i agree this is a place to learn not a####ing mental institution!!!!!!!!!
I'm gonna interject here.
The way i see it: Climbing trees with little toy saws sounds kinda gay-to my redneck upbringing. Next time one of you sissy boys want to climb a tree, I'll cut it down with a 390 and a pocket full o' wedges, with you in it.:msp_mad:
No, really what is with the argumentative crap anyway? Why can't the arborists just get along?
Don't get mad at me or The Dan, you'll have a job that will stump and break you, I'll come along and do it just like that while you are still having a conversation about yer saw or "the best way to hire a climber". You'll blink, I will have it down and then you'll ask how. Happens everytime with you then you get all mad cause I make it look easy and its you mother####ers getting all scared of me cause ya'll is afraid of heights. You should be but don't get mad at me cause you are pissing around out in the real world.
" the best way to hire a climber"? What a broad sweeping and stupit question that is, it cannot even be answered without just doing it. Puss.
Looks like your the one getting upset. You are right we are functioning in the REAL WORLD and not delusional DAN world.
No worries, not everyone here suffers from "small mans syndrome" just a few. If i didn't know any better i'd ask the same question.
If you hire someone just make sure he has his own gear and insurance, if not then he's not a subcontractor and probably can't climb for ####.
Now little man NC is gonna try. Good luck joker boy.
Dan why dont you just answer the original Post in a good way without malice?

Malice The intention or desire to do evil; ill will.Do you think the OP intended ill will?I guess we now know who is ignorant you dont even know what the word means!because I am extremely offended by ignorance which is a form of malice whether yer to stupit to see that or not.
I have a tree service in Nashville TN. Just a small tree service but sometimes i need a climber. i have a lot of new climbing gear and do some climbing myself but some stuff is best left to an expert climber that has more experience than i do. I found a guy who has been climbing for 10 years or so, but doesn't own any of his own gear and would have to use my stuff. i guess my question is this, should i hire someone who has to use my gear? does this make me more liable for his safety if he uses my gear? i dont want to get sued by him or his wife if he gets hurt. would having him sign a general liability release form be a good thing for me to do? thought i would ask what you guys thought, thanks
OK, I am sorry. I am sorry you all don't see the downright satire, irony, pain, fear and comedy in this paragraph.
And no, I would never hire the guy you are talking about to climb trees. That would be a good thing for you to do... well not to do. Either of you two on the loose in the 82 camaro would scare the crap outta me. I hire him to ground for me while I figured out the arial acrobatics since it was my company and my liabilty and I should charge you for telling.
All the sudden some guy starts to think he is " just gonna cut it with his 390" ( whatever that is, a saw I presume) and its up to me to make sure things go right. Stay on the ground puppies.
because I am extremely offended by ignorance which is a form of malice whether yer to stupit to see that or not.
