway.

    Chest Harness

    Ive tried everything except a chest harness. A lot of the trees im climbing ill have to prune my path on the way up so having my lanyard over my shoulder was annoying. Neck lanyard was okay but my boss wouldn't let me climb with it. Now i just run a piece of cord from my tether on the hitch...

    HAAS knee ascender patent

    It seems so ridiculous. Its a bungee for Christ sake. I dont have either device but was considering a saka because it seems simple, thats how i like to keep my climbing. I dont need a pulley in the thing to tend a piece of bungee cord or whatever it does. Time to build

    Vines and Tree Health

    Interesting topic. I had a client ask me about english ivy growing up a Douglas for if he should get it removed or not. I didn't really know but i told him it could potentially kill the tree and we should get rid of it eventually as it wasn't too thick around or high up the tree.
