Diese Eichenbretter wurden mit unserem mobilen Sägewerk zu sägerauen Bohlen aufgegattert. Nach der Weiterverarbeitung mit Hobel und Schleifpapier und einiger “Puzzlearbeit” ist daraus ein rustikaler Fußboden geworden, den es so kein zweites Mal gibt.

Schauen Sie sich die unglaubliche Holzmaserung dieses 110 cm großen Eichenstamms an, den wir für einen Kunden im Garten zu Bretter Aufgesägt haben. Wir schätzten das Gewicht des Stammes auf über 4 Tonnen. Könnten Sie sich vorstellen, diesen Stamm in Brennholz zu schneiden!
In der Stadt Hamburg benötigt man eine Genehmigung, um Bäume schneiden oder fällen zu dürfen.
Unter dem folgenden Link finden sie das Antragsformular für Baumarbeiten in Hamburg.
Wir können sie bei der Beantragung der Genehmigung für ihre Baumarbeiten unterstützen. Nach Besichtigung ihres Baumes können wir den Antrag mit entsprechender Begründung für sie erstellen und beim zuständigen Bezirksamt einreichen.
Natürlich werden Schnittmaßnahmen oder Baumfällungen nur genehmigt, wenn es notwendig ist. Eine Notwendigkeit besteht, wenn zum Beispiel die Stand- oder Bruchsicherheit nicht mehr zu gewährleisten ist, ein Baum durch Pilze befallen und geschädigt ist, der lichte Raum über Gehwegen oder Straßen nicht ausreichend ist, ein Baum zu nah an ein Gebäude heranwagt, etc. Schatten- und Laubwurf legitimieren den Schnitt in lebenden Gehölzen nicht.

What a weekend so far! Right now I’m up the top of the men’s masters tree with Michi Hansch as a tree technician, Gabrielle Kleuver from the Netherlands is climbing the women’s tree so I have a chance to post some results!
It was time for me to step down and let another guest climber to run through the masters and that was Tomasz Franikowski from Poland, quite fitting having the guest representative coming from Eastern Europe as this, (I believe) is the first East German TCC to date.
Here we have the masters finalists and more results can be found here.
Thanks to everyone who was a part of this event.
The ITCC world title for me has been an ultimate goal for a while now. The challenge is not just a physical but mentally tough one. Just knowing that the masters challenge finals climb was over for me was a relief in itself, but knowing that this time I had represented my family, my friends and fellow competitors well by performing as they knew I could, that was the best feeling for me. I never thought about winning, in the beginning I was focused and went about my business and in the end, it was just about climbing and having some fun.

