This video will tell you everything you need to know when it comes to tree climbing gear and choosing the correct gear for the new Certified Tree Climber Exam. Enjoy!
As an OSHA competent person, I go overboard, but my PPE is unchallenged. Miners boots because full shank protection and full metatarsal guard is essential to me. I only wear Pfanner helmets and a full face screen via polycarbonate. I always have VOX capability with every man on my crew. I always have a JHA. Be smart: live longer than your job.

Thanks for another informative video. My Protos doesn't have the ANSI sticker, and the glasses are integrated. Do the glasses have to be separate? I feel like I would have to buy a cheaper helmet just to pass tech.
