The crew I was on set 3 like this one day for Grayson RECC. 35’ class 3 poles.

We had a crew at Nolin that had to set one by hand not too long ago because the location was inaccessible by truck.  They have to be ready for anything!

When I worked for a contractor the Foreman had big piece of PVC cut in half moon shape to put in the back of the holes so the butt of pole wouldn't dig in the side of the hole worked great better than the rock bar fun stuff

Only thing missing is a hand line tied around the top so the man climbing already has it up there and so you can plumb the pole with said hand line.

Worked for EK 36 years 20 years on the Line Crew never once set a pole like that!

Looks like hard dangerous work!!!

Safety man pulls up and sees this everybody is getting a day off work lol

There a digger rite there what is the point traning for off road 🤣🤣🤣

This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the first Kentucky Rural Electric Youth Tour. Since 1972, the statewide association of Kentucky's electric cooperatives has coordinated the youth tour to both Frankfort and Washington, D.C. Co-ops select rising young leaders in their service territories to gain a personal understanding of American history, civic affairs, and their role as citizens and members of electric cooperatives. Students will embark on the Washington Youth Tour in June.

The four long days and nights of restoration work included more than 75 mutual aid linemen, contractors and the local co-op’s own crews. Crews had to deploy extraordinary efforts to slog through impassable mud, traverse creeks and streams and string wire from hilltop to hilltop. Even as power was restored to one area, limbs continues to rebound or snap triggering new outages.
