We have a row of tall Douglas Fir trees that overhang a group over houses and gardens. The clients want the large long branches reducing back to mitigate the risk of large limb failure, as well as major deadwood being removed. This job means tall ascents, traversing from tree to tree, and using multiple ropes to maximize efficiency and work positioning. We hope you enjoy… Looking for staff? Or looking for work?

Dan gives some tips for new tree climbers about equipment selection, where to focus and spend their money on arborist gear, what will and will not make you a better climber in the early stages, and not getting caught up in the hype. BUT, don’t cheap out on the necessary equipment like harness, rope, hitch cord, helmet, boots, chainsaw pants otherwise you’ll regret it. Looking for staff? Or looking for work?

This is part 2 of the 170ft Fir prune and Hemlock removal job. On day 2 we remove 2 stone dead trees. This is another great training day for Tom and Conor, and hopefully for you too! Hear our full conversation over the headsets about our rigging strategy, when and how to tip tie trunk wood, using a tag line to control the wood, plus a whole lot more to learn from our discussions. On jobs like this efficiency and flow is the key to a successful job. Looking for staff? Or looking for work?

Thank you to everyone who voted on the video thumbnail. Just another day with the Climbing Arborist crew. Take a tour on our morning job plan and walk around. See the hazards we are faced with, the steep gradient, the windows on the roof, and how important the plan and setup is to make this a successful job that could go horribly wrong. Watch as we rig up some pretty slick window protection. Dan teaches Conor how to use a mechanical advantage setup on his stationary rope, and a little trick with the traverse hook. #ClimbingArborist #Arborist #TreeWork

This job is a large, mature Black Locust tree with a nasty split on a very large stem overhanging a coachhouse. This stem also contains other smaller unions with concerning separations. The guys take on some hazard mitigation work to remove this potentially dangerous stem. Dan takes this opportunity to train Conor and Tom on some good rigging practices, using multiple rigging points to create safer systems (explained in the video) and more… The guys then debrief on the job at the end of the day.

In this video we demonstrate what are deemed industry best practices for a climbing arborist to be secured to a spar pole when blocking/chogging down the trunk with no option for an overhead tie-in point. In this video we demonstrate options for a moving rope system (MRS) main line tie off, and a stationary rope system (SRS) main line tie-in, both methods must also be accompanied by a second point of attachment which is most commonly a lanyard or flip line, but can also be a second full length climbing rope system. The 'American National Standards' for Arboricultural operations (ANZI Z133) Section 8.1.27 states; Arborists working from a stem or spar without a suitable natural crotch shall selective-in points or a tie-in method that positively prevents the climbing line from sliding down or up or off the stem during climbing operations. Placing a climbing line around a stem in an area without a lateral limb is not acceptable unless the climbing line is cinched or chocked around the stem or runs through a double wrapped or adjustable false crotch, which is secured/cinched around the stem. The tie-in point selected shall be able to withstand the forces being applied during the pruning/removal operation. .

Have you ever had a branch or log fall into you when rigging? This could help avoid that from happening again... Dan talks Conor through a simple but very useful rigging technique to avoid the branch or log coming across the front of him and pinning against his lanyard, harness or his person. This technique is all about looking at how the branch will fall once you have made the cut, and how to manipulate the rigging line to get the piece to fall the way you want it to go. If there is no stub to hook the rigging line behind, you can make a cut/groove in the wood with your chainsaw.

Dan discusses all the ropes he uses on a regular basis as a climbing arborist. He talks about the benefits of each rope, when he’d use them and in what application. Every rope featured in the video Dan uses regularly and is therefore a recommendation (in the correct application) otherwise he wouldn’t feature the rope. There are many ropes that Dan has not used and therefore can not comment on, as that would be insincere. These are Dan’s thoughts at the beginning of 2021. .

Drew Bristow talking about field testing tree climbing equipment, why manufactures really value his opinion and type of testing out in the real world. Drew shares a similar frustration to many of us arborists in how instagram and YouTube is breeding a type of “arborist” that will say any piece of equipment is great if they get it for free, even with no field testing of the product. It’s a strange, weird world that we live in, beware of who you get you take tree equipment advice from…….
