I hold internet seminars on thoughtless and repeated damage of stuff if you want to sign some of your lads up.

One of our lads, "wreck it Ralph", has definitely been on your seminar. Going by his hit rate you're extremely successful.

Don't suppose you include a module on leaving a 500i, erm, huh, mmmm, somewhere....

It’s a battle tbh, I am undoubtedly a bit careless, so knowing that, I try consciously to make sure I place stuff like ground saws under chippers where they cannot be run over by loaders.

 

Most tree sites are (to a certain extent) lunatic asylums with noise, shouting and stuff dropping, so I don’t really lose much sleep over little bits like this, it’s inconvenient and a few quid, it happens.

 

Stuff like ropes going through chippers, groundies wandering under a dropsite, careless placing of saws and reckless use of the loader really get my gander up, which is not a pretty sight.

It's the leaving stuff on site after we've left that annoys me most, and when it's discovered a saw is missing they're all "home with the kids now" so I usually get the pleasure of hunt the saw with a headtorch. Notably, they never forget about taking all their own climbing gear with them.

Yes, my current hired man is world class at that.

We left a rope in a tree once ( not on purpose ) . Went back to do another job for the customer about 6 months later and collected it then . 🙂

My favourite used to be my lid, put it down while on the rake at end of a job and leaving it behind.

Hand guard on husqvarna 3120 broke Thursday no one got one in stock and need saw next week. So plated it and filled hole on face were its lattice.
