True but it's how it is on ships. I tell new people if it feels unsafe don't do it. I've got the strength and technique it's not a big deal to me personally. I don't recommend new people handling Long bar that are above the chest level.

These videos are not just for me trying to help new people they are also a way for me to remember how lashing is on different ships. I just use a GoPro while working and don't plan anything as far as content while recording.

@@christianreyasa7775 Thank you. We always do house keeping when asked. But if we aren’t doing housekeeping we are keeping it neat. If a ship comes in with clean bays we know that is the way they want to leave port also.

@@lastcrow809 Right on we are from Seattle Washington in the United States. Be safe.

@@onevia7775 Local 19. You be safe as well

@@malegofaygo7166 It really depends on where you live. On the West Coast of the US each has drawings to bring on new casuals.

I'm not sure what Port you are in, but in Seattle our poles are such that you can use the backside of the poles for better leverage.

@@gdshiplashing8239 thanks for replying. I’m at the port of Long Beach/ LA. I did use the backside of the pole but the cones still wouldn’t release. I guess I just need more experience and to be in better shape. Thank you though. I enjoy your videos.

@@Weapon_X_2.0 Sometimes the cones are just really stiff. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKDMoa1qnNN0ns0 and example 4min 28sec on this video MSC Savona

@@Weapon_X_2.0 5 highs are also a little more difficult for most people. Make sure you twist while you pull. What ship were you on?

@@gdshiplashing8239 thanks for the video. I’ll definitely implement the techniques. I was on the msc francesca. Thanks again. I really appreciate your help.

@@zeenhazelnut7300 yea it is.

Well it's hard for me to explain how I do it in words, but I'll try. When I slide the long bar through my hand it's similar to how I slide the short bars. The fact I'm 6ft might help my reach up the long bar as well, then I allow the bottom of the bar to slide away from me. At some point maybe I'll do a short video and figure out a better way to explain. Thanks for your comments and be safe.

@@gdshiplashing8239 thank you for replying.

I am from the United States

Seattle

@@gdshiplashing8239 For containers that are high tier, Lashing will be more difficult?

@@mctranchannel no that is as high as we lash

It really depends are where you are. I only know that on the West Coast of the United States port have lottery drawings when they need more casuals.

right on, I'm glad the videos are helping. Be safe

Thank you, I always try to be. You be safe as well.

Right on, we are A-registered in Seattle. Yes, you are correct general s[ealing I like to keep my distance from other as well. That said my wife and I have been lashing together for 14 years now and we are a little jaded. If you ever travel to Seattle to work hit me up.

We have lashed together for 14 years. I only drop close to people I trust.

Tip can are just secured by cones.

Each area can be different on how they hire. On the West coast USA locals have a lottery style drawing for new people. These lotteries vary on when they are held.

It can vary. We have had as few as 2 and as many as 32 in our port.

@gdshiplashing8239 Wow, thank you for answering my question

Right on. Yea I haven't been on an HMM in a while now. Be safe.

lol who is this? 😀 You must be in Seattle.

@@GamersGamut Right on brother. We'll see you in the hall.

You're welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting.

What local ?

I like to wear Cestus rigger gloves. The brand I’m wear is now provided my the employer. Before they provided us gloves I was buying my own rigging gloves which were made by Hexarmor. a.co/d/g8RnHLe

That ship is very brutal.

I’m not sure what you mean by behind you. Generally speaking 3 high bars are not to difficult for me. Are you referring to people who are shorter and being able to reach? I can see how the would be much easier to do as you are saying then. Thanks for your feedback.

USA

Now Singapore working lashing man can working lashing men USA give me your contact number

I am 12 yes Expedia I want to work in USA

Now I work in Singapore port

@@karthikaru5949 well I’m not really sure the whole process of working in the US is. But as far as Longshore work on the west coast there is a lottery drawing ever once in a while, then a casual process.

right on

@@gdshiplashing8239 lashing work is very hard

At first, it gets easier with experience.

That's a horrible demonstration. The test is 13 minutes for 3 cycles. That was WAY too slow. At that pace, it would take 15+ minutes, and you would fail. And you were dropping the bars....

@@jam82599 I did it in under 13 min in 3 cycles the video is only 8min and 19 sec long. I also performed it at a moderate pace to show there is no need to run. But thanks for your input. This is just to allow people to have an understanding of what the test is about and not for me to show off. Yes it is a slower pace I personally didn’t break a sweat. What port are you from?

I'm not sure what you are asking for.

@@gdshiplashing8239 brother in which country do you working currently ?

Thanks. I've been trying to put out videos to help new people in the industry, have some sort of an idea on how to lash.

Thank you

The employer supplies the rebar we use. On drops that I know are harder breaks I break a crowbar which does the trick.

Well it all depends on where you live on how they hire for this job.

Not really the best job in the world.

@@JoseGomez-lp2fi it’s a great job for me

@gdshiplashing8239 I thought so to in the beginning when I started but doing this for 27 years 17 of these years lashing until I became a foreman, it took a toll out of my body mostly my arms from lifting up the bars and my legs from climbing up all those catwalks.

@@JoseGomez-lp2fi Yea I get that. I started back 28 year ago. I've been lashing 14 years straight now. But for me I still like the job. I'm love the workout. I find it helpful to keep my weigh down and doing push ups and pull ups to help keep my shoulders strong. But yes it can be hard on the body. I

Yes it does help. I would like to see more videos being made by others in our industry. Variety would really help new people to the industry. Hit me up at the hall again if you want to start making your own videos. I can give you some tips on how I film.

No it was not a Kota, it was a CMA

We are ILWU union members, we are not crew. We get our jobs at our hall, and then work on whichever ship we are dispatched to.

right on that is a good idea. We also carry large paper clips to hold up the oval slider.

@@gdshiplashing8239 That's a nice one aswell, works on the other type of self locking turnbuckles, but in a quick situation you could always use a water bottle or something similar.

Right on. We mostly work nights, it just harder video in the dark and show things. But generally speaking I prefer working at night.

Yes, I've used ear muff style hearing protection before. I've used the kind which would attach to my hard hat. They do work good, but in warmer weather I get too hot. Generally speaking I prefer eye plugs.

What is a gp student?

@@gdshiplashing8239 GP Rating means General Purpose Rating. This Course ensured higher employability of the Indian seafarers in the world market. GP Rating is a six months residential course approved by D.G Shipping (Govt of India). gp rating, general purpose rating, In this course conducting, general ship knowledge and marine engineering knowledge... 6 months diploma coures in india, I don't know about outside in india.

Where are you from...

I work in the Port of Seattle in the United States.

Thanks you

I will try to work on that. It's going in to winter so recording in the dark is harder.

@@gdshiplashing8239 Have you ever used telescopic poles? And do you always work with the rods during the day or at night?

No we do not use telescopic poles. Yes we day and night using the same gear, we just wear headlamps at night.

Right on. Stay safe.
