This list encompasses what my client is referring to as "Boot Camp". This training evolution is only intended to last two weeks. When I copied and pasted the list I missed two items, fueling equipment, and doing a vehicle inspections. Chipper operations are covered, but actually using a chainsaw...
I am a contract climber and trainer. I have recently been working with a company developing there new hire training program. So to answer the original question about training videos, I am not aware of any that would really do a comprehensive job, so what I do is use videos as visual aids and...
The boots are have only been worn two days on a felling job. I developed some hotspots and decided that they just did not fit my feet very well; a little too narrow in the toe box. I am looking to get $175.00 for them but I am willing to entertain offers. They are just sitting here collecting...
I worked for a company that owned a CMC 83hd for about 2 years. I ran the machine maybe once a week during that period of time. That being said, it was only serviceable, on average, 3 days a week during my tenure there. I have never operated another brand or model from and cannot speak...
I had a similar problem with my husky battery saw. In the end the culprit was a slightly splayed bar nose. When I say slight I mean almost imperceptible; maybe 1/16th of an inch. As soon as I put on a new bar the problem was resolved. I kept using the old chain, which had been sharpened many...
I am not sure about the 450 but I know Kelderman makes a full on replacement air bag suspension for the 250 and 350, which eliminates the springs and works like a big rig suspension. I have been thinking about putting it on my rig.
Most of you guys don't know me as I don't often comment or post. I enjoy learning from all the veteran tree climbers on this forum and I highly value many of your opinions. I started lurking around here when I was unable to advance to the next level with my employer and by doing so I learned a...
So, my set up is a little bit different than the ones that have already been posted. Where evo's transporter is on his saddle is where I have a large caritool. Say what you want about them, but I have had the same 3 on my saddle (2 small and 1 large) for the last five years. Anyway, I use one of...
The company that I got started with in Richmond would advertise that there was a CA on every crew. In reality there were usually more. They set themselves apart by selling that aspect of their business and it paid big dividends. It reassures the general public when you tell them that you are a...
I am looking for a form to be completed in conjunction with the ANSI mandated job briefing that is supposed to take place before each job starts. I have seen examples of these forms before in conferences and the like; they usually include a hazard assessment of the job site.
Hey everyone! I have been looking around trying to find a job site brief/hazard assessment form for a while, but haven't really come up with anything that fits yet. I was hoping some of you would be willing to share what you are using or point me in the right direction. Thanks for the help.
Yeah. It is usually in a situation where I have to cut below my waste on a branch that is parallel to one I'm standing on and maybe just out of reach.
