What Makes a Bucket Truck a Forestry Bucket Truck?

The forestry industry has completely different needs for bucket trucks than say, the electric industry. While they both need to reach heights a ladder can't safely reach, forestry workers have a completely different set of variables to maintain and take into consideration. Take for example, a worker trimming a large tree limb that is dead and near a walking trail. Cutting that large limb can be deadly if not removed properly. Falling debris is just one of many concerns of forestry workers in bucket trucks.

At first glance you probably won't find more than one or two things different with a forestry bucket truck compared to any other industry specific bucket truck. The obvious difference is the cab gaurd the forestry industry needs. This cab gaurd is integral to the safety of workers inside the cab. If a tree or large limb were to fall on the truck, the cab gaurd would keep the worker from getting crushed.

Insulated booms are not a necessity in the forestry industry because workers rarely come in contact with power lines. It is handy in case of the rare chance you do need to work around live wires however, most forestry workers would call for assistance from a power linesman to handle such a situation.

Another thing most forestry bucket trucks have are behind the cab booms. The placement of the boom on the truck allows for manueverability to hard to reach spots, all while performing the job safely. The position of the boom keeps the truck balanced and helps to avoid tipping.

As you can see there are significant differences between forestry bucket trucks and other industries trucks. If you are considering becoming a forestry worker, it is advised you take the risks of the job into consideration. All forestry workers are highly trained and licensed.

ARGH! I hate my bangs!?

Okay, so I've wanted blunt bangs for awhile now and I finally got the courage to get a trim and bangs. The woman cutting my hair cut my hair to my shoulders when it used to be the middle of my back. And I really hate my bangs.

Here's a pic:

What can I do to make them look decent until they grow out?

train them to go to the side if you don't like straight bangs. what you do is when you get out of the shower train them and push them in any direction you want bobby pin them and they will eventually move to wherever and however you want them to be or go
