6 anchor points for work positioning

[JOEWOLFE]

I PREFER USING A MEWP FOR TREE WORK, AS MY MISSUS GETS FUNNY ABOUT ME IN A HARNESS, SO WHEN I CLIMB I HAVE 3 45M ROPES ON ME AND I HAVE LOADS OF ANCHOR POINTS (6 FOR ASCENDING AND 8 FOR WORK POSITIONING) AM I BEING A BIT OTT? my apprentice says they teach you to use two, is this just youth filth? or has the boy got a point?

Very OTT IMO. All you need is one main line and a side strop in the majority of trees. Anything extra is a headache keeping it all tidy.

 

Why so much kit? Is it a trust issue? With the tree of the equipment itself?

This must be a wind up?

Don't you wear an harness in the MEWP?

8 is fine for work positioning but you'd need a few more when you start using a saw. Best to double it up to 16 just in case.

You need at least 12 mate. You're living life on the edge with only 6, fair play. Just stay safe.

In an earlier post you were in college, now you have an apprentice?
