    Asking advice; seeking mentorship in the EU

    I quit my job for several reasons, mostly because of the atmosphere/team dynamics and that I didn't find the circumstances I need to be able to grow. Reading your post @Mick Dempsey I feel like I unwillingly might have given the impression that I feel I'm entitelt to get coached or trained for...

    Because it could disturb the wildlife. (In the Netherlands there's hardly any place were nature is uninterrupted/undisturbed. So to give the wildlife some space, it's forbidden to be in the woods after sunset and before sunrise)

    @southsoundtree I sat down to answer your questions. Here they are: My tasks vari, most of the time I'm the groundsperson. So I chip wood, make sure the TreeWorker in theplatform can work continuously (make sure there's no wood on the ground blocking his pad, redirect traffic to make...

    @s I'm in the proces of learning al that. I'm in my second year of training and will take the European TreeWorker exam this summer. I do take the knowledge that I have into the practice of pruning and from what I hear I'm pretty good at that. Investing in more knowledge won't improve my...

    I can understand the uncertainties that come withgiving a 43 year old the time and space to grow into climbing. So Ipractice in my own time (or, I used to. Because I did quit my jobrecently so I don't have any equipment anymore) and I work on mystrenght and durability in the gym every week...

    Looking for the smallest saddle (aproved by EU standards)

    I wear my leg straps a little loose to. But to do so I have to tighten the legloops of the TreeRex almost completely. So legloops that are 5 cm more in diameter are probably way to big. I agree that you have to try a harness to be able to tell if it works for you. Measurements tell only so...

    Looking for the smallest saddle (aproved by EU standards)

    Would it be possible to use different legstraps on a Koala, for instance? Would be amazing if you could customize a saddle so it fits perfectly.

    Looking for the smallest saddle (aproved by EU standards)

    Waist size: TreeRex 68 - 109cm Petzl Sequoia 65-80 cm Courant Koala 60 - 100 cm Thighs size: TreeRex is 50 - 65cm Petzl Sequoia 44 - 59 cm Courant Koala 55 - 85 Koala would be to big around the legs. Petzl might be just small enough around the waist.

    Wow, that's great! Sounds like a saddle that might actually fit.

    I couldn't find a post about this hobby of mine, but I can't imagine I'm the only one here who loves this! Last week I did something I've been wanting to do for a long time... Two years ago I slept outside in the woods for the first time. That was in an organized setting. Later that year I...

    I'm not sure yet. I also don't know what the job of an arborist could look like, other than pruning for local government (meaning pruning from a platform, dozens trees a day) or pruning for private owners (meaning pruning a few different trees a day). I would like to specialize in something I...

    I will answer that question, but before I do I would like to know why my age matters?

    Looking for the smallest saddle (aproved by EU standards)

    In a few months I want to pursue a climbing harness. I used to climb with a Edelrid TreeRex size 1, but I feel it's still slightly to big. Are there harnesses that are smaller than size 1 and that are suitable for the work af an arborist?

    Since I started in arboriculture 1,5 years ago, there is a lot to learn. I was hired as a trainee, but I feel a constant friction between learning on the job and performing the job delivering quality and being cost effective (aka work quickly enough). The last few months I have been thinking of...

    Home birthing hippies

    Such a joy to read these stories here. I'm from the Netherlands and home birth is totally legal here (but less and less common). My first started at home, but ended in hospital, with some complications for me. My second was born at home, were a midwife attended the last 2 hours or so. The...
