A Brief Note to All

[eggsarascal]

It's not just a forum for arborists any more! It's a forum for all sort of folk. And better for it IMO. Anyone that takes anything off an open forum as gospel is foolish!

Well for one not being a tree person (I don't know the difference between an oak and a sycamore) I find all the threads and posts interesting. Yeah ok some may be wrong, but it soon gets rectified, and I think 99% of the time its always backed up with solid evidence.

 

I have been meaning to start a thread over what's the difference between single and double rope technique, but have felt I will sound very stupid in asking it. Maybe its the time to now.

 

The climbing side and felling side I'm not good at, however the repairs of any machines is always a good read and I think that the techs and non techs but have a go people make the maintenance side a very good read and I'm always learning about saws and there habits.

 

Overall its a top forum and always my first point of call on the net, the tab is always open on the iPad.

+1 same hear not a arb person but use saws but get so much info on other things to do with engines landscaping etc learnt a lot since joining and as above do not know a thing about all the different ropes and pulleys you guys use. be good to know a bit more just so i know what you are all talking about but since looking at what you guys do hate being up high but thinking of having a go with a trainer just to say i have climbed as it does look good being up in the canopy of a tree looking over a wood.

You don't need a trainer, you can just gleam it all from here....keep up

Natural selection

 

 

lets put MORE dodgy info out there, that way, we'll thin out the weaker, thicker, nomadic members of our community.

 

More work for the rest of us

If you asked you'd probably find someone who would be willing to spend some time with you running through the basics.

 

There are so many folks on here who make the time and effort to help others, with no motive other than share their own knowledge and understanding. I've only started fairly recently, but have learnt so much and received so much advice on some of the newer techniques and equipment.
