    will a chainsaw cut through a steel core lanyard?

    It will only get used when I'm on spar with treesqueeze & ZZ anyway.

    will a chainsaw cut through a steel core lanyard?

    Wow. Thanks for sharing the vid. That old steel core that I bought in 2018 and immediately put in the bottom of the toolbox might be coming back out.

    Tree cut weight formula?

    I think we will see torsion sensors get added at every knuckle before too long, but they will only inform you of what you've already cut. Only a proven experienced operator will be able to judge a cut before the cut. Cheers

    Tree cut weight formula?

    Do you guys know, is there any research available on how the angular torque of a given leaning branch affects these trucks, the weight capacities, and the structural integrity? Unlike a crane, these machines are dealing with more than the KiloNewton gravitational load straight down. Given a...

    Inventory Arborist

    like a silviculturist but in an urban setting? Change of pace, for sure. Depending on your mojo, that could be a good thing. Sounds like a lot of working in spreadsheets, even if just the old pen & paper kind. But I have no experience.

    ISA Certification & "professional" services?

    Yeah, the reverse as you say could also be a strong argument in court, I see that too. I guess it's always left up to the tree owner, if they choose to bring their case forward as a plaintiff, and you as the defendant are left to defend your actions as appropriate (assuming they were). I like...

    ISA Certification & "professional" services?

    Yep, makes sense.

    ISA Certification & "professional" services?

    Of course. But, brings up an additional point of why do professional licenses exist. Maybe for the following scenario when you're the head of a large engineering firm: Yeah, my company has a license to do business in this state (dept of commerce), but individual licenses are for the employees...

    ISA Certification & "professional" services?

    I suppose what I wanted to glean in this discussion is the relationship between the ISA Code of Ethics (link) and an ISA Certified Arborist's exposure to those code of ethics during a civil court case. Thought being: if you weren't ISA Certified - the prosecutor would have to argue your supposed...

    ISA Certification & "professional" services?

    I wonder about the definition of a professional though, really. Many insurance companies, regulatory bodies, and by extension a hypothetical argument in court, would define a professional as someone who is licensed in that line of work and must regularly maintain the license with CEUs. But what...

    ISA Certification & "professional" services?

    Here's a question open for discussion: When you are providing services as an ISA Certified Arborist, are you providing Professional Services? I would guess not, since there is no personal license requirement at the State level. However, as a Certified Arborist you would presumably be providing...

    So.. Free Climbing?

    In general, I couldn't agree more about critical thinking - and btw we're not talking about a general situation here we're talking about climbing without fall protection. For real I would have never fathomed there would be this much "support" for a professional climbing system that would do...

    So.. Free Climbing?

    Right on bro. So Z133, OSHA, and all the insurance companies in the world that have invested copious amounts of money researching the subject are all idiots then. I think it was mentioned here earlier - was it 12 feet? Above 12 feet and almost everyone agrees hand holding is not acceptable fall...
