Trees are majestic beings of our cities and suburbs. Sometimes though, our adventurous feline friends find themselves perilously perched in their branches.
Enter Steven Murrow and Tesla Tree Services—a company that not only cares for trees but also for the small lives that scamper up them (and sometimes can’t get down).
Try this for a moment. Find a quiet place and close your eyes. Do you hear anything? Maybe there’s a little buzz – the kind of sound you might associate with the hum of a refrigerator.
Arboriculture, an essential yet often misunderstood profession. It involves much more than just caring for and maintaining trees. Arborists, the true guardians of our urban and rural environments, face unique challenges that deeply affect their well-being and safety.
Many of us will never have to work through as many challenges on a daily basis as these men and women do.
When it comes to finding the ideal pair of chainsaw pants, one aspect that often goes unnoticed is the leg length. And when many brands of chainsaw protective legwear offer it, it is surprising how many people overlook the importance of this feature. It’s a small feature and not even really observable (apart from the excessive bunching when they are too long), but it does have a big impact.
Arborists are expected to work in environments which experience extremities of weather. In fact, some arborists consider pushing themselves in extreme conditions as proof of their toughness and ability. Wearing hot chainsaw pants and chaps historically has been part of the challenge.
However, during the summer months, the temperatures experienced may present a clear and present danger to the arborist.
Even in the colder seasons, in locations not normally associated with high average temperatures, the effect of heat can be both significant and pronounced.
It’s been a few months since we launched the Clogger Merino Arborist Clothing line starting with the 175 Base Layers. It is time to let everyone know how much people are loving them as well as explain the products in detail and give you advice on how to get the most out of them.
There is a lot of confusion about the chainsaw protection standards and how they vary around the world.
Type C, Class 1, chainsaw fabric layers, chainspeed, test methods ….
Understanding the global chainsaw protection standards is becoming increasingly important as arborists explore work opportunities in different countries and as arborist retailers start shipping outside their home country.
We thought that it was time to put a comprehensive guide to chainsaw protection standards together. Grab your popcorn and read on.
We know how tough it is working in extreme conditions.
With Zeros, we designed a new generation of chainsaw pants that made working in heat and humidity possible.
There is another extreme. The cold and wet. Winter. Embers are designed for this. They are winter chainsaw pants.
Winter Chainsaw Pants for the Cold and Wet Weather
Arborists in the colder parts of North America work in temperatures as low as -20 F and some times even colder than that. Up until now, the only option to stay safe is to wear heavy chainsaw pants with thermals underneath. This makes movement difficult and encourages fatigue.
As a result, we created another new type of chainsaw pant – the Ember. The only winter chainsaw pants designed for keeping out the cold wind and rain. You could call them cold pants.
