This piece of equipment should only be worn for dead trees, aerial rescue or during the removal of a tree:

Saddle
Helmet
Gloves
Climbing spurs

The correct answer is: Climbing spurs

The use of climbing spurs is specifically associated with working on dead trees, during aerial rescues, or when removing a tree due to their designed purpose. Climbing spurs, also known as tree spikes, provide the necessary grip and support required when ascending or working on a tree trunk, particularly in scenarios where the tree may be unstable or in poor health. In the case of dead trees, climbing spurs offer a secure method for arborists to safely navigate the tree's structure without relying solely on the living tissue, as the integrity of dead wood can be unpredictable. Additionally, while climbing spurs can be beneficial in aerial rescues to ensure stability, their use is generally limited to specific situations to prevent damage to healthy trees, highlighting their intended application for situations involving dead or hazardous trees.
