Starting arb set up

So, going by the book the first thing you need is someone equipped and trained for rescue so all kit is x2 as is training

 

I think your £750 is hopelessly optimistic, a top handles saw is going to kick the ass out of that before you have spent a couple of hundred for a couple of harnesses, ropes are going to be a onner each, several biners at a minimum of a tenner each and the list goes on

I'd use whatever the smallest ground saw you have is for climbing.

 

Harness: £150

 

45m rope: £110

 

3m prussik cord: £5

 

2 carabiners: £25

 

Climbing lid: £50

 

S/h spikes: £60

 

Total £400

 

Plenty left over to play with.

 

Cut 5m from your main line for a lanyard. 3m of hitch cord should make 2 prussiks.

Beg your pardon Sir. I forgot how clean you worked.

 

How many days a week do you have a second climber who is competent in rescue with a spare climbing kit, rescue accessories etc?

 

Thought so.

 

Mind you, all rescuing you would involve is four quick steps...

I agree with tree quip on this.

your climbing kits can both be relatively basic, but you'll still need a bigger budget once you account for everything.

 

but to answer your op the only other cost consideration might be the wages while training/being assessed

Note my caveat 'if you want to stay legit'.

 

Here at DILIGAF Tree Services that's not really how we roll....

You're gonna have to explain that one to me...

[Mick Dempsey]

Someone should do one of those polls. How many go out every day with a rescue climber?
