TBH we have had em a couple of months and lads rarely take em out. I am really supprised i expected can we have another set or 2 got a lbit of trouble from my boss when he saw the bill but they are worth every penny just hope they last 3 days after we got them had to do a full day of stop go boards and they could not see each other but no issues all day and lads were not bored Like washer women chatted all day Several other jobs they have been invaluable BUT a lot of money. I actually think using them where needed is probably better than just all the time Also very good for new guys

a days graft is still a days graft most climbers are not worth what they think they are I pay any staff the same unless we are using their pickup to move stuff A days work is a days work And as you should have 2 competent climbers on site make all this tosh The only persons I pay less is the wife and my son:thumbup:

if you use conventional tree equipment you should be ok though Anchor point selection may be an issue I did my level 1 more to see what it could bring to my tree climbing Did not use it for rope access work but did enjoy and learn loads

Just wondered are there any female arborist out there ?
bob replied to sasha.p's topic in General chat
i have met and assessed several female tree girls approx 10 TBH they have always been good not sure if they had a bit more to prove but they gave it their all Attention to detail was always better than the guys though i reckon i tell if it,s a woman starting a saw from 100 yrds not sure why they are just different. I still put it down to effort exerted -
If LA get involved and it gets done under miscellaneous prov act it gets out of hand and any hours sorting and trying to get owners to do work and any contractors costs ect will all be passed onto the tree owner. which gets silly with all legals and time it takes If the owner then does not pay it gets attached to the property as a land charge so then it cant be sold till all paid in full which makes for a more awkward and expensive sale Not an ideal way tbh but can sort it have heard of a few been well over 10K:blushing:

supprising different countries different trees and different topography inc different machines ect will make a difference I have just been watching series 2 working climber a big 3 disk 6.5hr american dvd series done by a guy with 47yrs exp some we do some i liked a Fair bit i had issues with I have been doing trees now 23yrs and can see where folk like dadio is coming from I have done many a fell cut and climb ect that i am glad no one saw or videod. I am also thoughfull when posting that anyone of any standard and knowledge and experience can read and copy or believe good practice. even my mum could read it:confused1: which is what i believe the critisism comes from I would really like to go over and meet folk like dadio and understand more of their thoughts and reasoning or even some of them come over here:blushing:
