Download the assessment schedule and read it through a few times

Saves having to cram and learn a the time

 

I'm doing this with my CS32

Is that the storm damaged trees one rather than full windblow. One you need 32 for the other you dont.

 

Basically look up look down make loads of room for escape routes

Have a good winch ready.

Take a spade with you and a stiff dust pan brush.

 

Other than that its a fairly easy days training if your doing nice single blown stems. If your walking into a tangled mess with no tractor winch your going to have a very hard but be it realistic training day.

Nope, cleaning the soil off the trunk, saves sharpening

You may have 6' of root plate that has dumped all of its loose soil over the bark and it blunts saws like the chains are free.

 

The spade is digging out where the tree touches the ground. Just makes it easier to get the saw and set up your step cuts.

Yup, reckon that's it, i.e. what used to by NPTC CS50, originally developed for, for instance, LA guys doing 'call-outs' so not anticipated bigger, more complex, trees requiring CS32 skills would be assigned.
