Cleaning gear - UK to Australia
krummholz replied to San Salter's topic in International Arborist Forum
I'd use some Propellar, pack the data sheet with the kit for customs to see. I think as long as the kit is clearly free from mud and organic matter (sawdust, leaves etc), particularly on your boots AND you've given it a scootch with an Arb specific disinfectant then there's not much more you can do?

I'm looking at specing an Arb truck with a tipping chip box, currently looking at Tipmaster. Saving weight on the body is a priority as we need to maximize the (legal) payload. It won't be getting abused and regularly overloaded as we'd need to keep everything kosher. What are folks opinions on ally tipper beds vs steel? I've heard some possibly apocryphal stories about ally beds tearing when tipping but I'm guessing they were massively overloaded? The extra 120kg of payload an ally floor would give over steel would be valuable.

The Defiance doesn't look dissimilar to the Innovation in terms of length, which is what I found annoying about it for climbing in. I used to wear old goretex jackets as they were fairly hard wearing for tree climbing but the zips would always go, Musto do a goretex smock that might be alright?

Petition to bring back the Cut and Climb - I wonder if there was a crowd funder and enough folk signed up whether they'd do another run of them?

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.

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?

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
