Fitness Standards For Industries

I'm only a groundie but I can lift both my chins with one hand.

 

Hahahahahahahaha

I struggle with the idea of taking the physical fitness aspect out of the proper tree pruning equation, or at least minimizing it drastically.

 

The future of mechanizing this biz beyond recognition won't take much longer IMO.

 

Whether you weigh 150 or 350 lbs won't matter, the umbilical crane trucks will enable any harvey homeowner to rent one and prune their own trees exactly how they like em!

 

Hell even granny'll be up there, floatin like a butterfly n stingin like a bee!

Too late its already here,have you seen the

rope wraptor ?

Its a 2 stroke engine thats clips on to your harness( or saddle if you prefer )and rope then pulls you up the tree.

The internet,youtube and facebook are full of video's made by homeowners doin tree work-badly!!!

It'll be interesting to see in the future what motorised ascenders/descenders are invented.

 

Surely it shouldn't be that hard technically?

[jomoco]

Wraptor's are a bulky one way elevator up, blowing two stroke fumes all the way up for your smoking enjoyment.

 

Then they must be lowered back to the ground carefully like a wee expensive child, coddled n protected.

 

Like I intimated, buttons, toggle switches, overhead umbilical crane trucks, remotely controlled by the operator hanging from it.

 

It won't be long.

Yeah?

Yeah!

 

Have access?

No problemo!

Funny how so much of an arborist's income is the result of poor landscape design and planting, in urban areas particularly, and residences generally.

 

They want a lush n green look ASAP, to heck with long term maintenance consequences.

 

And here I'm plumply perched like Beacky the Buzzard, uh yep, uh yep, uh huh!

Any particular reason why that beaky buzzard things got a really bad Italian accent ?

Obviously made in a time before stereotyping or political correctness was a concideration

[jomoco]

His brothers were all ace mob hit men, fit as fiddles!

 

But like me, poor Beaky was more or less a has been hit man, content to bring home baby bumble bees to stir into the family pot.

But life's rough on the water front.

Some film, one of the best.

Apologies for the derail.

This tread started off about stretchers. Just saw this

 

Slix Stretcher Kits

 

By ISC, in Wales. A flexable pasitic "spinal Board" that you can drag across the ground. Looks like something that might actually have some useful application, in that one could load it up with kit and drag it through the woods, giving it a secondary role as a stretcher if need arises.
