Cheers for all the replies, something to think about

extra front handlebar for still ms 261
Steve Bullman replied to ArborCareEffect's topic in Chainsaws
its called a wrap around handle...not sure its really needed on such a small saw though or if its even available. Someone will know -
Is 13mm rope just too thick
Steve Bullman replied to NickinMids's topic in SRT (Single Rope Technique)
absolutely pointless using 13mm for srt..not that I am an srt climber but I know that much! All the 3 ropes you mentioned are good -
I think its something like that......somehow the trees that have been regularly pollard for the past couple hundred years seem to cope though
-
this is sort of what i was thinking would be the case
-
Thanks for the advice Phedders, will look at those options
-
I always go back to the knuckle. I don't really understand the concept or point of leaving longer shoots, and think it looks ridiculous, not what a traditional pollard is all about at all

they do till they don't!

I broke one of those tape slings years ago negative rigging a not overly large piece of lime as it happens....they won't take as much as you think.
-
You certainly don't want them to take wraps around the trunk with that set up. Small pieces that they can comfortable let run a little by hand.
-
if theres no hurry probably not a lot bigger than I would hand throw down
-
If you go very small it should be fine
-
Its not the branches he is concerned about.
-
What size sling? if the wood is that small does it even need rigging?

I know there are a lot of budding photographers here so thought I would ask your advice. Looking to buy an slr camera as a gift, but have no idea on the jargon other than megapix count. Budget is around £300. Is this a realistic budget to get something decent in the slr range or would I simply be breaking into slr territory with a sub standard camera? Looking at jessops currently, any of these stand out to anyone? Digital SLR Cameras - Jessops

Can you post a pic of your setup please

Yep they are harmless, look scary though!!

I was once reducing a conifer hedge in a garden, the sort you climb in then walk through the middle. It was pretty tall, about the height of the upstairs windows. I had the urge to pee and couldn't be bothered to climb down so figured I could just per right where u was, nothing to clean on the inside of the hedge so didn't have to worry about pissing in stuff the groundsmen were handling. What I didn't take into account though was that it was a cold cold day and the second I started a cloud of steam appeared all around me. What with the guilty look on my face it would have been pretty obvious to anyone what I was doing

Sorry to hear he was a friend. I read about this yesterday. Wonder if there was more to the story? Unbelievable that someone would do something like that for such little reason
