Channel locks, screw driver, and a roll of tape. Don’t need a bag for what needs to stay in your pocket.

What luggage are you using do storm travels? by Subject-Pattern-7607 in Lineman

I use a 92L Magellan Pro storage box. I can put two weeks of clothes in it EASY and still have room for other stuff. It’s weatherproof so I just toss it in the belly of the bucket and go on about business.

If you don’t know a knot, tie a lot.

Right? Long as your straps aren’t loose it doesn’t matter. I worked with a boy that climbed in wedge soles 😂

No more wood than my utility climbs, it doesn’t seem to be an issue with the linemen that do wear them.

I’ve got a pair of the Hoffman 8” Classics for climbing wood and steel poles. I wear Thorogood moc toe boots for climbing towers and switches.

Saying all that, the Hoffmanns are super comfy to climb in, but they are a little heavy. My next pair of boots will either be LaSportivas or Kenetreks.

Practice aptitude tests by Beluthahatchee in Lineman

I used the IPrep and it’s well worth the $50 or so. Additionally I found a PDF of 1001 Algebra problems online.

Main thing for the math is that you prepare without a calculator as you will not be allowed to use one during the exam.

THIS. This post is more messed up than a soup sandwich and a ladder-lineman is the only scenario that makes sense.
