Run it down the pole and splice in a ped or hand hole.

I've been using a Werner work platform.  They're actually made to stand on, but 
provide me with some work space.  Various manufacturers make ladder-mount 
splicing workstations, most are outrageously expensive though.

  Do you mount a work table on the ladder?

    I have several locations that I splice from a ladder on a pole.  It isn't 
my favorite way to do things, but it is workable.  If you're going to need to 
do it in inclement weather, I would probably purchase a strand-mountable ladder 
tent - providing steel strand is present.

      I'm looking at some rural places where for some reason the power company 
      chose to run their pole line about 100 yards off the road behind the 
      houses.

      I cannot drive a bucket truck to some of these places.  Sometimes you'd 
      be crushing a corn field to get there or other times it's brushy and 
      untamed and you couldn't drive anything less than a forestry mulcher 
      through it.

      How do you equip someone for fusion splicing out in the bush like that?  
      If we build on this route, we'll have to be able to splice out there at 
      some point.  Do you clear a space on the ground and set up a tent or do 
      you climb the pole and set up an aerial tent and lash a work table to 
      the pole?
