The marvellous chronicles of a man in a tree

[RobArb]

Seeing as a few other peeps have a thread of there own, i thought i'd have meself one of them:thumbup:

 

It'll be pictures, video and ramblings of day to day life and a small window to my world:biggrin:

 

 

 

 

To start, I've just bought myself a Drift HD and this is the first video edit i've ever done. Tis only a reduction an a medium Lime tree but it was the only decent job we had that week that i could really video:lol:

 

Anyway, watch (and hopefully enjoy) in 1080p:001_smile:

Sorry Nick, thought i had made it possible on mobiles?

 

Yeh Paul, Silky was brand new that day:thumbup: Like a knife through butter it was, and especially on Lime. Rarely take a saw up with me on pruning jobs any more, it just gets in the way:biggrin:

 

I just use a Hitch climber with VT, think my rope is yale xtc fire and hitch cord is OP 8mm, got it tied just right albeit with a little bit of sit-back. Tried the spiderjack for a week when i borrowed one but must admit i prefer my hitches:thumbup: (each to their own an all that.

 

Really wanna try SRT next, only used it once and that was for access, and that was well over a year ago...

Be some tension on them thar roots.

 

Bet it would go bang (with some serious force) if you'd get to sever them
