Hey All,
Been drafted to fill in at a Certified Arborists Review Class in a couple weeks. No problem handling the subjects but I have no power point to work off.
Anyone have a slide show for Tree Selection?
A bonus would be Tree ID as well.
Thanks in Advance!
Just wondering how y'all deal with the cotter pin on the hook latch.
We keep it installed during operations and only remove it to install the slings. Several questions are on my mind:
Do we have to secure the latch at all times, or can we leave the cotter off?
What other type pins are you...
Doing some preliminary investigation here. Anyone see this before on Basswood? Any suggestions as what suspects to examine? Client says it is sudden onset, not seen before this year.
I've been retained to write a report regarding a very large tree that has lost better than 60% of its root flare and is threatening two dwellings. This report will be submitted to the tree owner and my clients to establish "notification" of the problem as well as document the conditions of the...
We are thinking of going with a setup like this for our crane TIP. Can we get a critique? If you see something that might not cut the mustard I definitely want to know, but I'd also like to know why it won't.
The set up is on a small crane (2-ton) set up primarily for work positioning on...
Hi Again!
Similar to my question regarding saddles, our aspiring female climber will be needing some climbing pants.
What pants, in your experience, tend to fit the best?
Thanks!
Hey All,
One of the women on our ground crew is up for climbing and we've tried several saddles (Cougar, Sequoia & Navaho) but they all seem to ride very high up on her waist. I think this has a bit to do with the sizes we have, but also a lot to do with her hip to waist ratio. As you can...

Because we work with a lot of students we're looking at how we might go about classifying climbers. Perhaps something like trainee, beginner, intermediate and qualified. Of course the question becomes how do we define those and what metrics/measurements/checklists might we use to sort it all...
Looking to get my hands on some current tree care academy workbooks. I don't need/want the tests so it doesn't count as a premium towards the price. That said, if they come with the tests that would be cool.
These are the ones I am looking for:

Been looking at the ropetek system but haven't been able to hold one in my hands.
How is the microphone boom mounted onto the helmet? Can anyone share some pictures of that and how the wiring is routed?
Even better, can someone share the installation instructions?
Also, does having the...
Reading Gubmint standards has my eyes glazed and no closer to answers than I'd hoped. Any help shedding light on this will be be greatly appreciated.
First, I need to make sure I understand what OSHA considers a sling. I'm focusing Single Leg Slings made of braided polyester rope.
As I read...
I have a couple of Klein cable grips for installing static cables. We've not used this in quite some time and want to move them outta here.
Asking $55 each shipped anywhere USPS Delivers.
This one has some old marking paint on the back of it.
This one is pretty clean.
PM me if interested!
Bought a case of these a few years ago to have some spares on hand when the issued ones wore out. Thing is, the issued ones are still going strong and I see no need to keep these anymore.
These are not the cheapies you see in Dick's or Gander Mountain. It is my understanding that these are...
