Hand signal for tree work.

No, that meant what you thought it meant

 

Classic!

A good groundie knows what you want!

 

I agree with ur answer. every groundie should know,

[Dak]

I'm all for them, hate people shouting on site, especially on domestics!

 

I won't rant!

[felixthelogchopper]

I agree with ur answer. every groundie should know,

 

I think you should give this guy a go on your team

jokes aside.

 

Yeah its good to have a groundie that knows what you need before you do...but thats not always the case. i often have guys who come help out and are not used to the way we work. when it tap my helmet for ' heads up ' they just look at my funny.

 

I think there should be a hand signal at work training given at all colleges as most of the newbies will be working on ground when they start work. we can all get buy tying tools on with granny knot as we can get by with basic hand signals..but would it not be better to use a sheet bend and have hand signals that are universal? if you catch my drift.

Have to agree Martyn1,a usefull tool to have.

[David Goss]

I agree too. Hand signals are useful but the problem is some people have signals for things that mean an entirely different thing to someone else. Teaching a universal sign language for climbers and groundies alike in college sounds like a great idea

The only problem I can see with this is that most groundies don’t go to college.
