You want caulk boots https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=caulk+boots+for+sale&safe=off&client=firefox-a&hs=kUa&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=Atr8UbS3MYrP0AWhioGACA&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=1366&bih=665#bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&fp=bbcb557e36c06fa7&q=caulk+boots&rls=org.mozilla:en-US%3Aofficial&sa=1&safe=off&tbm=isch

Repelling Mosquitos and other biting insects
Pete Mctree replied to Gardenmac's topic in General chat
Avon "skin so soft" works quite well for me -
Buy 2 bags ( different weights would be good ). This gives you the advantage of using the other end of your line if you get the 1st bag stuck
-
I can understand your train of thought. I know some people use "screamers" & I can see there benefits in a tight spot where a load cannot run & deceleration is required (bottom of the page) Miscellaneous Tree Rigging Slings

Looks good. How much would it increase weight by approximately ?
-
Does the tracked base on the chipper tilt or articulate to allow access & working on side hills & uneven terrain?
-
What do you do to cope? I'm drinking 4+ liters of water during the working day, slapping the suntan cream on & struggling. Due to corporate policy I have to wear type C clown trousers, so any helpful tips on surviving are welcome

When they run over you whilst first climbing in Oz, they are big enough to cause poo to fly down your leg though

Did we see you this morning with the red & white truck & matching tipper?

Hitch Hiker thread.

Petzl UK, as alot of the Rope access guys use them. You will have to google suppliers as don't know one off the top of my head -
Typical of decline in sorbus. We have alot of them as street trees & we see that all too often, along with the absence of enough roots to keep them stable. They seem to fair better planted in grassland on public open space & parks.

Take the chain & bar off too - loads of weight saved that way I'm glad people are getting more from there saws at last
-
Good job Josh:)
-
Only a few bits of crust, so 90% sawdust. I quite often pick through it between meals
-
You inspired me to have my quarterly clean out David. Guess I needed it
-
That is deffo an office beard Dave - no pie or sawdust residue & looks manicured. [ame] [/ame]

Entire Hotshot Fire Crew gone - terrible!
Pete Mctree replied to TimberCutterDartmoor's topic in The Lounge
I met hotshot & smoke jumpers in the US. They were serious professionals & this is such a tragic loss of the people who are willing to put themselves on the line, to save & help others -
You will get some good gains doing this to a 200t. You must richen up the High jet though, as you will run the saw lean otherwise. Just keep an eye on the plug colour

Common sense ain't that common

Cool - why the unusual cuts on the stem?

Don't you need to cuddle up to a unicender or something then -
Good job. If you clean all those stubs off you will find that the ropes run better (got snagged at 4.30ish) & it is much safer as you can fall & land on one all too easily.

My first whole tree dismantle, its a monster.
Pete Mctree replied to Tommy Hutchinson's topic in General chat
Good job well done -
I simply pointed out that it does not provide control. It does however help to prevent splitting with free grained species such as euc, ash, willow etc with head leaners. Euc hinges well, but does have a tendancy to split if you put too much load on the hinge wood.
-
The point of a dog tooth cut is to prevent splitting not control as you have to guess on required hinge size
