I dont one hand saws and I :

3. Might, but thats because I bid on the jobs that I climb, and the jobs that I dont bid on but still climb.. my highly skilled co-workers bid on. The highly skilled ones also dont one hand saws, so I guess I live in Perfectville, WI.
As for learning from others, I have learned tons from some of the most skilled and knowledgeable arborist in the US, thus the reason I dont one hand chainsaws. And as for Ekka and his videos, I have probably learned more from him that any other source on the internet. Newguy18, if you want to be Oldguy18 please take my advise and get training from ArborMaster or FISTA. If you are unfimilar with these organizations, research them and they might make you more productive and maybe even safe you life.
As for thier training courese thats quite alright as I am learning from others like Ekka and next year I will be learning from someone who has been climbing for quite some time.I would trust his judgement more than what anyone at arbormaster has to say.
