I was helping out a BT openreach (telco) engineer the other day as he was struggling to get a dropwire through some trees. Even they have chokers as well as a pole strap these days. (and their poles have steps up them :) )

Centerpoint, North Houston, and LE Myers all use wood fall protection. I personally use the bucksqueeze by Buckingham.
