When I first watched this video a few weeks ago I thought everything was so crazy. After a couple weeks of rope /mechanical device research, I finally get what’s going on Thanks for the vid 🤙🏽
@@mr.benitezhimself good afternoon I'm in the process of learning I climbed my first palm today I've been watching alot of ur videos for weeks now taking alot of your advice helped alot today before I buy the zig zag pretzel what is the 2020 new ones called ?
My understanding is that a residential trim is only trimming below 9 to 3 orientation. Anything above that would be a commercial trim or hurricane trim.
Commercial/hurricane trim (3-4 palm fronds, 11-1, or even 10-3) Residential trim ( 6-7 palm fronds, 9-3) But if I see any brown on top of the palm fronds, or if the palm frond is hanging too low, I make the decision to cut it off
@@mr.benitezhimself ogh they make aluminum gaffs or I'm sure u can swap out just the spike part to I long gaffs.i like the long spikes for pine trees and big bark maples but I have the short gaffs for oaks and smoother trees ide be a nervous mess trying to spike them Posey goosey looking pine trees
john Hildebrand here in Las Vegas, I barely get to trim trees other than palms. Maybe 10% and when I do, I don’t use spikes because I can feel me hurting the poor tree.. So I just srt to get to the canopy. 🌴🌴🌴
good job...... suggestion,, NEVER CUT WITH JUST ONE ROPE IN UNLESS ITS STEEL CORE,,, of course there are exceptions..... when coming down of trees,, if i can,, i keep my lanyard around the tree as i come down on my climbing line
I climb palm trees with spikes When it comes to pruning other trees, I don’t use spikes If a client pays me to leave ONE palm fronds up there, I’ll do it. I let them know, they will grow twice as fast. Also, learned this year that it’s not necessarily hurting the tree because a “hurricane” trim is actually better for palms that go thru rain/wind storms Thanks for watching
Bo Hansen I understand where you’re coming from, these trees will live far longer than you, even with me climbing them. I don’t lose sleep over minuscule things. Like I said, if they client doesn’t want me climbing them with spikes, that fine. Let’s do SRT, but the majority of people can’t afford $300.00 a tree (just for a trim) Thanks for your tips, I’m still going to do it this way and if the money is right, I’m doing as the client wishes. Dirty hands but clean money Watch more of my videos and criticize them as well Love learning everyday Thanks

Excellent.
Thank you 🙏🏼🌲🌲🌲
Can you use the friction saver to also climb the palm and then use it with the zigzag to repel down?
Yes you actually 🌴
Mr. Benitez Himself thank you for all your great content and information. You’re helping so many people including me.
Brain Storm that’s what I’m here for brother 🙏🏼🌴 climb safe
What’s spurs are you using for this type of tree ? Pole or tree ? And why is it your preference
Tree because they are for trees. I haven’t used poke gaffs.
My understanding is that a residential trim is only trimming below 9 to 3 orientation. Anything above that would be a commercial trim or hurricane trim.
Commercial/hurricane trim (3-4 palm fronds, 11-1, or even 10-3)
Residential trim ( 6-7 palm fronds, 9-3)
But if I see any brown on top of the palm fronds, or if the palm frond is hanging too low, I make the decision to cut it off
@@mr.benitezhimself Thank you.
Definitely get the 3 inch gaffs out for that
Yeah I’m wearing the short gaffs
I sold my long gaffs because they were metal and heavy

Ay bro what’s the most comfortable spikes to use on a plam tree ?? Lmk
I have long and short spike, depends on the palm

Yo nice jump Traverse check on my last video it’s my homemade Captain Hook check it out let me know what you think
SPiking llive trees and trimming above 3 and 9 o'clock is tree abuse. Good job
