    Get a pair of woolpower socks. It won't matter what boots you are wearing then providing they are waterproof. These aren't cheap but are durable. I have a couple pairs that I reckon must be 8 years old now and are still intact....obviously they don't get used every day of the year though! Woolpower Socks | Woolpower | Our Brands | Outwear WWW.OUTWEARLTD.CO.UK Woolpower Socks made from merino wool in Ulfrotte Original 200g to 800g and LITE ranges, keeping your feet in the best shape possible. Warm and dry.

    Well you're not a million miles away from me. Providing you can get more than 1 tree for me to test i'd be more than happy to travel.

    Thats why I made sure I got out today!

    Picus will pick up the decay at the level the sensors are inserted. The problem in this particular case was that the ground level one side of the tree was a lot lower than the other, and as the test has to done level(or reasonably so) it means the sensors werent as low down on one side of the tree as I would have liked. So yes, the Picus in this case cannot be relied on entirely as the decay below this point will undoubtedly be worse. Its a case of assessing what we have found and making a plan based on the liklihood of there being more decay. In this case being roadside we will err on the side of caution. Substantial sized tree though, and I don't think its going to be toppling over just yet!

    Out and about for a couple of Picus tests today, good to get out of the office and it was a lush day. This Oak was had a bunch of Ganoderma brackets around the base, and 1 other than I haven't been able to identify. Surprisingly small amount of decay present though. Lots of dieback one side of the crown only. No obvious reason why. .DS_Store

    Haven't seen one of those strops for a while, you old dinosaur ? Thats still one of the best rope grabs on the market though even after all these years. I don't think that designs changed in 25 years?

    All good. Like the rabbit, don't seem to see many of them.

    I've used a spud ported saw, its noticeable, more so the pitch. Anyone with a trained ear I reckon would know if a saw was ported.
  13. Steve Bullman
    You've been doing it for nearly 10 years and you only just mention it now?
  14. Steve Bullman
    clark cut and climb is in a league of its own. Too warm for summer, but a god send in the winter, acts as much as a wind beater as it does a waterproof.
  15. Steve Bullman
    Agreed. And less tits
  16. Steve Bullman
    Don't they say that every single year?
  17. Steve Bullman
    Tried a listing in the tip site directory?
  18. Steve Bullman
    Wow, that sounds a bit harsh. Was on site when similar incident happened. We were felling self set Sycamore trees from the central reservation. Nothing overly large, perhaps 10-12" diameter stems. We had been flopping them over the safety barrier all day long, then one of the final trees came down, must have caught the barrier just wrong and knocked it off, as well as peeling it off the posts for 20meters either side. Bill for that came in at £2500 if I remember correctly. Thankfully it wasn't be that was responsible!!

    Just to update, been a few months since this was launched and we are starting to get a good bit of traction in google. Hopefully some of these links are generating into leads. However, theres still large parts of the country that have no listings so a lot of these people searching are quite likely not finding a contractor. If you run a sawmilling business it might be worth checking to see if your area has been covered already Sawmill Directory | Find A Sawmill Near You | Sawmillers UK SAWMILLERS.CO.UK Sawmill finder for the UK market. Find a company in your area. A directory of static and mobile sawmill businesses offering professional milling.

    A ported saw is quite noticably louder!

    Oil tank doesn't appear particularly old, but that would also by my first cause of concern...the trees obviously struggling. Some sort of bund lining would be a good start if its found to be the culprit.

    If you''re doing any amount of work with them then you can't beat the felco with the swivelling handle, they are worth the money. I've had several different types in the past though, some of the best being Corona. Corona Secateur 1/2 - Pruning from Gustharts UK WWW.GUSTHARTS.COM Buy Corona by Corona Secateur 1/2 from our Pruning range - @ Gustharts Nice idea with the hook though
