Thanks Chessa/Sparrow

I'm planning on doing my climbing tickets in the late spring. I passed my Chainsaw and small felling tickets in December so want to be 100% confident on the saw before I get my climbing going.

I've got Arbortech breathflex trousers - And I must admit I got the mens black and pink ones! That, however, is my pink limit

I will soon be looking for a harness, the lads at work use treehog and Simarghu, but they're all medium so I doubt would fit me. I'll have a look at the Treemotion harness!

Thanks for the advice ladies :-) 

thanks guys

Hey guys

I need to get my chipper ticket in the next few weeks but the nearest course I can find is Cardiff. Anyone know of anywhere closer to Monmouth?

Cheers

Hi there, I'm a 'lady feller' ? mainly forestry, but I've done a bit of climbing / groundie too.   I studied countryside management and then Forestry and lowland management, and have been pretty much employed in that since I left college, apart from a few years off to have my son.  I wouldn't want to do anything else, fantastic people, fantastic industry. Good luck with your studies! xx

Thanks lovely! I enjoy the term 'lady feller' but I must admit it took me a second! ? I'm obviously starting on the ground and am doing my CS30/31 next month. I'm bugging the guys with lots of "why are you doing that?" but they're very obliging!

they don't make ladies chainsaw pants as the test standard is for a mens cut (in the rise) but all the makes are cut slightly different, like jeans, so it a case of finding a brand that fits. Boots, Haix start at 5, but expect changes as the  new standard means that all chainsaw boot will be quite tall from now on 

Thanks, I've got some Husky boots and some Oregon front protection trousers. :-)

welcome ,

i think as others have said there are a few female posters on here, but id say 99% of the info/ knowledge questions on here would apply to either gender really which is cool.

good luck and enjoy.

carl.

Absolutely :-) thanks for replying

Thanks! That's awesome to hear.

New member alert. I've just started my training as an arborist and am really enjoying it. I hear the guys mentioning ArbTalk so thought I'd check it out.

I've had to order men's PPE as women's chainsaw trousers and boots don't exist yet. 

I was wondering if there's any women on the forum? I've heard of a few but there doesn't seem to be any groups or anything to join.

I didn't know what picture to upload so here's me next to an insanely cool yew.

Thanks

Natalie
