At a chapter event last year a greenie pointed out someone wagging a chainsaw around one handed from in a bucket truck.

Let's quote someone from Treebuzz here. "Do as I say, not as I do", or let's quote another one (probably not from the Buzz and I can't say it in the right way) but it has something to do with a stone, casting and a sin (or chainsaw).

But anyhow, back to the thread.

Congrats Mark, great job well done.
 
The times, they are a changing.....

When I first got involved with the southern chapter tcc, there was a head judge of work climb who refused to put eye protection on because he didn't have "clears", and it wasnt bright enough for his shades.

I was incensed, but the next year when I became the chair and had to tell the guy he was not going to be a head judge again, I had my revenge. I wasn't actually trying to be vindictive, just wanted to show that I was serious about safety and setting the example.

I often hesitate to say anything at an event when I see a violation that's not in my work station but I KNOW I need to be courageous and tactful and say something.

I did say something.
I took the individual over to the side and told them of the safety violation. They didn't correct it.

The 'work positioning' harness issue was a blatant violation with a person representing the sponsoring corporation right there witnessing the entire thing. Still nothing was said. Makes you wonder, did that person even know it is an ANSI Z violation?

It's probably a bad ruling to begin with!

When I do bucket work I wear a climbing harness and am tied in with enough climbing rope/vt hitch to get to the ground. Hanging by your back is only going to save a person sometimes.....getting to the ground fast is equally or more important. I let very little slack develop in my tie in system and of course it is easily adjustable. It also makes for a quick leap into the tree. I do not suggest such a system for non climbers.

So, you don't follow the ANSI Z either. That's not what I'm concerned about.

The point is, the ITCC is a part of the ISA, and the ISA is the secretariat of the ANSI Z133.1-2006. The ISA puts in writing regulations arborists should follow.

Gotta give props to the "real deal" for a local winning an individual event.(throw line) If I'm correct, thats a first for KY chapter. Every one's efforts in sharing, for those that didn't attend, is appreciated.

Duhh! Cause it's a privite club that demands alot of money to belong too. They are not going to ban one of the paying members/ customers, damn did I say customers? OO yea I did! They are selling you a product ya dumb arse. You that buy into it, get what you get, a paper that's about as important as TP in a truck on a bad day. Might mean something to someone someday.

Anyway congrats Mark, still like to put that to a real work take down test someday though?

Hi gang. Awesome to read the play by play here! That is a great way to use this forum to allow eveyone who was unable to make it there in person feel as though they were. And you all heard the results seconds after we did. Very cool. Thanks Bull and to "Deepthroat" too

.

A very sincere thank you for the comments and well wishes towards me and my performance. The support was the difference for me to be in the right place mentally so that I could perform well. I owe too many people thanks for that! My family is the biggest part of course, but my friends here on the Buzz and everywhere in the biz have been great!

I also want to thank all of the judges, techs, scorers, and volunteers for putting in all of the long, hard days to make this event possible even with the adversity.

A huge thanks to STIHL and New England Ropes for their support and to all of the sponsors of the events! We could not be there without them.

I need to also thank every person I have ever competed against in the last 21 years since I started competing because I truly have learned and benefitted from all of you. And a big THANKS to the ISA for hosting these events to help us get together, build relationships, share knowledge, and make the public aware of the need for proper tree care period! Thanks!!

I've been pointing at the autographed MC poster (hanging above the cash register) for the past two days telling everyone that's the 3-time world champ.

I might have to put it on ebay at some point and cash it in.

Mark deserves his moment , and for a guy who never ever had the nads to compete wants to make a real take down test . Fkn haters . Give it up for a climber who has always made the Masters since it was started . The difference between real work and TCC 's is balls to put your sh*t to a timer and some judges . I've seen your kind , junk . Mark C , is a stand up climber/person , I can't say that about alot of people . Mark is the champ and Holly is the Chump ! Crown this Chump ! empty beer can and a cashed check !
