I feel that leaving a "Strap" to control theTree is Flawed. Firstly the amount of "Strap" that is to remain is entirely guessed,that "Strap" is in effect lengthening the Hazard.Or if there is a large Knot on the top of the Tree you may not have any "Strap" at all. In a situation as depicted in your Video,I would have cut down from the Top untill the cut began to pinch and then up feeling with the Nose of the Bar.

It will depend on your aspirations within the industry. Some Arb roles gender dosn't matter any,some it does. With regard to work climbing,most Woman find it more difficult physically than men.Its not easy for anyone,especially when you are new to it. My girlfreind is a Climber for a Local Authority and does a good job within the production expectations of her workplace.However I would not find her capacity as a Climber acceptable in the same role in my Company. Starting as a groundy,even on a limited basis will give you the world of insight into this industry.Also you will see Climbing in a production situation so you will know what will be expected of you.I beleive it takes about five years of climbing every day to call yourself experianced.Adding those five years onto your age now may also colour your decision. At the end of the day,"nothing ventured,nothing gained".

Depends on what type of "Arboricultural Jobs" you are talking about and at what level you want to take skills to.

Chainsaw Proof Ropes would be a Big seller if they had the same handling qualities as normal ropes.

All the best mate!Thanks for the advice on enjoying your life,everyone knows how easy it is to get swept up in business and stressed out. Your post has inspired me to get a new hobby,I was dismissing it due to thinking I would not have the time for it.I am now going to make the time.

I wonder if the Steel Shroud around the Winch Drum can be used as a Friction device for Snatching Chunks?Be good thinking if it was.

Welcome to the Site! That didn't look very advanced to me,how were the guys taking down Trees in the past?

When the Weather turned Cold in Alaska,we used to send a guy down to the Saw Shop Looking for Chainsaw Anti Freeze.

I suppose like finding anything,you either hunt it or stumble across it. Find the people in the Company that are responsible for tendering the work that you want to do,make a presentation of your Company,Qualifications,perhaps pictures of Equipment and past jobs and post it off to them.Or request a meeting. The Commercial work that we get came as a result of working privatly for Employees of a Local Council.That was the "Stumbling across it" way of getting work.
