i dont have the details, im just relaying a conversation i had with a friend couple nights back. Next year (i believe) anyone with a pre euro3 engine will have to pay a £200 fee to use their lorry within the M25. can someone fill in the blanks? I would imagine this will affect a lot of companies based around London as they do seem to run more 7.5t trucks than your average tree co's

i just spoke to barchams and the course is booked up...they are looking at maybe another date in the future.
-
i'd say that depends on who's climbing
-
Ok, what we're looking for here is a kind of guidline, what an employer, or a groundsman might be looking for out of their climber. lets see what we can come up with and compile a list...i'll go first... 1. A climber should discuss their plan of action before entering the tree, letting the groundy know exactly what he'll be requiring and agreeing on any signals/comms, and should also be receptive to any suggestions made by the groundstaff if it leads to a more efficient overall procedure.

Just a quick update.....just waiting on one set of results to come through.....will post the results the second i have them!! -
£350 minimum......for me the price goes up according to the technicality of the job in question. you said you're always busy...at £250 im not surprised!! my advice.....charge £400 a day, work 3 days a week instead of 5 for the same money...any extras a bonus!

welcome alex

i might well be at that seminar colin, its only just down the road from me assuming its based at ely
-
i was referring more to regularly checking my krabs during the climb
-
colin.....it would be appreciated if as well as the photographer you could mention the source, arbtalk.

it wasnt too hard to get the saw out....it just wouldnt cut and no i dont know him
-
Tony. the saw went back in the cut easily vduben.....the wood was pretty straight...id have expected strange forces at work if the wood had been all twisted

think yourself lucky he only used his hand to hide his face!

wheres it going to be held?

I was doing some work on a Pine today....not 100% sure but I believe it may have been an Austrian pine. when cutting wood of 12" in diameter and larger the wood kept compressing as i was cutting. this always happened about one third of the way into the cut at which point i wouldnt be able to cut anymore and would need to take the saw from the cut. once i did this and returned the saw to carry on cutting it was fine.....almost like the initial cut had released the compression. Im not overly experienced on pines as the majority of my work is on Beech. I'd be interested to know exactly what causes this?

welcome craig, see you made it at last!
-
they are worth their weight in gold.....the single best investment ive made in climbing gear in the past 2 years. they do get stuck like any cambium saver...you gotta be picky with your placement. if im in doubt i'll normally retrieve it half way down and re-anchor so i dont have to go all the way back up should it get stuck. but the way i see it, in the meantime it makes my climbing 100% more enjoyable, if i have to go up the odd time to retreive it so be it
-
quite often wood cracks like that during the takedown procedure....particularly noticeable with sycamores, you can usually hear them crack and open up whilst ringing down
