For me it was hardest to trust the gear. Once you trust the gear and realize you are not gonna fall unless something goes wrong,the easier it is to adjust and become comfortable. Stand up vertical as possible,don't gaff out but climb closer to the spar,you will know what's comfortable to you. Keeping your legs straight and locked in makes a huge difference. Keep safe!

Safety Tip: Before trusting all your weight going up on your next step. Make sure you drive the spike in all the way, (JAM IT DOWN IN THERE) , that way you get better at trusting your gear. If the spikes fail , which at times they do. That lanyard is what stops you from falling to your death or either your zigzag secured on the pulley of the tree made. Have fun and welcome to the Arborist life. I'm 18 years in this year and I taught myself, then I went to Smitty's, Piekarsky & Sons, John's affordable tree service, to learn what I didn't know. Then I embarked on my own to save my clients thousands while making content living.

Use your main climbing rope to create a cinching anchor. There are a couple ways to do this, either with a friction saver, or simply looping your rope around the tree and reattaching it to itself (you will need specialized gear, like a rope wrench, to add friction so you can descend on this). It will make the ascent slower and more laborious, but with just a lanyard, you have the potential to fall all the way to the ground if you gaff out, and eventually, you will gaff out. It also gives you a bail out option if something goes wrong and you need to get to the ground quickly.

Other than that just get used to being uncomfortable👍

For something as smooth as that I would do a full wrap with my lanyard or use my floater (prusik with biner) to make it nice and tight. If you gaff out its probs gonna be a nice ride all the way down. You could also use your cinching life line in conjunction with your lanyard (hold them and advance them together). Everyone here seems to say trust your gear but I think you're trusting it too much. You have to understand that this line of work IS trying to kill you and you have to be smarter than it.

Nice , maybe kick in a little more to set spike more firmly. When kicks out it can often contact opposite calf.Not a minor ingery. Commenter suggested 2 buck straps is right on.Also buy the kind of straps that have adjustable and have the inner safety cable. A small nick in a rope by a chain saw usually cut it completely. Learn how wood strength and hinging varies by species. Never free climb or trust deadwood , and always tie into the main trunk, not the side branch.

I’ve trimmed and removed a bunch of palms. Buckingham Tree Squeeze is my “go to” system. Along with wire core lanyard, they flip about the same and with both on while ascending, it helps prevent rotation on a leaner and you can bail anytime without doing anything else(bees, rats fire ants, centipede bites, etc), also you can loosen wire core and descend on a straight vertical palm without removing wire core( it’ll just dangle below you a bit). Smaller steps and don’t need to kick in quite so hard( saves your knees) pretty good for first time!🤙🏽 video of yourself actually helps see what you’re objectively doing vs what you feel like you’re doing.

If you gaff out, your arms are positioned in a way that allows you to support your body weight and not fall straight to the ground.

It depends: if you are aiming to dismantle the tree, then it's OK to use the spikes. Otherwise, the wounds you make with the spikes will damage the tree for good. There are alternatives to get up a tree or a palm tree without using spikes, which is easier and faster too. Only using the lanyard is not the most ideal. If you have to descend fast in an emergency situation at any time your lifeline should be working and installed as well.

On the far side, how is the adjustment adjustable part of your flip line tied into the d-ring?

Make sure your knees are always bent with one knee above the other as you climb up and down. If you’re constantly keeping your feet leveled with each other and straight instead of bent , you’re gonna put a lot of stress on your calf muscles.

I've heard the opposite and experienced the opposite as well. Keeping your legs bent uses a lot more energy than locking them out when working in the tree.

@@93rwolf let me make It more clear. Have your knees bent with and your back out if you’re just standing still on a tree is what you should do. And trust me if you lock your legs out, you’re gonna be using Way more leg energy and you’re gonna get tired fast that way trust me I’ve done it. I do it for a living.

Pull your lanyards closer into the tree to where when you put your hands in front of you with you elbows bent your hands should be touching the tree
