My 20 yo son, who is only capable of doing small palm trees at this stage, hedging, chipping and groundwork, does not understand the full extent of the tree industry. I am very patiently trying to teach my headstrong son how to safely climb and this has not been an easy task. He believes he already knows everything to do with trees and is a new-age arborist with more knowledge than any other arborist he has met. He is critical of all the videos he has watched on this forum and lacks respect for any advice he receives from experienced arborists/tree climbers.
I apologise for the misunderstanding regarding Young Bulls original post, be assured I would never endanger the health or life of my son or any of my climbers. |
Welcome to Treeworld,
It's allways good to hear both sides of the story,Matureing a young climber, such as your own Son is diffucult,Both parties have to develop a respect for each other, somewhat differant to a father-son relationship. My son, John, Is our climber and at times I feel like i'm holding back a young stallion at the reins,John gets a little frustrated and me to but we both realise we are just trying to keep each other safe,We go home and discuss anything that anoys us during the day..If needed have mum ajudicate for the peace.Good luck and all the best.....out of curiosity...was there a back cut..and did you pullit over with the winch as young bull say's??. Speed follow's technique
