@@TPOTTS_TREES You are welcome. Something nobody seems to show, that might be a good video, is when to say no. Two days ago, I was asked to remove a dead tree. A tall oak, taller than the living trees around it. recently dead. twigs still bendable...well, I rigged SRT, climbed the tree to study it and make a plan for the next day when I would have a ground man. I am glad I did. The tree was unsafe to rig from. Being taller than the other trees, I would have to rig from the stem of this tree. What I found was a vertical split running up from about mid tree. I could see right through the tree. I am guessing a lightning strike had split it. Tree is beside a studio with a slate roof. I carefully came down and thought about it overnight and in the morning, I went there and retrieved my climbing line and my rigging line. I declined the job. I explained to my customer that I was uncomfortable with the split that runs up the tree, That split would open and close with the wind. He called a big tree company and they will come have a look. I am just one man. So, it would be helpful to folks learning to do arbor work, to know there is no shame in saying no. : ) George.

What a great video of climbing and redirecting around a tree. I'm a rec climber and this is something I'm still trying to learn. Thanks for sharing this info with us. stay safe! the only thing I'd say is that from experience keeping loops at the end of throw lines for some reason I often times manage to get them stuck in even the smallest broken branches and then not able to retrieve it. I use an anchor hitch to lessen this problem as I undo the hitch, remove the throwball, and pull the climbing rope with half hitches. sometimes even the metal ring of the throw-ball catches on something along the way just to make your life miserable. 😄🙃

How you must pay attention to keeping slack out of your rope and even keeping up with how much weight your main rope is holding of your weight! When I go from one limb to another it doesn't look like what you showed there :) it's a lot more creeping around and clunky your transition was very smooth as you glided down to the next limb!

Definitely recommend doing that. So srt options incase you want some advice. Rope wrench and hitch climber set up. Rope runner pro. Akimbo. Zigzag with chicane. cheapest option would be the rope rench works great, tried and tested, new rope wrench just came out so you can adjust friction setting. However if you already have a zig zag then a chicane wouldn't be a bad shout. I've used the akimbo a little and I liked it but it's expensive. I haven't used rope runner but heard its good but looks a bit bulky for me. Stay safe, first year of climbing can be dangerous but as long as you listen to your gut you'll be ok. Find a good teacher

Climbers in the UK are considered quite safe due to mandatory industry specific training required to work. Other countries especially America to my knowledge don't really have this causing people to give tree work a go when they aren't necessarily fully trained causing avoidable deaths/accidents. Arboriculture is dangerous enough even with fully trained guys on site. Most of tree work deaths that are recorded aren't "Arborists" although I'm sure there are the unlucky few

There was a bit of a skip through steps at 12:35 when you fed your climbing system through. Are you able to elaborate on that? Thanks!
@TPOTTS_TREES2 жыл бұрын
Apologies, I thought I was filming but the go pro crashed at that step. At 20:15 I show a similar example. Once you reach your top anchor point, strop into the tree with your lanyard. Then disconnect your climbing line from your bridge. After that, place your system through the next crotch above your head, then simply connect the system back onto your bridge. You then should be able to advance higher up to your new anchor point above your head. Continue these steps untill you have your SRT line in the desired final location.Then feed the tail of the line in the direction you want to go. You're then ready to start climbing around the tree. If it's a long accent to the top of the tree I sometimes will get a groundsmen to untie the base tie and I'll turn the srt system into a drt system and advance the rest of the way up in a traditional manor then either stay drt or turn it back into a srt system once at the top with a retrievable canopy anchor. In the UK you need to climb on 2 lines when working so on a average day I'll shoot as high as I can with my srt line. Climb to that. Then advance higher with my zigzag. Then set my srt line at the very top by placing the system through a crotch like seen in the video. Hope some of that helps. If you want a video on more specific subjects just let me know and I'll do my best to make a video on it. Thanks for watching Colton!

You can sit, on a 5 gallon bucket while you watch the rest of the guys lying on ground or sitting unfortunately at lunch time.. or waiting for the foreman to finish his speech... it’s a step, it holds gear like files, screnches and wedges. Don’t put a lot in it because you’ll need to throw it out to access the line. Cubes wear the points out ALL THE TIME the metal pokes through. They’re expensive and mail order. Bags fall over and worse collapse inward making flaking aggravating as AUTOCORRECT Put your gear over to the side, pull out your bag already tied to the line, throw it or shoot it idc over your target, walk over untie the bag, tie your line on, and pull it back in the bucket. You’re welcome.
