Climbing Arborist

Dan and Mat head to the park for another evening session of footlock training. Focusing on technique, trying different ropes, different tweaks, and getting dog shit on the rope. #ClimbingArborist #Arborist #TreeWork

Mat has never footlocked before, so this is a skill and technique he will have to become familiar with if he is to do well in the upcoming competitions. Dan calls in his friend Tiger who has a great footlocker technique, to give Mat a bit of help and guidance. #footlock #climber #technique

This video is to highlight and show examples of what happens years after trees have been topped. This video can be shown to colleagues, friends, family, neighbours and anyone who wants to 'top trees', has 'topped' their tree etc... Explanation of; -What issues may occur at the topping points. -How topping can create future risks unbeknownst to a homeowner. -Stress it causes on the tree. 00:01:21 Why are we topping this row of trees 00:05:06 Reasons for topping 00:10:51 Difference in topping conifers and topping deciduous tree 00:12:37 Examples of various topped trees 00:12:37 Examples of various topped trees 00:15:15 Example of trees that have been reduced in size the correct way #ClimbingArborist #topping #Trees

Welcome, we are so glad you can join us along Mat's journey to begin his training for his first ever ISA tree climbing competitions. Mat has only been in the industry for 3 years at the time of filming this, and never seen let alone been involved in an ISA climbing competition. In episode 1 we meet Mat and do his first ever run through of a mock 'work climb' style event. We will be releasing the 13 episodes every Wednesday, with a bonus 14th episode. #Tree #climbing #competition

Dan, Conor, Tom and Sam had to take down a super tall Cedar tree to leave as a wildlife snag at 40ft. There was only one way the boys were going to do this one..... the most fun way possible!

Emma got an amazing gift for Christmas, but soon after, it got stuck 70ft up in a tree near 'Barge Chilling Beach' in Vancouver, B.C. Luckily Dan came to the rescue and climbed the huge Poplar tree to recover the present and return it safely to a very excited Emma.

The Super fish redirect is one of, if not the most simple retrievable redirect options for a stationary rope system. In this video Dan explains the idea behind the redirect and the equipment needed. He shows the setup with an in depth explanation of everything you need to know about climbing with this redirect. Dan demonstrates the ease of retrieval from in the canopy, and on the ground. He gives a tip on adding weight to the tail if needed, and finally gives examples of when and where you may find a redirect useful. 00:00:29 Intro 00:03:09 Setup 00:08:04 It could also double as a 3:1 M/A 00:09:14 How it retrieves 00:10:23 Quick install 00:11:35 Retrieval from canopy 00:14:02 Retrieval from ground 00:14:33 Pro Tip 00:15:58 Why redirects 00:20:34 Climbing Arborist Jobs Looking for staff?

This is a completely new concept for a retrievable redirect we have come up with. The reason the technique is new, is that it incorporates the Petzl Eject device that is new to the tree care industry (2021). This technique utilizes the unique release function of the Petzl Eject to make this redirect retrievable by the climber while they are still in the canopy. Having a redirect that is easily retrievable can make it extremely useful and very efficient in the right situations. Redirects are a great tool/technique to know, and to elevate your range of skills, but they are not a technique that most climbers would use on a day to day basis.

Discovering the Canopy is an annual training event designed to break barriers, inspire minds, ascend to new heights, and to change lives one tree at a time while bringing environmental equity to forest research and conservation in Latin America. Co-organized by Canopy Watch International and Fundación Alianza Natural Colombia, Discovering the canopy teaches biologists from Latin America to climb into the forest canopy so they can discover, document, and conserve biodiversity, and discover better versions of themselves along the way. For more information and to support future Discovering the Canopy events visit www.canopywatch.com where you can send an email or donate, or look on Instagram (canopy_watch and alianzanatural) or Facebook (Canopy Watch International and Fundación Alianza Natural Colombia). #ClimbingArborist #Arborist #TreeWork

Dan talks about the importance of rope management for tree climbers and also when rigging. Rope management is a skill in itself, and one that often gets overlooked in the early years. Managing the tail of your climbing rope while in the canopy can save your rope get trapped, snagged, hitched around stubs, buried in branches on the ground or worst of all getting completely stuck when climbing on a moving rope system which leaves the climber stranded. Rope management on the ground is also incredibly important. Managing a climber’s rope on the ground ensuring it doesn’t get tangled in branches. Managing the tail of your rigging rope(s) is also a great technique to implement. If you like the video then go ahead and subscribe to our channel.

We were faced with a Scots Pine tree with a huge stem that had failed onto an apartment building. The tree was still partially attached at the point of failure and the tip end of the stem was resting on the roof of the building. Partially failed trees are always tricky as you must never assume you know where pressure is in the stem, and you don’t know how wood will react when you start cutting. We called upon a lot of our rigging knowledge in an attempt to avoid any unexpected movement, dropping of wood and branches and to keep everyone on site safe. We used 3 rigging systems, double block rigging methods, 5:1 M/A haul systems, and we explain our plan and process as we go. Did you like this video?

Dan shows how useful the flagpole technique is when climbing on a moving rope system (M.R.S) , saving time and energy. Dan the walks through the system step by step so you can see clearly, and understand it is actually quite simple when you are familiar with this technique. Practice this a few times on the ground until you understand it, then put this into your bag of tricks. It will bring a big smile to your face when you get the right opportunity to use it.

In this episode of the Climbing Arborist Podcast, Dan is joined by his tree crew members Tom and Conor. They discuss the most notable jobs over the last few months which include a very nerve racking Cottonwood job, a huge Douglas Fir removal in which all the branches were speed lined over a house, and the development and progress Tom has made with his climbing over the past few months. This podcast is brought to you by www.ClimbingArboristJobs.com , a job board specially for arborist jobs worldwide. #ClimbingArborist #Arborist #TreeWork

ChunkZILLA was an absolute unit of a tree. The best and most efficient option for this job was to use a crane and lift all the branches and all the trunk into 4 large 30 yard disposal bins. Everyone had to be alert and on point for this job and the whole crew worked amazingly well. The crane operator was awesome too!! There were a few minor mistakes on this job and some things that could have been done better, we are always striving for maximum safety, efficiency, communication and enjoyment, but sometimes we fall a little short.

A rare and interesting use of non life support equipment in a scary situation. Dan explains why he used the DMM XSRE carabiner in the recent video ‘MONSTER Cottonwood tree reductions’ . This is not an approved use of this carabiner, nor is it a common occurrence, and Dan would only ever use this technique himself if there was also an additional climbing system being used at the same time with full life support rated equipment.

We had 3 Massive Cottonwood trees to heavily reduce in height and width for hazard mitigation purposes. We only found out quite how bad they actually were once getting high up into the canopy. You can tell with the tones of our voices and the heavy breathing that we sure were nervous. This video really doesn’t give you the true scale and height of these trees, or how sketchy they felt. The adrenaline rush of knocking some of those huge limbs and tops out really was something else. Looking for staff? Or looking for work?
