Sketchy job!

From the sound of the first post, the contracting tree company expected the OP to operate under conditions of unnecessary risk. No rescue climber, cars in the way etc.

 

Why take those risks? I reiterate my point- a company that thinks like that would be the first to try to pass the buck to the OP when it all went tits up due to the aforementioned risks- which COULD have been mitigated.

 

I'm a can do man, but I need the right tools or I walk. Never done me any harm.

Cut and chuck is king, when you can.

Plenty of jobs are over rigged for sure.

 

To say that you never or rarely need rigging, however, speaks volumes about the jobs you are doing.

My point is that before you leave the ground you should know if you won't be able to hand hold the branches mate. Doesn't take much to set a rigging point when you're setting your anchor.

 

Seems like we never get the crash it down jobs, so we rig quite a lot of the time. But I've never needed to use my climbing line to do it.

 

Sometimes I do cut a biggish branch, pull it back into the tree, section it and chuck it out in smaller pieces though.

I can't quite see why it's taken you over a week to come up with a reply to which I agree with every point.

 

Have you been at your Mams sherry again?

I wish I could say that I'd been busy with sex, drugs, and rock and roll.

 

Unfortunately they just don't make good rock music any more though.
