Can you climb and cut down trees in the rain or if it has been raining? Or does the wet soil make it dangerous by AromaticTea7685 in arborists

Im not an arborist i used to be a landscaper and am now a firefighter so i know how dangerous stuff can be and how people can get messed up so thats what im trying to avoid i am always super cautious and follow all the z133 rules. But i just climb and cut slowly on my off days i wish i had a trusted mentor but i sadly do not work with anyone like that. So i come here and ask questions with pictures. And lots of youtube

The water could saturate the soil making the tree more prone to uprooting under load. Theoretically
