    Do you always wear your helmet?

    I didn't read all the 5 pages before replying... Did anyone suggest wearing these special goggles already? They enable you to look upwards without tilting your head.

    Where to start?

    I found the 3rd edition in a Dutch webshop! As you can see in the picture I had time to read it... while I was waiting in the hospital for my X-ray results after I dropped out of a tree. A week ago I was climbing on spurs (practise day at school). When I was at 5 meters high, I had a...

    Chainsaw and handsaw left/right

    I'm still figuring out what I like best. I like the easy acces of my handsaw when wearing it on my right leg, strapped under the knee. But it's always in the way somehow and it always gets tangled up with my line. I wear my lanyard on my right. I started climbing wearing the chainsaw on my...

    Clients say the darnest things…(or funny sayings on the job)

    Every now and then a passerby who has been watching from a distance is apparently surprised when they come closer: "You are... a girl?! A little while ago I was trimming some Carpinus betulus fastigiata using an electrical trimmer on a telescope pole. A man watch me and the crew work, then...

    I don't have my own copy of the book yet. Searching online I only found webshops outside the EU and the shipping costs are high. Is there a seller within the EU? Or is there another way to get the book for a more affordable shippingprice?

    Where to start?

    I started reading 'Tree climbers companion'. @levi r I'm so grateful for that tip! Reading the information and processing it in my own pace, without having to practice it immediately, really helps a great deal. Apparently it's key for how I learn. Also reading it all, to have a theoretical...

    @rico Thanks for calling me a young grashopper . @Stumpsprouts Thanks for mentioning learning style. Learning my doing is not my style indeed. The whole learning course to become a Tree Worker in the Netherlands is based on practical learning, I'm having a hard time with that. I'm a top-down...

    Where to start?

    As mentioned in my introduction I started working as a TreeWorker about 1,5 years ago. Soon after that I started climbing too. For me, it's the best part of the job. l made it my goal to be able to do most of my work climbing (meaning climbing several trees a day for 3 or 4 days a week). Last...

    How many of y'all are on the pot

    Interesting thread. It has happened many times that I started my day feeling normal only to feel like I've catched a cold (running nose and so) whitin an hour after starting work. Not every day though. I still don't know what causes it, but maybe the use of a Neti pot can help me get rid of it...

    Introducing myself

    Hi, my name is Suuz and I'm new to this forum. My love for this work originated in my love for being outside and my love for working with (hand)tools. I started working as an arborist 1,5 years ago, having no experience at all. I've learned a lot and there still is a lot to learn. I found...
