Today's job for the man from the west, special branch Dan! Horrible ash tree with ash heart rot to reduce to a monolith. Get all the good jobs me 😀😀

Cheers lads

Ive worked for many AA companies. Speak to dan about that, i just turn up and climb bs3998 is not always possible although we try it cant always be achieved. I think it should be changed to british standard best practice on the day

Just looked at the pictures again and any of the bigger looking pruning cuts are from me trying to prune back some old stubs from previous work. Nothing much i could do with them but try and prune back to something decent enough so the tree will react in the correct way.

Hi Paul no works on the lower part of the Crown was from me. The tree has been heavily heavily pruned back from the building and raised to approx 7 to 8 metres. Cheers sam

The spec was to reduce by 10 to 12 feet but in the end I persuaded the client to go for more like 5 to 6 feet. It has been very heavily pruned in the past. I don't believe this to be heavily reduced.

Today's job with Dan the man from specialbranch. Excuse the screen shots

Must have been working for the wrong companies or not pushing yourself enough. No gardener i know makes more money than me or any other Arborist who is working at a good level also. I thought gardeners were getting about £8 an hour?

Peter grey is the man I'm looking for does anybody have a number?

In need of an Assessor to refresh some of my units? North East/Yorkshire. ASAP. Can anybody help me?

I have been offered a very good position and have accepted the job. Thank you to everyone who made me a job.

Hi mate I have just come back from Stockholm. Contact lars haglund, Arboristerna tradvard. Loads of work and not enough climbers.

I am currently looking for full time employment as being self employed is too hit and miss. I've been working out in Sweden for a couple of months in the hope that things would pick up on my return but to no avail. I've been climbing for 8-9 years, holding team leader/charge-hand positions throughout my time so i am very capable of running teams and taking control of work sites. As i am just as capable and happy to be part of a team or take on a position as a lead climber which ever you prefer should you have a position available. I have a National diploma, i hold NPTC certs 30 30.1 38 39 40 UA 1 2 2.1 2.2 2.3, IPAF also. I am easy to get on with, reliable and punctual. I feel that i have always become an integral part of which ever company i have worked for in the past and always working to my maximum potential whatever the given task. I am available right away to work anywhere in the country should the right opportunity present itself to me. I can send my CV to anybody who may be interested in having me work for them or if you wish to contact me my mobile number is 07563686462 or pm me. Cheers Sam.

Forst have built a great chipper. If the speed of the rollers was a problem and the bearing couldn't take it would they really let you turn them up to be so quick? A forst chipper would be my choice.

Hahaha I'm lost for words. I'm off. No jokes on arbtalk aloud.

Let's just talk about who's the best climber that's got to more interesting than our back problems, jeeeeeez! I vote me!

Hahahaha I mustn't be good enough Im game for the humongous job meet up though . Arbtalk kicking off about lower back problems

Not all show don't show no appreciation but there is some. You can't be picky when your a freelance climber work soon drys up if your going to be picky. I accept that not everyone's going to blow smoke out my arse for doing a good job but after showing a companies lead climber up, that's not going to be thanked is is? Imo if your a freelance climber you should be at the top of your game and have made it to this point through experience and progression. All I want is to be paid on time :thumbup:

Bit of joke really

Lower back problems will occur for most climbers no matter how well you look after it knees as well! Standing on spikes with large saws and all the rest of your kit on does put a lot of pressure on your knees and lower back, fact! I don't know many climbers who have retired without a bad back. I'm not saying crippled but defiantly a few niggles which I have myself and I look after myself. What I meant by in my earlier post is that you go to great lengths for little appreciation for your efforts and hard work to get the job done leaving you knackered and a bad back after a slugging it out in the tree or on the ground. As a climber most of your strength comes from your back as well as when you dragging brash or lifting logs. A tree surgeon uses his back more than any other muscle, niggles and injuries will come when we use it so much. If you haven't had a bad back your a shiny gear freak who doesn't like to get stuck in

Been a freelance tree hero gets you 1 thing..... a knackered back!
