Advice no1: ditch the Prussic loop and buy a lockjack or Spiderjack or hitch limber.

Well done Mortar man!..this is an excellent thread you,ve done. I,ll tell you what i reckon when i look at this...I,ve seen a lot of fresh Arborists make their first tentative steps along a branch to work position..You have recorded yours with three first class pictures:thumbup: i can see that you are at your workstation ,two hands on the saw,two very well thought out Anchor points...AND....Stropped on for good measure.......and your visors down:thumbup1: This tells me you are focused and enthusiastic and i put you in my mind as someone who could become very useful...Good on ya lad,that,s the way to sell yourself. Let people know what you,re about,put your cards on the table...etc. etc.....(Start off with the basics...then move it up a level with Shiny things!)

Why ditch the prussic?plenty of people who still climb on them and can climb as good as any,think while still learning its good to keep it basic!

i like useing the prussic its simple and easy to use, i know people who clime on it still and have done for 20 + years if its good for them it will do me just fine,

 

Thank you all for the comments
