New to tree surgery

[Frankie Lawrence]

I think its more constructive critisism than postitive feedback.

personally I used tow ropes all the time and a strop

 

Try a 16 strand 13mm rope - its lighter:lol:

No offence mate, but I really dont understand your website??? Have you cut and pasted definitions of tree surgeons and then put a daft video up???

 

Im honestly not trying to be nasty. What are other peoples thoughts???

 

try the link in post 1. brings you back here.. clever eh? i dont understand computers..

[Mesterh]

How bizarre!

 

One rope rule to rule them all, and maybe a side strop now and then, or when someones watching:thumbup1:

 

IMO you need to be more careful when using both ends of a rope never mind using two! Although tbh I haven't ever seen anyone using two ropes.

 

Welcome btw:thumbup1:

I was taught to use both ends of the rope when climbing, then once the anchor point was in move around on that one rope. Instructor then showed me the use of a side strop instead of using both ends of the rope which i find easier myself.

I use two ropes on big trees [one long one short) with side strop, one rope with side strop on smaller trees.

 

With regards to the web site IMO it wouldn't encourage me to contact you for a quote, it looks like you have copied and pasted from wikipedia. And get rid of the video that doesn't help your cause.

If the website is your main advert for your business, then it's not a bad idea to have someone proof read it before you unleash it on the world.

 

If you'd done that you wouldn't be advising people "Don't cutt your own tree's down", and nor would you be calling yourselves "tree surgeon's". Might seem like small things, but they stick out a mile and say a lot about your business!

 

I also didn't quite see where all the DIY tools and printer catridges etc in your "store" fitted in with your business??

Oh - and you have copied and pasted from Wikipedia - that's pretty poor style

i use one rope and a side strop. 2 ropes if its a big tree and want todouble crotch etc.

 

use both ends of rope is what everyone gets taught but you are better using 2 seperate ropes and putting them in rope bags if you like to climb like that.

 

adopt your own style as others have said

I find a single rope to get me in the crown is fine but use a 10m length of 13mm Yale spearmint and a swivel eye positioner for secondary/branch walks etc P.S. dont forget the stopper knot in the end to prevent the end of the rope whipping through the positioner causing a nice swing, trust me it hurts.

I Allways use a steel cored flipline when cutting.
