  1. who is using these? I bought mine a few weeks back after seeing some in action. its already proved invaluble for pointing things out to customers that you'd otherwise spend forever trying to explain. and also they're dammed good fun! few pics, one reflected off my truck, one just shooting into the sky, and the one last one is reflecting off a tree approx 400 meters away. this ones a 100mh model
  2. cracking day in contrast to the rest of the week. got a few log orders out today and rounding up the day cutting the grass
  3. i try and avoid EVERYTHING during bank holidays
  4. the one of treesurfers i think we all liked best wont work for the headed as the trees too tall.....it will push the forums too far down the page by the time the banners and everything else are in place.....that will def go on the t-shirts though
  5. not sure. wanted to keep it simple. i personally like it
  6. haha...if i'd only known about treesurfers talents before I commissioned this other guy!!
  7. thats what the designer put on there, its just a copyright watermark
  8. i was reading an interesting thread at www.treebuzz.com that discussed using srt to gain a higher anchor point where the anchor point was questionable. run the srt line through a sling at a safe point on the trunk so if the highest anchor point fails you'll only fall to the next safety, much like lead climbing with quickdraws i suppose, or at least this is how i understood it. meanwhile you're working Ddrt off of the srt.
  9. so when is your first comp then;)
  10. haha cant say i felt the same, i enjoyed not doing tree work a couple days this week specially with the weather has it was!

  15. im referring to the long prussik used to secure yourself to the doubled ropes, not for a foot hold
  16. i'm taking another day off....i have plenty to do at home without working in this shi*e

  18. theres only one person you can rely on in business, i quickly learnt that....plough more of your own money into advertising and generate more of your own work...thats the route im going down now.

  20. i get depressed when topping a 200ft line of them!! i actually like the smell of leylandii. never heard of this though, where did u hear it?
  21. that pic was taken by a professional photograher. basically around about that time the company i was working for was having a brochure made up. there was a photographer coming out random days over the course of a few weeks, basically whenever he was in the area, taking photos. this particular job we had a platform on as the tree was very dead and parts were over a road so it made sense. as we were overmanned in the ground i got into the tree and starting knocking out some of the easier half of the tree whilst the photographer was in the bucket above me with the other cutter.
  22. that was a pff the shelf length split tail, pleated the end to take up the extra.....looking back ive no idea why i didnt just cut it to length
