is he dodging nails and wire then, and who put the big knots in the rope??
ha, yep he sure is, i wrecked my climber bar up that tree, a lump snatched my saw and bent the bar big style,
the rope isn't a proper pulling rope, just a old climbing rope, you know where i work so no surprise there lol

I do line clerance and private work,
when im working on trees doing line clearance in peoples gardens alot of them refuse to let us work when you tell them you have to have 5m clear, as such alot of the time we end up doing 1year restricted cuts and leaving trees a stupid shape, not because i/we want to but because we have been told to

no chance for me then, i have 30, 31, 38, 39, first aid cherry picker and chipper, but my authorisation is only WIPS

Another utility option is Imrie based in ayr or QTS based beside kilmarnock working nationally
I was working for imries till xmas eve, i dont think there will be any powerline work for them, they lost the scottish power contract, myself and a few others got paid off due to lack of work

I do safety clearance, it good most days like today, a few good big climbs, but on days when it hawthorn or any jaggy related stuff it gets boring fast,
my autherisation is WI PS, it allows me to do anything as long as the person supervising has the proper tickets to do so from ground work to cutting overhangs on live LV's and HV's
