Questions save lives. Ask every question you want around here.

I'm sure the questions I need to ask, I don't know I need to ask(if that makes any sense).....

 

[Tucker943]

No one gets annoyed at all around here with honest questions. Once in awhile a weirdo comes along with no true intentions of learning and gets under peoples skin with absurd questions that are outrageous. Stupid stuff. But if you have a real interest, ask every single question you think of. Really, do it. There's so much knowledge here for you to draw from. Some of these guys here are the real deal and get things done. Ask questions, ask more questions, and post pictures. Like I said, the tree will teach you the most, but a helpful group of experienced guys will sure save you some headaches. Im Chris by the way. Don't ask me questions because my answers are naughty sometimes.

The HH uses its own knot. Its just 6-7 coils with 8mm cord or 5-6 with 10mm cord.

9 hours IS close.

Ayuh, that's a little discouraging.....

 

[Bermy]

Ch74...yeah I feel the same on some trees...the ascent can be the worst part of the job, I swear looking UP is worse than looking DOWN, but once I get to the top and the first cut is done, it's like 'whew, all downhill from here!'

I find it takes a few minutes to get into a rhythm for working the tree, especially a larger one, once you're there though you're able to relax and just get on with the work.

 

[NHlocal]

.....to be able to watch a seasoned climber dismantle a really challenging tree, and have the freedom to ask how/why did you do that at any time during the job.....

[ClimbMIT]

Ch74 did you get my response in (I forgot what thread) about how I learned through the ACRT as well?

 

[ch74]

ClimbMIT...Yes i did and thanks a million. That is one of the reasons why im going to sell my project car to go to acrt...Bermy, thanks for that now i know im not the only one, And, i also agree looking up is worst most times i just stair at my hitch infront of my face..lol..But the last time i climbed i kinda planned a step off spot and it work out much better then just shootin from the hip...

 

[Bermy]

You'll get over it for the most part, but every now and then, yeah looking up is wearisome. A plan is a good thing!

.....to be able to watch a seasoned climber dismantle a really challenging tree, and have the freedom to ask how/why did you do that at any time during the job.....

There is some good timelapse on you tube.

 

[NHlocal]

Nick,
I will greatly appreciate any recommendations you give me.
Thanks!!!

 

[NHlocal]

Still..............having tree time with a veteran/experienced climber(on the job or otherwise)would be #1 on the list every time for me.
I've never been able to do that, and I'm the kind of person that when I see something done(right in front of me, not on video)it's so much easier for me to understand it.
.....someday.....

 

[MasterBlaster]

Hey, don't feel like the Lone Ranger!

 

[NHlocal]

No Lone Ranger here. I'm just being realistic with the schedule I have. No need for me to get into
why I keep a "full" schedule or the obligations/responsibilities I have(not on a on a public forum anyway).
I have a passion for tree work and the desire to get better at doing it, every time I cut. I use some of my
sleep time and the "bits of extra time after work" to get information online(you guys), videos, practice in
my back yard, and applying what I learn to the part time tree work I do. I love it.
Not whining, not at all. As I said, I like to be honest and up front with myself(realistic), makes getting
things done a lot easier.
But having tree time with a veteran/experienced climber sure would make the learning curve a lot steeper!
