What would you hope to find in little chainsaw shop?hop?

[GarethM]

A decent Kramp setup would probably earn them a better regular return, especially if they're already doing chainsaw stuff

Yeah, not really what the question was about, but thanks anyway.

Chelford Farm Supplies has a little wall of climbing bits to mooch over while they hunt down saw parts in the back. A slightly larger version of what your man is on about. 
 

I can imagine the smaller purchases like consumables and things that get lost on site will be the safest gateway. 
 

Save the big 5-10 year purchases ( Harness, Hanks of Rope, spikes) for big retailers. I can imagine they rely heavily on local arb college students to shift those dust collectors at a descent enough turnover.

But they're a full on Stihl/husqvarna dealer with a turnover in the several millions.

A friend was telling me he was in a local garden machinery place and they had cable ties on the counter for sale, I think it was 50p.

 

He was like 50p? Seems good?

"yes per cable tie"

Yep, and even they’ve reduced climbing stock over the years. 
 

That’s why I’d go with smaller consumables, if anything at all. 
 

Maybe there is a market for a travelling kit shop that swings into a remote locality at the weekend and lures tree workers out with beer and anodised metal

Anodised clicking metal, if you please.

You're going to have to come up with a better name than that, unless your your planning on also driving a old french bread van.

 

Petzl & Peds travelling store ?.

 

With a chainsaw based ice cream van tune ?, why is this starting to feel like a child catcher for climbers and their precious.

Gloves is a good idea.
