Birch tree removal (not exciting)

Tune!

Ive been climbing just over a year now so far no accidents or damage touch wood. ive done a number of bigger dismantles, was aloud to do that early on for a few companies i like to be level headed safe and with no ego, which why i think people trust me ( i just get on with it, just slower than others until im comfortable).

 

I have spikes just didn't put them on which for me is odd on a dismantle in fact and oddly i love pole work on spikes with a bigger saws Maybe im a sadist or geckos are the nuts.

 

I have spent alot of time forest climbing which has taught me a few different techniques like the cut log grappling hook which can be really useful especially on steep poles in the rain.

 

Cant and wont disagree about the top cuts being sloppy, which is why i like the camera as you can kick yourself later when watching back the video and hopefully not repeat Piss poor performance. i think what happened was it being a simple tree i basically was being lazy (im big enough to admit the truth).

 

I hope i haven't sounded like im trying to suggest im the mutts nuts im most certainly not.

 

I would have been doing pretty much the same as you when I had a year or so experience. Best thing I ever did was to go self employed (after a few years working for a local company) and work with different companies and climbers. You learn so much, I'm confident to sell my self as a lead climber now rather than second climber.

 

Just never forget your roots and those who gave you a chance. I'm still very very good friends with my previous employers, as without them I wouldn't be where I am now.

i feel 14" bars are a bit unwieldy nice on take downs.
