How to Climb a Tree Safely
Tree climbing can be a fun activity, but it is important to follow safety precautions. It is essential to wear protective gear such as heavy-duty pants and chaps, a hard hat, gloves, and long-sleeved shirts.
Before you start climbing, you must examine the tree for any dangerous features. Check the tree for dead or broken branches, large bird or mammal nests, and power lines. If you are not sure of your ability, hire a professional.
Technique
There are several techniques you can use to climb a tree. The most common is the traditional fixed-tail system and the split-tail system. Each technique requires different equipment.
Equipment
When you’re climbing, take your time. Start with a ladder, and make sure you have a spotter. A spotter can hold a ladder or be on the ground to see you.
Use a lanyard for your equipment. Wear a hard hat, a long-sleeved shirt, and sturdy boots. You may also want to wear protective goggles.
Diagnosis
Make sure the branches are strong and the trunk is stable. Also, keep in mind that smaller branches can’t hold as much weight as larger ones.
Avoid the risk of injury
When you’re finished, descend carefully. Avoid putting weight on dead branches. Especially if you’re cutting down a tree. Don’t climb in storms. Rain can make the branches slippery and can increase the risk of injury.
When climbing, check for broken or rotting branches. Trees that are unhealthy may have lots of fallen branches. Their roots may be fungus-covered. They can also have cavities or conks on the trunk. This can indicate structural problems.
