That would work in some places for sure.  I bet they don't want a ped or hand hole in the corn field though.

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?

    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

        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?
