Myself and my father are capable of dismantling any tree in any situation. BUT having said that, we stick to what we can get through with ease.
Our setup isn't a monstruous' setup (yet) so we tend not to take on the monstrous' kind of tree's. We pass these one's onto a bigger company in our area.
Is our job(s) dangerous, my answer: yes.
Speaking in more of a climber's perspective here. I believe that once a climber no longer fears falling, it is time for the climber to stop climbing.
Fear - Is it not what lingers in your mind whilst' working? To be afraid to cut off your hand while running the chainsaw, to be scared of your hand getting caught in the infeed roller of a chipper, to be worried about accidently cutting your life line whilst climbing? If you arn't thinking about any of these things while performing the action what stops you from making the mistake? |
