Just watched your video on the importance of staying tied in twice while making cuts in the tree. This safety measure is crucial for arborists to prevent accidents and ensure a secure working environment. Thanks for sharing this valuable information! 🌳🔗 Keep climbing, keep growing, and keep shining bright, my friends! 🌟🌱✨

I'm in the same situation (53yrs old) with starting tree climbing for my own personal properties. I've been wielding a chainsaw since seriously, 10yrs old, from the ground, lifts, and everything in between. But lately I've been boxed in and have a few trees to cut where I can't get on a lift to cut the tops so its time to break out the gear and "learn the ropes, literally. Lot of knowledge learned over the years being filmed on KZbin and there's also a lot of new and improved equipment on the market. For us, the hardest part is getting the body back into shape as we were in our 20's and 30's. One exercise I found helpful obviously is pull ups. But I magnified it by doing it on the backside of a secure ladder. Try climbing up and don a few rungs on the ladder a few times a day without the help of your feet and legs. And the biggest thing with all of this tree climbing information is to try to always have 2 tie in points as much as you can. Being tied to one rope is great, but 2 is much more better. Good luck !!!

These are the types of small tips that are so important to know and learn when you're up in the tree that you dont think of at first and nobody else on youtube talks about. When i first started climbing it would get exhausted quick struggling with gravity lol. Having good tie in points and points of contact is the most important thing as he was saying. Great video, and great content overall. I've learned a lot from your channel.

It's good to have a harness with front extra D rings by your bridge so you can use your climbing line like an extra lanyard. I would weight my climbing system before taking my flip line off. I run a CE style lanyard and then use the climbing line on the front lower D as a second lanyard or I choke the climbing line off on the stem.

I was planning my next cut, getting ready to pull start my saw, did a final scan of everything and my blood ran cold...I still had my lanyard tied in to the 50 pound branch I was getting ready to cut. I was tied in with my climbing line also, but it could have been a mess. Great video. Thanks.I have
@TheToolnut4 жыл бұрын
I came close to that whilst taking a big top, on my final check I realised my climbing line was still tied into the top twenty feet above me! Sounds like amateur hour but some experienced climbers have been killed by switching off and not doing a final check. Rushing a job or fatigue are usually to blame.
