  1. Hi mate, yeah Brazil has an ISA chapter here so I got involved through that. The local tree climbers dont not use modern technique, you would actually be lucky to find anyone with a harness or rope, most councils use travel towers but hopefully climbing (with safety)might catch on.

     

    Yeah Kent sounds good, do you work out that way? I can really only do about max 4 weeks but would be a great chance for me to gain a bit more experience from abroad.

     

    Cheers mate.

  2. About 90% of the trees that I have seen being felled in Brazil (not by me) they will use a down slop angled back cut.

     

    Their theory is that if you use a downward anlgle on the back cut the tree has no chance to fall back the other way.

     

    Crazy right!!!! But then again a lot of things are done different here. To me it seems wrong and have never done it this way.

  3. Hi all, I am new to the web site and am looking for a short term stint of work in the UK in August this year.

     

    I am coming for a wedding in London in Sep and was keen to pick up some work for about 3-4 weeks any where in the UK. To learn new skills and help pay for my trip.

     

    I am Australian and moved to Brazil about 12 months ago, worked for 3 years as a climber in Australia am now working in Brazil, I have climbing, pruning and feeling cert form Aus and am currently looking at starting climbing training courses in Brazil.

     

    If any one could help please get back to me. Cheers.
