Climb or mewp

[Philip Anderson]

The weight of the climber in a bigtree is like a fly on camels back. Rigging however does stress the tree.

 

If you were in a mewp and the tree does collapse it just means your fall from a mewp instead as the tree drops on the mewp causing even more devastation. Un less you had a massive one that came from the side and top

 

That tree to me looks totes safe to climb and do a little dance in

 

That depends entirely on what sort of mewp you use and most importantly it's outreach and postioning.using a mewp would make it easier to take off smaller sections bit by bit.

In 28 years I've never had a tree collapse on a mewp yet. if he can get the job with the price of the mewp then go for it .

Agree with Mr D, no brainier, I love climbing but if a MEWP can do the job it's my first thought.

In 20 years I've not had a tree I've climbed fail on me and if I can get the price of a MEWP on the job I put it in my pocket as profit

I like that, Grey git... Part exing your spikes in for a posh landy Mount!! Nice one.

 

No no no keeping the spikes and getting a clapt out old rust bucket of a landy mount then training a younger person to where my spikes for me!

That's a sound plan Mr Git. I love clapped out landies, I have two of the buggers. :-)
