Great looking vehicle. I spent some time, quite a few years ago living in vehicles & around those that did. I have to say that yours is for sure one of the better ones. The attention to detail & careful planning have created an amazingly user friendly looking space. Have you addressed how you are going to secure cupboards, shelves & there contents for your moving. "Tying down" is an art I never did master

Selection depends on how you rig; Go big & catch half the tree - buy the Hobbs technical - GRCS - the back garden crane technical with the flexibility for 2 lines, take the big hits. lower rather than lift - Stein dual All 3 are exceptional & I would be happy with any of them
-
Choice depends on the level of training you & those on site have. It is all well & good having an Arb-Aid or similar on site, however the knowledge of how to use & when to use the blood-stoppers for example is critical, as misuse can be very damaging. We use the Arb-Aid kits, Israeli military bandages (with the tourniquet) & cellox.

I seem to remember it was done as a stunt, at a climbing demo

BOOM!!!! Now collect that cheque

good job. Do you usually work without spikes when wrecking trees?

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
