Do you ALWAYS pre install a climbing line on all take downs?

[QUOTE="clearance, post: 814893, member: 5592"] I do many removals, most beside powerlines, I have only ever climbed with spurs. Most of the trees I cut down are conifers. We call it strip and chunk, you go up cutting branches, one handing often to throw them into the best spot for your groundman or to control them so they don't hit the line. I do not cross, I put the saw in my other hand. I keep my rope coiled up, with me unless I have to let it down to swing to another tree, get gas or a bigger saw. I don't like my rope on the ground, anyone who does removals knows why. I don't brag about my ability to cut trees down fast and nasty like I do, but because I do it often and have been shown how to do it by some real productive guys, I can probably get it on the ground faster than others. Except for one handing, its all good, and compliant (here we only need to be tied in once if using a steelcore). So there you go, I kill trees the same as others in my trade here in this fine province and thats the way she goes. Each to his own, Cheers. [/QUOTE]
