Treevolution Dismantling Course

[David Humphries]

Next week we've got Treevolution coming down for four days, to train the team in CS41.

 

This will be a refresher for two of us and training towards assessment for the junior members of the team.

Will be a good course there among the better people to learn from dude.

Richard is an excellent instructor. You wont go wrong with him.

Some instructors can get a bit too wrapped in in highly technical methods and equipment, and lose sight of the fact that you are trying to acquire skills to help you get a job done.

I think you'll find that Richard will be a little more realistic about the practicalities of everyday arb work.

Day One of Four.

 

This morning we covered legislation, PUWER,LOLER etc...and then equipment markings MBS,SWL & Knewtons etc......

This afternoon we covered basic rigging equipment and their associated knots out in the woods.

 

Tommorow we go Arboreal.

 

Im astounded at the things i have forgotten in the 10 or so years since my original rigging course.

I'm just looking at the picture of the cow hitch and wondering how it has been finished. Could you describe the tying process or possibly provide a link with a good diagram?

[Lancstree]

Excellent thanks. Its clear now

[High Scale]

Is it me or does that look like a different cow hitch that is shown in the Tree Climbers Companion?

Cant find my TCC, but I only tie the Cow Hitch with one half hitch and tuck the tail end in behind the rope thats round the tree, its called a Cow Hitch with a better half.

 

That way looks like they tie a clove hitch round the spliced eye or two half hitches in sequence.