Here are the final results.
I was interviewed by Sonia Garth from ISA for the Arbor News magazine feature article. I would like to share this article in interview format, the article gives insight on my personal approach to competition climbing.
Here is where you, as either an arborist/ tree surgeon from countries within the EU or from New Zealand and Australia, can find out about working abroad. Because im a Kiwi and have worked and traveled extensively through Europe, I will provide information on these countries only.
If your under 30, you have got it very easy. Basically everyone is able to get a working holiday VISA with no special skills what so ever – as long as your under 30. VISAs are cheep and arrive typically within 3 weeks. Generally, your able to work for one employer for no longer than 6 months.
For information about the New Zealand work and holiday visa Click Here
For information about the Australian work and holiday visa Click Here
For Kiwis looking to head to Europe and vice versa, here is a list of options within the EU where the work and holiday VISA applies;
Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the UK.
I personally wouldn’t look for work in all of these countries though…
For Aussies looking to head to Europe and vice versa, here is a list of options within the EU where the work and holiday VISA applies;
Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the UK.
Passport holders from countries within the EU wishing to work and travel to either New Zealand or Australia, will be illegible for a work and holiday VISA for the corresponding countries as listed above. There are work and holiday VISA agreements between certain countries, this special VISA only applies as a two way street.
In 35 degree heat and more than 100% humidity, SAS (Singapore Arboriculture Society) put together an amazing event in Singapore’s Fort Canning Park. This was one, if not the most luxurious tree climbing event i have been to and trust me, i have been to a few… They turned it on with a huge marquee, live music, food, the works. With a very experienced group of set up climbers and technicians, the foundation for an excellent competition was established.
Preliminary day Saturday started off very relaxed with climbers eager to watch the first participants climbing in the the two main events – Workclimb and Rescue. The Workclimb was set in a relatively small but rather wide Albizia tree with interesting angles between stations making maintaining momentum the key, especially between the first and second stations. The limb walk was challenging due to the upward slope on the branch, the slender size of the branch and the flexibility of the branch itself. Well done Workclimb team and Tom Greenwood for the setup there. On to rescue, this was one which we have seen variations of in the past but not quite like this. Scenario concocted by Grant Cody & Ged Reynolds; climber was working with two independent climbing systems in the periphery of the canopy when mysteriously they became unconscious and therefor unable to bring themselves down. Here we saw many variations including the effective use of single line work positioning to complete the rescue. I thought ultimately the use of a third hand was necessary but we managed some how.
The results were tight with top climbers looking for a spot in the masters challenge the next day. In the end, for the Women we had; Chrissy Spence 1st qualifier and Nicky Ward-Allen less than a point behind. Men going through were; James Gigliotti AUS, Craig Wilson NZ, Barton Allen-Hall AUS, James Kilpatrick NZ and Henk Morgans QLD in that order.
Masters day Sunday. Set in a large Pterocarpus (I think) by Tiago Miranda, Ged Reynolds and Grant Cody who couldn’t have set the stations any further out on the branch tips if they had tried to….Yep, looks like its going to be a challenge with a 25min time limit! Well the next thing to happen which certainly is a twist in the story to put it bluntly, Jamie Boston from Australia was hit by a car while crossing the road, but i mean seriously hit. Event paramedics and friends were there within seconds to help stabilise Jamie before the ambulance arrived a few minutes later. Through the swift and professional actions of everyone involved, his injuries were mitigated and he is now recovering back in Australia. After a team talk and enough time to refocus, plans were made to continue with the masters event.
Craig was the first to climb then James Gigliotti. Both with solid climbs, Craig opting for a midline anchor at the first station which the judges liked. Unfortunately they both got their ropes stuck while retrieving their gear and timed out. Barton came out third and didn’t put a foot wrong the whole way through his climb also finishing nicely. I didn’t get a chance to see the above climbers so i can’t elaborate in further detail. I came out fourth after a light rain, (which didn’t help with the humidity) I set my line but didn’t see a small branch which my access line was over so after a quick reset, I was underway with time ticking. At no point did i have a second spare so i made sure not to waste one while following my plan as i hoped it would unfold. People often tell me i look so slow in the tree, man im pretty sure i was moving that day. With 15 seconds i had completed the climb and successfully removed all my equipment. Stoked.
Henk was last on the Mens list, with too much time being spent on the ground it would have been near impossible to complete the tree but none the less, good effort Henk.
Chrissy kicked it off for the women. After a bit of playing around with throwline, She was in the tree and doing what she does best, tearing it up. Climbing smoothly, safely but still with a hurry on, she needed just 3 seconds longer to reach the last final bell with her handsaw…Solid effort! Nicky next and the last climber of the day. She threw and threw again, always in the right spot but just to the right of the intended target. She footlocked into the tree, set her gear and started ringing bells. It was impressive to watch Nicky testing the branch flexibility limits on the limb-toss station but obviously having a good feeling for the tree in that respect. Nicky headed for the final station but with her tie in point not ideal, she opted to decent instead.
Winners of the 2015 APTCC were; Chrissy Spence and James Kilpatrick
I want to make a really special thanks to the NZArb and all its members for helping the entire kiwi team with travel costs.
Shout out to the kiwi participants; Nicky Ward-Allen, Chrissy Spence, Elliot Fitzjohn, Craig Wilson, Andy Neverman Drew Bristow and Zane Wedding who was representing QAA but we all know he’s kiwi as the days!
To the kiwi volunteers; Trevor Gardiner, Richard Wanhill and David James
And important official kiwi people; Mark Roberts
Cheers, James Kilpatrick
Last weekend (13-14/June) the French National Tree Climbing Champs took place in a town called Capdenac Gare en Aveyron. I found the preliminary rounds challenging with a great work climb set up in a Platanus tree (pictured below). It was a wet day on Saturday for the prelimb rounds and it only got worse for the Sunday masters. What can i say, we are used to climbing in the rain in Hamburg!! Thanks to all who took part, and congratulations to Jerome – the new French TCC champ.
