As a home owner with three 50 year old Pin Oaks, that often times get winter kill in them, I’ve taken it upon my self to learn and buy the right equipment also knowing how to properly use the equipment with proper knots, thanks for the content, it has truly helped, since my life and my family’s prosperity is on the line I want to do it correctly, yes I could hire some one to do it, but what fun and excitement would that be, I went up 50 feet last Saturday to put in friction saver, then descended, what a blast to learn that the rope and saddle are my friends, learning to trust my abilities in knot tying and the rope was big! A big thanks to you!
Thank you, It's pretty awesome to go up and see nature in your own back yard. I have to admit I still get a thrill out of climbing. Feeling comfortable and learning the proper knots is key. Glad to help!
Bino, I have been doing tree work most of my life. I’m 55, in decent shape and ride/race dirt bikes for fun. I have a buddy that was always the climber and I was the ground man. I currently trim for a National Tree Service, maintaining the power lines. I’ve always wanted to climb, I spoke to my GF, who got me started in the right direction with some of the gear and a rope,and have been working on a huge maple in my yard. Your videos helped me in in so many ways. You have a great teaching style, and would make a great boss I’m sure. Confidence is key, a level head is paramount. Thanks for all of the work in making these videos. C442
Working in maintaining power lines is very hard and scary work. I tip my hat to you. It's nice that your GF supports you that makes learning and working in the trade better. I'm glad our videos are helping you. Take care!
When you foot lock on the MRS it is a modified body thrust. Secured foot lock is when you use a long prusik loop or cord with a prusik hitch or Klemhiest and connect to your saddle, then you foot lock.
@@BinoH Sorry I didn't word that correctly or include enough info. I was looking at the evaluation form. It states for ascent, "Please demonstrate entry using body-thrust OR secured footlock." My question is, is the modified body thrust an acceptable technique for the test. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks.
@@jesusgaona3140 The test that I am talking about in this video is the ISA tree climber specialist test. here is the link www.isa-arbor.com/ go to this link and click on credentials here you will find on what you need to do.
We were practicing International Society of Arboriculture Test. Check there web site out and look at the test in your area. It should be the same structure because it is international. www.isa-arbor.com/
I don't believe there is an age cut-off. There are requirements and you can find them on the International Society of Arboriculture website under tree climber specialist certification.
How does this test qualify anyone to work in trees with a chainsaw or rig heavy limbs over property? When a homeowner asks if you are licensed, they are under the impression that you have been tested in rigging, chainsaw safety, etc... You can either climb a tree or you can't. It doesn't mean you can climb a tree with a chainsaw and not kill anyone. Pretty useless test if you ask me. It in no way qualifies you to do tree work. They need to change that crap test and test on rigging, chainsaw use and safety procedures including aerial rescue and first aid. Unbelievable. I've had welding certification tests that were more involved.
The ISA Tree Climbing test is a tree-climbing Test. It does not qualify you for chainsaw and rigging large limbs. The test is the beginning of ISA certifications you have to be in tree care for at least 18 months to be able to take the test. This test speaks to basic tree knowledge and proper pruning and the skill of climbing safely. The way you become skilled with a chainsaw and in tree removal rigging is by working in the trade and experiencing those techniques. It is not a license but a certification but what it can do is help people learn proper tree care and techniques it also will keep them engaged by continuing learning, it will also help you network with other tree care professionals. Another benefit is that employers who hire in tree care see it as that potential employee is willing to invest in himself by becoming certified. Here in America, there is some training courses you can take here are a couple I know about. www.arbormaster.com/ www.academy-trained.com/our-team Thank you for sharing. Take care!

Does foot locking a moving rope count as secured foot lock? It's described in the Tree Climber's Companion as a modified body thrust.
When you foot lock on the MRS it is a modified body thrust. Secured foot lock is when you use a long prusik loop or cord with a prusik hitch or Klemhiest and connect to your saddle, then you foot lock.
@@BinoH Sorry I didn't word that correctly or include enough info. I was looking at the evaluation form. It states for ascent, "Please demonstrate

I hope there's not a age cutoff on taking the Certified Tree Worker Exam.
I don't believe there is an age cut-off. There are requirements and you can find them on the International Society of Arboriculture website under tree climber specialist certification.
good info, thanks
