Climbing with spurs/spikes

[MasterBlaster]

I've done a couple TD's where I didn't have my hooks... I was an unhappy camper FOR SURE.

Half of my posts are gone on the naked old man thread

Nobody in this thread has once said they used spurs to prune a tree, except treeclimber101 saying all of us pro spur climbers "probably do". See how I used pro as in pro/con not professional. I was just wondering if you could prune this (I assume Photoshopped Tree) without spurs?


I like spurs, I need them for climbing power poles, there is a need for them. They're another tool in your arsenal use them when they make your life easier. I think we can all agree on that.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Absolutely.

 

[treeclimber101]

That's fine hopefully all the guys I just dumped on read them cried to the mods and they were pulled LOL they know they are dead deer stinky ass climbers

If anyone read my post it said "i've removed a lot of trees with and without spurs....they have their place....meaning not needed in EVERY situation.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Negative. EVERY situation.

Carry on.

 

[treeclimber101]

No that's cause you CANT work without them , I can an so can half the other climbers who care to learn some other techniques , like I said I'd smoke half of these guys LOL they already showed there Hand and it's ain't nuttin special

 

[treeclimber101]

And they are borderline turnips with there reading comprehension levels

 

[MasterBlaster]

Saying it's wise to sometimes do TD's w/o spurs is the same as saying it's wise to sometimes trim with spurs.

That's not happening.

 

[KenJax Tree]

How efficient is a 70 year old climber period

 

[treeclimber101]

You can't teach and old dog that probably was never good at tricks anyway a new one

This kid is pretty cocky saying he'd smoke any of these guys in a tree. You were definitely one of those kids I beat up I high school just because you were a cocky ********** but really nobody likes you.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Please, Bob... don't respond to him - ever. Don't feed the trolls and they will starve from lack of attention. Seriously. Your responding to him is what he lives for. Shun the youngster.

Besides, his days here are numbered.

Doubtful blaster seriously we've already had that convo too and it seems that as long as I stay within the confines of the rules I'm good ?

Says on another thread when he's not doing tree work he's mowing lawn and trimming hedges

 

[MasterBlaster]

Rules change.
