Hi all. I’m collecting information regarding anchor points in treecare. If any has the time to answer a few questions in this survey I’d be most grateful Anchor Points in tree care DOCS.GOOGLE.COM Gärna svara på svenska om ni vill.

Fly can be spliced in different ways. The problem is getting the splices to pass the dynamic load testing requirements for the European standard due to its loose braid it has a tendency to slip under dynamic loading even with a high static breaking strain. It’s very important to do dynamic tests on arborist splices. Instructions for the splice pictured will be available soon from Teufelberger. Static breaking strength 21kn/5minutes Dynamic breaking strength 6kn/x5

Hi both the drenaline and tachyon spLIFE will fit through a zigzag if made correctly.

Hi. Contact Teufelberger regarding spLIFE certification. If you are a Teufelberger retailer you can get certified by them to splice their ropes

Oskstag yes that would certainly fit with the tree in question. Chrondostereum purpureum it is!

Can anyone identify this?On birch. My fungi ID is pretty good and this really has me stumped. Have searched long and hard in all of my books and online....

Theres a stand of c60m grand firs in Powys

Modified spikes for rope ascent. The Basic wasn't the best choice of ascender as it has a locking gate on the cam, but it's just what i had going spare. Bolt into the lower part of the ascender where it slots behind the gaff, and epoxy resin between the shank and the ascender for extra security.

Unfinished tree on my ribs

Received this message from a close friend who's doing arb work in Sydney at the moment...I followed it up and the guy is mad keen but the timing is not right for me...sounds like an OK firm with nice kit and stuff....heres the message - 'there is a guy in Sydney looking for 3 to 4 arborists if anyone is interested contact him as he is a little desperate im sure a great deal can be struck. the guy has a mewp and uses it as often as is needed so nothing dodgy has to be climbed he is also the head of the arb association out here so he is a credible guy. if interested his email is [email protected], office number 0297482323 mob. 0418245502 dial code +61. he said he will offer sponsorship so anyone who has come on a working visa previously will be fine to come again and im sure you can get you flight paid for also if you play your cards right like i said he is well keen to get a few climbers by the new year. let me know if anyone contacts him or is interested as he is in contact with me and if no one is interested i can let him know.'

I would reccomend using a tape sling as a footloop. stand slightly to one side of the tree with one spike in the tree and the other foot in the loop.

i don't have permission to climb them however i have been involved with tree climbing projects on the land before so i cant see it being an issue especially if there's a possibility of the trees being nationally recognized or significant.

Alright chaps, I've recently been lucky enough to stumble upon a grove of trees that i genuinely feel could be serious contenders for tallest tree in the country. Theyre close to the welsh border in Powys. Its a mixed grove of coniferous trees, Sequoia, Douglas Fir, Thuja and Grand Fir. There's a stand of Grand Fir there that are certainly around the 60m mark, though i havent had a chance to get in there with a clinometer...not sure if its even possible to get a reading....so who's up for climbing them??? Big shot jobby, bit of SRT to access the crown, then about a thousand sappy changeovers to the top. Probably safest to use the big shot poles to reach the very top too. Theres 3 trees that i feel are the tallest so i reckon you'd want a crew of around 6 to climb them all in a day......keen?

hey everyone - i highly reccomend these. only 35quid and as far asi can make out are pretty much exactly the same as the stein evo jackets. Haven't washed mine yet but its still completely waterproof (had it about 5 months). and its got great scratch/tear resistance. Adrenaline Hi-Viz Men's Jacket - Bikewear

Hi yes i am in the UK now. Cheers for the details, i'll give him a call ASAP.

Hey folks I'm a qualified and enthusiastic arborist with wide range of experience in all aspects of tree work from planting and cable-bracing to large scale pruning operations, technical rigging and crane work having worked in the UK and in New Zealand. I'm looking for work (full time or on a subcontract basis) in the Bristol area. I have my own transport and all my own climbing gear and saws. Don't mind if it's a days climbing or just extra help on the chipper. Please contact Joe Stockton - 07980 540 446

Hi there - fascinating photos and sounds like you had a wicked time! How on earth do you get involved with these sorts of projects -its the sort of thing i only hear about or you meet someone who knew someone that did it!

hi all i've been working in NZ for 2 years and done a year in Queenstown. there are three main companies here which makes it highly competitive for such a small town. Tricky Trees are after climbers at the minute as 1 of theres guys is injured. theyre a small domestic firm with good gear etc. Theres NZ treecare contact Dave Finlin but i dont know much about what they get up to. theres also Treecare Southern Lakes - i've seen the name mentioned on here a few times. the guy ran a big business (like 30 guys) up in Auckland and has relocated here and just wants a small firm. they have big gear and do alot of bigger contracts and site clearance. most of the work in the area can be pretty monotonous but the scenery makes up for it!. expect insidious amounts of Lombardys, Willow and Pine! good luck

hey i moved out to NZ last year but i'm moving on around april time. been working for a smallish firm and i know theyll be looking for a couple of climbers mid next year - if youre experienced and enthusiastic you should have no probs. can give you details if youre interested. one thing to note thoygh is there is a lot of powerline work here and we also do a lot of big contracts using machines etc - havent been doing half as much intense climbing/rigging as i did in UK. apart from that its a beautiful country with a great lifestyle and some weird and interesting trees. good luck

hello all i suspect this topic has been posted before but havent been able to find it on here! i've been sporting Stretch-Air type Cs for a number of years in england, finding them much more durable than Hi-Flex and better water resistance in the british winter. however, having recently relocated to the Pacific coast of New Zealand i'm finding them to be insanely hot to work in and very uncomfortable. Its spring now, around 26degreesC, and summer is well on its way and will be heating up significantly. Does anyone have any reccomendations or advice on protective gear and general tips for working in warmer climates. i'm sure this is a gripe for many climbers thought it would be an interesting discussion. Joe

i love beech to take down - spikes stick well and cuts work but hate chipping it on a cold day its too whippy! oak is great to cut but can be a pain to chip. gum is great to spike but so heavy to rig! would probly say horse chestnut a favourite for reduction or takedown and of course i dont enjoy anything with ivy involved or worse - dead ivy

hey i've been in Gisborne for last 6 months but looking for work in South Island now - seems to be more work in central NI from what i've heard - what do you reckon?
