Do you use ladders?

[Graham]

I wouldnt leave home without one!

 

No point struggling your !*!s off.

[geoff]

Dont like em,but they have their uses.

[skyhuck]

Never use them for tree work, I don't really think the time they save is worth the hassle of carrying them.

 

I also think not using them makes you quicker at getting up there without them.

i agree sh i never use them, got me some nice gear that packs down to the size of a wash bag and does the job twice as well and i dont have to carry a ladder everywhere, i think it looks naff to.

[Frank]

How do you get up a tree without ladders then????? haha

 

I dont own any ladders but sometimes utilise them when they are propped up by the contractor.

Yeah more agg than they're worth at times although I do use ladders sometimes, I have a tiny set of ladders 3x7ft sections fits lovely in the back of a small pick up and reaches out to about 18ft.

Lofthouse does, he straps em to the tree with knackered cart rope all the way to the top "Dibnah style":lol::lol

[kipperfeet]

Yep, always. I don't cut off them but for getting in to the tree, saves so much hassle and effort.

[Dan Curtis]

Only for getting up there on big jobs, energy efficient! Try to have a rope in before going up though, don't feel safe otherwise. Never cut from them
