    I used a sequoia when i worked in Austria..done a lot of cobra bracing. Comfy harness. Now a days I use a butterfly or my old faithful weaver for big section fells.

    I agree with that. Ive always said its like when you pass your driving test you get the ticket then you start learning to drive. Same with arb you get ticket then its a learning curve. I'm 40 and its not a problem for me climbing every day i am fit strong and its not a problem on a day to day basis to section fell big stuff or crown reduction/care or just prunning the small fruit tree. Love it..

    Personally i would only use ladders to access the crown then ask ground staff to remove it or just use throw line i would never use chainsaw from it even if i have line in or flip line installed. Work safe if in doubt don't do it..

    He's got wedding ring on..not a problem with that because i wear one..however shouldn't wear it to work in our industry unless you want your finger de-gloved. Or just wear gloves if you dont want to take it off personally i cant wear gloves when im climbing we all do this job cause we love it but always work safe and go home in one piece to your family.

    I agree jon. I didnt say anything adverse.. but questions will be asked "how can your harness fail".
  13. trooper harry
    Paramedic says that his harness failed. 25 ft up a ladder.!!
  14. trooper harry

    Back in the forces days. I was weighing in at around 11- 12 stone give or take. I was a bit of a racing snake nothing fazed me when it came to distance and carrying weight on my back. I play rugby now a days to keep my fitness not to mention running around after my kids and arb work. Having said that the older we get the harder it is to shift fat. So any fitness is got to pay. Diabetes and obesity is an issue in this country. Stay safe stay cool and rehydrate.
