Beyond courses in chainsaw use and tree climbing, the European Tree Worker qualification seems fairly standard for freelance arborists European Tree Worker – European Arboricultural Council e. V. (EAC) WWW.EAC-ARBORICULTURE.COM Trees are the largest and longest living organisms on earth. Trees are the most important living things for our... I would also look to get to the Deutsche Baumflegetage in Augsburg at the end of April. Trade fair day tickets are like €25 and there will be lots of people to network with and ask questions if. Deutsche Bahn are also offering subsidized tickets to the event from anywhere in Germany. Deutsche Baumpflegetage - Die größte Fachveranstaltung Europas WWW.DEUTSCHE-BAUMPFLEGETAGE.DE

Are you going on his 2 rope system workshop in May? He's running one in Oxford and another in Edinburgh.

Just seen your previous post about the Simarghu harness. I'd take it up with them.
-
Unless specifically stated by the manufacturer in the user instructions/handbook then no, all replacement parts have to be the ones specified by manufacturer for the harness to meet the certs/regs it was tested under, and pass a LOLER thorough inspection. What make and model of harness are you using? I'd be asking why a rough edge is consistently causing fraying and sending it back. You should be expecting more than months from a harness...bigger climbers can burn through the webbing on the legs of a TM but they're user replaceable.
-
Though the quality of the hardware of the new TM pro seems dubious, they do have lots and lots of replaceable parts. I would be interested to hear in time from any Magpie users how the durability/longevity compares to other harnesses on the market.

Never seen this configuration before! I should read the instructions more. Guess @wjotner could buy a replacement thimble loop?

I'm not sure about the price point with a 5 year lifespan - most other harnesses will have a 10 year lifespan

Horses for courses, innit. I do hate hauling 2 70m ropes around some trees Reminded me of the "Lightweight" piece in Paul Poynter's Blue SRT booklet, though you've gone even shorter.

Eucalyptus Tree dying off after pollarding??
krummholz replied to Julie123's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
What was the trigger for meriting such a harsh reduction other than being too close to the house? Just curious -
I disagree that the above suggests that the supervisor/manager needs to be trained to train, merely that they know what they're looking at when supervising works. But hey! Let's agree to disagree
-
Where are you getting this from? I understood that training can be consolidated (i.e. before certification) on the job if supervised by someone with the relevant ticket(s) and suitable experience, initially on a 1:1 ratio, then 1:2, with the supervisor then being able to work in the vicinity. From INDG317: "Where training is being consolidated through workplace-based experience, the trainee should be supervised by a person competent in the use of a chainsaw for the work being done by the trainee and who holds the relevant competence certificate or award."

Chainsaw boots or tree climbing/non protective boots?

Ten years if made after March 2022, 5 years if made before

Apart from wanting 100% confidence in any life support ppe, the functionality of the biner has been compromised - that little lip will be catching on your hand, arm etc and is more likely to bend more or cause inadvertent opening of the gate. Treat yourself to a new one! Maybe not treehog either
-
How about getting 2 throws over the main top and base tying them, then cinching anchors to the main stem. Use a traverse hook (like the DMM captain ) to get you out to the pollard heads? Then use slings for foot placement
-
I did find a Texas ISA PowerPoint that used that language but not sure it would have been much help, wasn't super clear. IMHO those terms aren't a particularly helpful way of thinking about individual tree biology - hence our misunderstanding of the question thinking you were talking about rigging!
-
Can you be more specific about mass/energy ratios? I just googled it and it was coming up with E=mc2 stuff The HSE rigging research publication RR668 is pretty comprehensive - you might find what you're looking for in there? https://www.hse.gov.uk/Research/rrhtm/rr668.htm
-
Petzl have made something very similar, with a promo video explaining principles and one application. Really useful for light rigging as you don't need a friction device at the base of the tree, and it will reduce forces on your rigging anchor e.g. could be used in "fishing rod" rigging configuration to dissipate anchor forces. https://youtu.be/KWcUcPletEA?si=fLQpDt3d5r2uvZO3

A Zigzag on Drenaline is one of the few things I've not hated about that rope...but yes it is boingy and hateable. Blue moon is 11.7mm and Drenaline is 11.8mm...you might want to try a 13mm rope if you're hanging onto the Zigzag @whitetrash, not sure a 0.2-3mm tolerance is going to buy you much time. But I guess the issue @Joe Newton is about spending money wisely to fix the problem at hand...the ZZ is slipping on rope it should be fine on (and 100kg isn't an unreasonable dry weight for a climber) and might not pass it's next LOLER. Six years is a good innings for a Zigzag, surely? It's basically charmed if it hasn't been subject to a recall in that length of time.
-
Why not put the money you'll be spending on a new (and different and therefore unknown) rope on a new zigzag? If your current one is worn and failing a function test on ropes it was or should be fine on then it should be retired, and with a new zigzag you'll get to continue using the ropes you already have and know and like.

@Marmaduke and did you get one? What's the verdict?
