Im 17 in full time employment so im unable to travel and i havnt a clue what courses to take to work towards it or if its even possible under these circumstances? any advice would be much appreciated!

Dont we all? im 16 an had a few near deaths nothing to phone home about never been to a&e for anything more than a few stitches which is lucky the way a&e is here:thumbdown:

in my opinion its their fault...no dirrespect but as a lead climber id like them to have atleast a few years(3+) experience carrying out all climbing work. Make sure you make them aware of this before you do serious damage to yourself by pushing yourself to hard. At the end of the day if you get hurt or 'hit the wall' your losing income due to them pushing you to hard.

i do try closest ive came to carving was a heart for valentines day

I think id give up then ive been around arb all my life and have been workin in it on weekends and holidays for 5 years (climbing 1 1/2 years) and have never had to do so much riggin (apart from one job wen i first started but i just pulled branches back then) the guys that do it here full time use mewp for most of their work but are risk assessment didnt allow it due to flow of traffic down the road with no where to put it lucky me

Didnt really look...aparently a silage trailer hit the limb going over the road a good thump few years back causing visual damage and cambium and phloem was quite dry around impact?
-
Not bad for a 16 year old haha
-
unfortunately the site is getting a complete overhaul and the root system would of been so badly affected it may become unsafe there was also some decay in the canopy over the road causing limb failures (couldnt find a reason) and due to lines running inbetween the 3 main stems the client was advised to remove it so thats what i did it was a real shame but i just get paid to do the work...lovely climb well apart from the rain and wind.
-
before and after note the amount of lines
-
i defo had fun after way leaver saying they'd drop the lines the foreman decided it was too much hassle so had to do it with them up an off needless to say we were 2mins short of FINE time...weather defo didn't help strong winds and and alot of rain made a very difficult climb..but didnt spike myself haha
-
Gotta huge chestnut (60ft+ high and 30 ft spread) to remove tomorrow right beside NIE pole with just the 10 leccy lines through it only a 7 hour drop an its over a small road an 2 gardens with high winds and rain forecast no room for crane or MEP cant wait

This reminded me of a job I done a few months back of a large oak with severe die back, whilst dead wooding discovered a large stone (size of my fist) in a fork of a limb(60ft up) groundy's thought i was taking the proverbial when I dropped it down shall try and find the pics

Rogue Tree Surgeons / Gardeners on Watchdog now
tree_kid_ni replied to Danny Boy's topic in General chat
Thats the point that most of us have to battle with gypos and gardeners can put a low price in have it down with either the tree or garden or both wrecked with no h & s where we go plan it out do relevant risk assessments get the right tools and squad on site with chipper truck stumper etc all of which cost a fortune with insurance proper quals and training and put a price thats higher than theres and they get it, then a few months down the line they want you to come back to remove it or come and clear up after them. If only people would check for insurance quals and experience in my 5 years in arb my families companies insurance and quals has only ever been requested once on domestic sites although we always show it before we start anyway. sickens me:thumbdown: -
Been rec. climbing from no age as my dad was foreman of a tree team of a demolition company who didn't care for budgets as were making a clean fortune at arb. I begged my dad to take me to work with him until he did when doing homers then at his work helping stumping on a sat (just re soiling) then he went out on his own (5 year ago) so i worked with him and got me qual's. now i climb most days.

As above does anyone have a weekly checklist for a 200mx and chainsaws they would be willing to share. Many thanks Kurtis
