Here the trimmer pauses a moment to size up the next
tree on the list. The shot also offers a look at his
gear. The saw and transmitting headset are the high
tech equipment. Still his life hangs on the skillfully
knotted rope and harness he wears. Hanging from the
harness are several cords and clips that I saw him
use for extra stability in precarious positions. Strapped
onto his lower legs and feet were large climbing spikes.
To my surprise neither gloves nor safety glasses were
part of his kit.
