NOTE: you are NOT IDing the fungi in pic two...
-
bit of fun (maybe) i came across this oak failure today... can you guess which fungi was hiding in the crack in the circled area? clues: the tree species is Quercus petraea the fungi in pic two might give you some idea as to how long the branch has been down the mushrooms in question are in a group GO!

very interesting, have you started an inspection sideline hama? if not, why? -
difficult to answer really, I studied my ND Arb at Houghall College in Durham (which is not on the list), but I also obtained my NPTC's there. Further to that, I believe that on the job experience is essential, and I have also applied to start a Foundation Degree at Myerscough (via the online route)! I ticked "other"

i recently quit tv, it steals so much time from you which would be better spent learning, exercising, working etc

Fine art- a window into the past of our veteran trees
chris cnc replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in General chat
great post, i'm gonna dig out some pics, do you mind me posting more "contemporary" art? -
i see. a bigger saw would be beneficial, although if you dont have access to one, an alternative is to cut blocks off the stem rather than slices.
-
oh and how long did it take?
-
good job well done
-
cut as far as you can into the trunk from the side, turn the log over with the help of a friend/ lever/ digger, cut from the other side, matching the cuts up. this should cut a "slice" off the length of the stem. repeat.
-
yeah, and if it doesnt reach the ground, you could re-anchor lower down, with the injured person clipped in to your harness... maybe. besides, this is all hypothetical because any person working in a tree should always have enough rope to be able to reach the ground in one quick descent... right?
-
If you did foresee the barber chair, and did nothing- why? If you didn't foresee the barber chair, should you be "supervising" inexperienced trainees?
-
you might find this recent thread useful: http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/general-chat/22213-ground-work.html be careful and don't get too out of your depth, especially with a dodgy saw.
-
you wouldn't reach the end of your rope any quicker using this technique, than you would using any other technique.... would you? why is that a particular hazard in this rescue method? i agree that my idea was crap though
-
good point! well that was nice while it lasted.
-
although, any speed gained would have to be offset against speed lost from increased friction/ heavy climber scenario tricky
-
of course any rescue technique must be safe for both the rescuer and the injured. like i said, just thinking out loud. surely though, it must be agreed that: tying in a friction hitch and ascending the rope DIRECTLY to the injured, is quicker than: setting a rope, knot, friction hitch, ascending, and reaching the injured party. of course it would not be suitable in every situation, but how many people have a rescue line pre installed as a precaution, on EVERY job?
-
i suppose you are right about the heavier rescuer. i don't think you would have a problem on the way down though. you could always clip both harnesses together in the same way as in other rescue techniques. maybe this technique would be useful for rescuing climbers from long limb walks or awkward positions away from the stem? just brainstorming a bit
