I guess im randomly asking but does anybody know a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me

@Abdiel Stephen instablaster :)

It's allllllllllll about technique

"Linesman" judge tennis matches, and lineman don't touch ladders.

Hello am a young engineer from Kenya. I would really love to have your contact for consultation. Looking forward towards your favourable reply.

I like that.🙂🇵🇭

likewise man, finishing up my prerequisite classes before the pole classes

Devan we are happy to hear that. If you have any questions about our program please email news@blueridgectc.edu and we are happy to help!

Congratulations!

My advice is leave you feeling at home us old guys will eat you alive

I like climbing and qualified in the field of Electrical but my luck not with me

How did you get into an apprenticeship ?

Good luck I’m trying to get in myself been a trucker for a few years now and ready to do something new

Are you still in the apprenticeship?

@@405ruben 2nd year now

@phillip perkins toxic

May I ask what over the years caused you to have spinal injury?

What exactly caused the surgery? Or what part of the job causes that injury

@@imprice5668 Okay, I did cut out once and fell 18 feet. We didn't have double strap systems then. We climbed around and over obstructions hand over hand. At the time I thought I was lucky to just have a broken leg, but back pain began soon after. Also, I used working off a body belt (fewer bucket trucks in the 70s) as a means of working out my midsection, stupidly. I thought leaning out more was a way of exercising my abs and obliques a lot more, which it was, but I was also grinding away the discs in my lower back without realizing it. It was my own fault. So I'm not blaming the career of lineman for heath problems if you approach it right. I did not.

@@Stickmantibet See my response below.

@ed I’m just getting into the field and my instructors were telling me that the body belt should be placed on my hips and should kind of be on my very lower back and tailbone area. I use the lean back method to get a good gaff in the pole easily and on the contrary I have had a lot less back tension and didn’t workout my abs as much. I am gaffing with little to no effort. I don’t know if I am reading wrong or if our experiences are just different but I feel that the leaning back sort of sitting in the body belt method is great for releasing lower back tension. I would love to be corrected or receive insight from a veteran like yourself.

he has.

he may have been up alot of poles, but never worked for hrs on a pole, you tell by the way he cinched up the main body belt, if you did that and worked on a pole all day your hips would be killn ya, this guy is a trainer and no more than that

@@sloughdog9480 haha this fella has probably spent more time pissing between bin doors than what you have in the field 🤣🤣. This fella has a great reputation around here.

I am lineman experienced

Aaron Wanamaker can’t drive bucket down r.o.w lol think they have to b certified in both. Tree climber here tho just interested in “buck squeeze” for blocking down the spar

Laid up miles of wire on a set of hooks no belt no nothing. Your a hero when you catch the stringing trailer before they can set the next sag

I don't think it would work good for trees, too much bark, branches, and nubs to get over.

can't use a bucket truck in a back yard or a ladder midspan in the trees

I’m thinking about starting a career in this due to need for real income. Can someone give me the real on what I’m getting into

@@Forbiddenknowhow Pretty much time away from family if you have one, lots of work , calls at any time, working constantly there is work everywhere. Need to be physically and most importantly, mentally fit. I’m 19 and I’m getting into this and I’m ready for it.

If your gaffs are causing you discomfort at the top strap there could be several reasons: First off is the height adjustment correct? It should be at least two fingers below the taper at the knee. How tight do you have the strap? Top strap should be a little loose to allow movement. The bottom strap at the boot should be as tight as possible that is comfortable. Lastly, there a multiple different pads you can buy. There are thick padded ones . Formed padded, padded Velcro etc. Hope this helps you out. Thanks for the great question.

calluses

Ace bandages work as well if using old "passed down" training equipment

Yup adjustment is key. I use mine for hunting purposes, comfort is a requirement. Taller boots were also helpful.

And u drive the main road

Did you go for it tho

Yeah it's definitely more bells and whistles to worry about.

Yeah. It's not by choice. A lot of companies are requiring this now.

OSHA requires it.

I know, this is a lot harder than free climbing. I know OSHA requires it now but I retired in 2007. Climbing over a transformer looks like it would take forever with all those straps.

Aaron Johnstone shut up g

Hi Chris. 1 ½ inch is what we use to climb wooden Utility poles. The longer gaff lengths are for tree work because of bark thickness.

Blue Ridge Community and Technical College awesome thank you for the info was confused on that part haha thx again and sweet video👍

Yup! Att uses these now, theres really no way of falling. As soon as u cut out the belt will hold u

or the purge haha

Great tribulation is coming

JD Winty Looking forward to your video JD in that case.

Bill Stanton don’t think they do power lines, do they?

Tameracs

What happened ?

im going to be evaluated by them in late march

Great for you man.

BootlegFilly7 still wanna become a lineman?

Oh yeah yeah I'm looking to become a lineman. Are you in the field ?

SAME

Lots of trees and easy to put up.

Because we can drill through them without suffering.

Lots of douglas for, but slowly going to steel poles

No se si lo encontró pero se llama Bucksqueeze y lo venden en buckinghammfg.com. Ellos mandan a todas partes del mundo.

Hi Liam, our Faculty are using a bucksqueeze and a secondary lanyard. That is all we use. If you would like more information about our program, please send us an email at Admissions@blueridgectc.edu We would love for you to join our EDET program!

Only thing you would use here on a tree is the lanyard. Everything else is for poles.

They only used the belt to safety on. They now use this procedure on this video. Alot easier and alot safer.

Those guys sound like real shitstains. Nice to imagine that these days they'd be cut loose for talk like that. I'm sorry you had to put up with it. More and more women are entering the industry, and fewer of these types of men are surviving in it. You are a part of that process.

nathan belisle HS Diploma

having a CDL is also a good start many employers allow a new hire groundman 6 months to get a commercial drivers license but having one prior to application in my opinion is a huge plus

i dont know about that lol, everybody abuses the sheeit out of theirs here

Bor Neo technique***

Get new gear. I borrowed a bull rope from a so called friend. It was dry rotten. My first log snapped the line. Learned a life lesson. Have my own gear and take care of it.

I finished

Enlighten us.

@@IceColdProfessional If a pole is not perfectly straight up and down, one side of the pole will actually be at a negative angle. That side of the pole is called the "low" side. Dependending on the severity of the lean, climbing the low side of a pole is much harder, and much more dangerous.

@@CaptainHightop Oh my. I never thought about a hazard like that. But thanks.

Don Baus yep!!

Looks like a lot of trouble. I'm retired and I'm still carrying splinters in my arms from cut-outs though. I obviously never heard of a ''Fall restriction device.''

Wow big lineman

practice on a de-energized pole first and always remember safety.

What happened???

Bwonya Moses bucket truck

Concrete spikes man!!!

Mah concrete spikes are teh sharpest!
