New start up advice.

[Ty Korrigan]

Hello there,

I recently completed a 10 week course at Merrist Wood and will return to France shortly to continue working in landscape maintainance.

I'm a little mature (39) for full time tree work but with my new skills I am confident that I can take on many small to medium tree jobs with my 2 collaborators which will greatly add to our turnover.

I already have a basic climbing kit, rope, harness etc but should like to ask the honourable members of this forum before I visit Honey Bros' as to what additional equipment would be usefull/essential.

Thanks in advance

Steel cored short strop,4-6 3way carabinas, tearaway chainsaw cord, first aid kit(eye cleaner,blood stopper bandage etc, antihistomine, cellox for bad bleeds,disinfectant). PPE; c/saw boots, trousers, helmet,gloves. Throw line and bag,silky saw,safety glasses. not a comprehensive list,but a good start. You may want to consider a basic rigging setup,and spikes for take downs.Hope this helps!
