    Currently looking for freelance/subcontract work in the above areas. I have been climbing trees for 8yrs, around the UK, NZ, and Canada. I hold NPTC 30, 31, 38, 39, 41. ND in Forestry and Arb, C+E driving licence. Well versed in most aspects of treework, domestic, site clearance, woodland thinning. No powerlines. I have all of my own gear, saws and 4x4, however my top handle saw is currently mid atlantic en route from BC. I'm sure a few members would be happy to vouch for my work. If I can be of any use, be it a day or a month please contact at [email protected] Many Thanks Paddy Vero.

    Well you can just tie a fig 8 into the bite to create a loop, it works with a bite, but wont hold body weight on the ropes I have, maybe with a supple grippy rope?

    Bachmann hitch? Requires a biner though.

    No worries. My only other advise would be to be conservative in your estimation of your skills to a possible employer and let them figure out where you are at. The work is very different to the uk in alot of ways. Watch some of Reg's videos, that will show you a good range of the work out here.

    Yeh I found it pretty easy. I secured my first job from England. English climber's are generally well regarded and in demand in Vancouver. Do you have a work visa? If not, get one and a plane ticket and you will be fine.

    Hi Ed, I currently live you here, although heading back to the UK soon. There are a few firms in Squamish, and 1 full time in Whistler. No tree work in Whistler from december to march though. There are tons of tree firms in vancouver though. The work is good, but almost exclusivly conifers. Good luck.

    Cheers Adam, I'll be in touch.

    I would do a bunch of slings and crabs, the wear on the line is minimal, than have some cheapo cord to pull them back, but you would only have to retrieve every 20 cuts. ( or however many slings you had). You can always sling multiple slings to 1 biner aswell. I buy tape off the reel and tie tape knots to make loops.

    Thanks. This is an amazing place to live and work for sure. Silky I'm from Berwick, haven't lived there for quite a long time though. Will be contract climbing around the north east and borders, or anywhere interesting.
  20. paddyvero
    Thanks Silky. They will be the last BC tree pics for a while as my work visa has run out, so I will be heading home to the north east for a while. Hope to be back here next year ish.

    I have a Mazda B2500 in extra cab. Its the same as a ranger. You should easily get one under £4000.
