new member seeks tree climbing experience

[jackmax]

Hello all,

 

This looks like an exellent site for anything to do with wood and its enjoyment.

 

I have about 5 acres of woodland and have plenty of experience in ground/ladder work but would really like to learn how to use ropes to access some really big trees for felling/thinning/etc. A good way to keep fit and (sorry to you professionals) save myself some money!

 

Anyone with any ideas in the west suusex area. I really dont need a full singing/dancing qualification - do I?

 

Thanks, Phillip

Welcome!

 

It's a bit late for me to go into it.... but I'm sure someone who's less drunk will explain and help you.

"Really big trees" and a novice don't really mix, well not without possibly disastrous consequences.

Hi there I would not recommend you trying to tackle these yoursel you could land up having a nasty accident hurting yourself or others in the process .

 

Learning to climb and cut trees safley requires proper training equipment and certification

 

All the best littletree

Who's wrong, Jackmax or Skyhuck?

 

I'd say Skyhucks right. Just look at the recent Beech tree disaster thread when a pro quoted, a lad in trainers was used then the pro was called back to clear up the mess.

It's not an uncommon scenario.
