Self Rescue

[softbankhawks]

I take it you never,

 

Use an 020 one handed, except when at the very outside edge of the crown, reaching away from your body?

 

Use your saw above shoulder hight?

 

Over load any axle of your truck?

 

Do more than 70mph on the Mway, 60mph when towing?

 

No he doesn't.

It was a bit of a toss-up mate!, I thought about not using a secondary anchor (if its safer without one, i don't use one). Trouble was, it was a hell of a swing into the trunk...and I'm ugly enough already. Its made me think about self-rescue a lot more, I tied in with the end of my line and tied a blakes with the tail of the bowline, it was quick. Alls well that ends well.

I rarely climb with a good guy on the ground ...makes me nervous!..but when i have a guy that i know will be fast and calm when i need rescued then i get more confident.

 

Also..it is far more important to have someone on the ground that i very good at first aid. How many people have bought celox here??

[cerneARB]

The climber i work with has never had a trained rescuer with him until i started working with him..he does feel safer having a rescuer with him complete with celox and a attuitde of 'il get you if your in trouble'.

Look at it from the other angle...imagine being a groundie when the climber has a bad accident and you haven't got the kit or the training to do anything...you just have to stand there and watch him bleed out.....I couldn't live with that for the rest of my life..no way:sad:

With this thread in my mind, I took a picture of our set up on a Beech job today.

This isn't a staged shot ftr.

Although we discuss around a secondary line on every Tree (which is part of our SSRA) we do not always install one.

 

The job was removing two side laterals that have become over exposed due to the Summer Limb drop from my thread yesterday, and are above a gate and pathway.

 

Tree is inundated with shot bracing and cavities, and will be removed later this year.

Yes but how often does it happen....?

 

Life harsh, imagine how those rescuers felt hauling those the suicide couples mangled bodies probably with more than horrific injuries back up from the foot of beachy head cliffs.... that must have been harsh..

thats completely different dean, not really sure what point your making:confused1:

There's an awful lot of tangle at the bottom of that tree to remove two little twigs david

 

Hope the chipper isn't close by, your rooky groundy may inadvertantly feed the chipper with all that rope and pull the tree over

Too hot for chipping today, all the brash got loaded and taken down to London Zoo as Browse for the Mamals.
