    TCIA/Husqvarna Arborist apprenticeship?

    When you say the template, did he officially go through as an apprentice or you used the curriculum but didn't "make it official"?

    TCIA/Husqvarna Arborist apprenticeship?

    Anybody do the Apprenticeship program through TCIA - either as an employee or employer? (I'm interested from the employer side...bringing somebody on and having a well-planned/intentional program to get them up to speed)...

    Ansi Z... question.....

    You can buy a digital copy through ISA: https://wwv.isa-arbor.com/store/product/4375/ only $11 for members...but it will be outdated in the near future. It looks like the Ohio Forestry Association has posted it as a pdf...not sure that is "entirely appropriate" for the 2017 version as it is a...

    Cold and snowy climbing/ working

    Woods work is the best winter work, IMHO. (so says the flat-lander) I had a couple contracts the last 2 winters to do some invasive species work. As tedious as that can be, I enjoyed a cold winter day cut, squirt, repeat. Very little equipment to mess with (sometimes it does get cold enough...

    Cold and snowy climbing/ working

    Snotsickles are a given on cold days. My sleeve or the back of my glove look pretty disgusting after a long day!

    Had to laugh when I opened Buzz and sorted for new messages...I think I found the answer to the OP question LOL

    Cold and snowy climbing/ working

    I haven't seen anyone mention yet: I put a bug tarp down and try to keep the climbing rope on that (and ground help knows to move rope to the tarp. Plan to hang ropes to dry...if an unheated shop, probably have extra ropes so you can leave them in the shop a full day to fully dry. If you are...

    ISA Webpage

    That is on the local chapters to communicate. There is a local certification representative that approves the hours and reports them to ISA. That is in the contract each component has with ISA to operate under their umbrella. When Ohio Chapter hosts any events, it says in the program whether...

    ISA Webpage

    Right....that's my problem with it. I'd like to have an ongoing record of continuing education. I was good having that record in ISA site as it's been for 20 years. Now it's all gone. Wish I would have known before so I could download the record. AND, it stops counting at 30 (for a CA)...

    T-shirt quilt

    My sister in law had them made for her kids when they graduated high school (probably 10-12 years ago). My wife has been keeping t-shirts for the kids since they were toddlers planning to do the same. They both said "no thanks". I personally wouldn't want one because if I did, I'd want it to...

    Prescription Pruning Qualification PPQ

    Absolutely! That was another reason I didn't go to the actual PPQ class in Ohio earlier this year, Gilman wasn't the instructor this time. I will also note, for anybody in the region, Ed Gilman will be the keynote speaker at the Ohio Tree Conference this coming February 3-4. Come join us...

    Prescription Pruning Qualification PPQ

    I kinda did it last year. Ed Gilman came up and taught a 2 day class that was mostly the curriculum, but more field work. Then this year the whole class and qualification was offered. I could not take the extra time for that - especially because I was scheduled to teach a planting class that...

    Los Angeles area fatality

    A horrible way to go,.and really bad for those around to have to witness. Having said that...it says 35' fall. That's a high probability of fatality with or without a fence. Safety caps are still a good idea!

    Echo dcs 3500t

    Have you had problems with Makita batteries taking charge? I've had 2 now that quit taking a charge, well before expected battery life. I don't know how many hours were on them, but fewer than other batteries. Sometimes they won't connect to the charger correctly. I've also replaced the...

    Look at the line launcher I found on Amazon

    That's my hesitancy in buying things like this...patent infringement. I'm guessing (with little actual basis in legal knowledge, so maybe I'm way off) that these factories know A) it is difficult to bring suit across international borders B) the value (to the original owner) of the product they...

    Where do you start training a new climber?

    I was asking about this part: "The City I work for requires testing before one can start a tree care company and obtain their business license. There is a field demonstration portion that includes 6 basic knots." Does a tree service company who doesn't do overhead work require the same field...

    End of year purchase

    Apparently nobody wants to give me a Black Friday discount on the Reflex. I was ready to be an "early adopter" if I could save $60 or more. Guess I'll wait.
