Tips for a good ground worker

[Kenty]

Another tip is to manage the climbers rope so as it does not get snagged or when lowering it is well out of the way.

Don't take smack, smoke dope or get caught urinating by the client.

Anything else is a bonus

thou shall not be an aggressive f*ckwit when in the tree

 

trees do seem to be able to bring the worst out in some people I'm sure of it

Was working with a great crew late last week. Area below the tree was always clean, rope came back with some urgency and lowering was smooth. I think what helped was that the groundsman on the rope has extensive experience up the tree on the other end if it.

 

Another tip of mine would be once it comes to blocking down the wood, moving the logs out of the drop zone so that the next log won't bounce off it.

 

A couple of things as a climber I try to do to help out the ground crew is to make cuts at the fork so they won't need to be cut again to go through the chipper.

 

Also when cutting and throwing smaller limbs, facing the butts towards the chipper so those on the ground don't have to turn them

around when they go to drag them

out.

It's not the tree that brings out the worst. Those people are bad to begin with.

Buy a set of arborcomes and your groundies do whatever you ask them to

Simple as

They are the best thing going for a smooth and hassle free day where you can talk and they will finally understand what you want and why

It's not the lads on the floor fault that no one spends the time explaining and training them you climbers just think your better than them and feel it's ok to abuse and slag em off
