Not muddled, you just don’t understand what I’m saying. Read it again, and then again if you still don’t understand

Not really a case of that is it. I have half a tank in my truck. If I knew I was going to be travelling I’d probably have queued up with everyone else today just so I knew I had a full tank. As it is I don’t HAVE to travel, and have already told the missus we won’t be going anywhere further than a few miles away this weekend for whatever weekend activity we choose to do. Not everyone has that choice though

Pics would help, species is important

Busy that night Michael!

Public liability isn’t actually a legal requirement for starters, but very wise to have. And of course you’re never going to get any commercial customers if you dont have it. in the meantime if you want to go and fell a few trees in Mrs mugging garden without it then carry on. You will just he personally sued if you happen to fell a tree on someone’s head. Employers liability is a legal requirement on the other hand. If you have anyone under your supervision you need this

Hardly going to have a massive root system is it!

Paddle boardings something i've always fancied trying. I just bought a ready formed Niwaki tree at considerable expense. Going to buy some saplings soon and try making some from scratch. Was planning a thread as it happens.

If I recall you had it for a steal first time round? Hopefully the new rate is still reasonable all things considered.

Thats a new one on me!

It not just the diameter but the construction. Mountaineering rope is nylon and not designed to be used in a friction based climbing system. Hence the op described the system he was taught for emergency use. Prusiks just wouldn’t be used in nylon rope otherwise. -
what tree to choose as grow-your-own Armco?

That doesn’t really have any relevance here -

Steve Bullman replied to noco's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Bit judgemental without knowing the details. For example If my house was alongside a busy main road and my kids play area was adjacent to the road I certainly know whose lives would be the priority for me to protect -
Anyone happen to have any images of mold on wood chip piles I could have please?
-
Also that setup isn’t suitable for mountaineering rope

That’s another thread. Take it up with him there please rather than spilling it out into another one

Climbing trees in the rain: Dangerous, or just unpleasant?
Steve Bullman replied to Dee MacThomas's topic in Climbers talk
Most outfits will carry on in the rain but it’s not uncommon to pick and choose your jobs. Eucalyptus in particular is no fun at all to climb when wet so I wouldn’t blame them at all for opting for something easier. Danger aside, add in what could potentially go wrong in the way of collateral damage(greenhouses beneath etc)…sometimes it’s just not worth the agro -
This is by no means unique to arbtalk. You’ve just summed up the internet

Nothings going to grow a sturdy trunk anytime soon if it’s being regularly pruned. Trunks put on girth to support what’s above it. Poplar probably would have been a good bet, you just needed to let them grow without pruning till the trunks reached the required diameter -
Spend has nothing to do with anything. It’s the incoming vat that you effectively have to play with for 3 months at a time

And yet plenty of vat registered companies still manage to carry out domestic work

Science fact right there

There’s accountants and there’s accountants. Some are just good at maths and filling out forms, whilst some know how to play the game. Which is yours?

Irrationally angry some might say. you lost me on physician

You’re an angry little man aren’t you. Grow up and get over it, you’re cutting off your nose to spite your face
