  1. Thanks for that Steve, good pics makes it all the easier to understand
  2. Other end of the rope I have fallen out with, I now ask for a 2nd line. I am always aware of landing a branch on the loop of rope, did it once, hurt like hell!!
  3. Never tried the M-technique, I use a sling with a pulley on one end then a krab on the other. It is retrievable if you remeber to rig it right
  4. I have a vacany in Huddersfield for a groundsman/part time climber. Wages and employment specifics are variable depending on experiance and qualifications. Pm me for further information
  5. Fair size tree. Good work getting on the floor, looked a sweet job
  6. You would be fine for sheep Tim, thoasands of em, and they kiss well! Better than those welsh ones that Ed is always on about:D
  7. Would be nice Steve, I'm hiring at the moment;)
  8. Shame if it has. Some great threads should have been archived. Never my favorite place and I may not have agreed with the moderation, but it was still a valuable resource
  9. I'm not looking for staff with the looks of a pitbull licking piss of a thistle, with the charm to match, but thanks for the offer Andy
  10. your not going to turn this into a gruesome pics thread are you steve? lol
  11. I lack work, staff, charm and looks. Anyone help please:D
  12. fair enough matty, but when the stem hits the ground i will have expended less energy and the knot will be on the top of the stem:)
  13. Nice, I use the same method, especially on stems. The notch holds the rope in place and makes sure you get maximum leverage
  14. I agree with the issue of retying your TIP. That would really annoy me, but would be a nice setup for bigger/taller trees. I sometimes extend my setup with a dynema sling, not as flexible, or adjustable, but lighter on the kit as I carry one on my harness anyway
  15. I like both, but run 90% stihl now as that what my local dealer sells
  16. you can tell?
  17. Welcome Hugoagogogogogogogo!
  18. Get your kit out of there asap. Even if it has to be 4am this morning
  19. mmmmmm time to dust down the wrap around shades:cool: saves getting slapped for sure
  20. Well more rodies today. Thank god I've a proper tree to do tomorrow, I'm going bonkers doing this crap:eek:
  21. killing rodies all day, long drag but loveley customer. Makes all the difference
  22. just a random few
  23. keep em coming Tim, never too many
  24. Thats a fair size chesnut stem. All dismatled by crane?
