There is a practical half-way between the two extremes. I'll call it "good practice" Stay tied in at all times - twice if your behaving yourself. Even though you don't do the paper-work, look after your kit & inspect it on a regular basis. Limit 1 handed saw use & cut & holding. When done, done with care - plus try & use slings on bigger bits as it protects your elbows Save all your MEWP jobs up & try & do them in a day etc Not what many want to hear but it's that sadly lacking common sense application. It's a hard industry that required physical & mental toughness & the essential use of grey matter.

No. Same job, just spending longer wearing hi-viz. I hate the cheap ones as Velcro never stays shut. I have some with a zip at the moment - a big improvement but always looking to get a more substantial one as opposed to disposable ones currently used

How do you estimate the tax you are going to pay?

Bailey's - Oregon Surveyors Safety Vest Does anyone selll these or anything comparable here in the UK?
-
Unless your milling, do you really need a massive saw that, although looking pretty on the shelf, will try & kick your butt everytime you use one? 66 or 395 depending will fell 99.9% of trees here in the UK

Dual port muffler is available from any good stihl dealer. It is a production part
-
Not tried it with a large line to be honest. 1/2 inch max
-
It does work very well Rich.
-
When assessed did every saw have a new sprocket chain & bar. Bad sharpening & wear of the others will give erroneous results
-
rec climbing does not require the same speed functionality of kit used commercially
-
It's only slipping in one place?
-
Can you put an extra wrap on your prussic? It probably will solve the problem Sometimes when cordage is new it can be a little slippy
-
Something to ponder - Get a really long rope, cut it into 2. Then, whilst using your new 2 rope system, pretend your using both ends of the same rope. Win, win situation with a massively reduced chance of hurting yourself!!!!

Not Bob's gig. Planning has there own idiots

Can you repollard (in this case re-coppice) without consent?

Junkie scum are often the universal commonality joining nations.

Pop-up piston & port work looks great. Be nice to see the gains from all that hard work. Would it not have been easier to buy a Stihl instead
-
Look OK for the money - not sure about the colour.....
-
Link to the jacket?
-
I think it came from srt access. The inability/difficulty of descending due to gear limitations made other avenues be explored. Not relevant for working IMO.
-
Nice work. Was there a reason for your back-cut being so high when you felled the stem?
-
When rigging, a length of rigging line can often be more effective than a sling as it is more adjustable in length, but not as easy to carry. Who uses there slings for life support & rigging?

The GRCS has recently been upgraded. The harken winch has been lengthened to allow more wraps with larger cordage diameters & the fairlead has been fabricated from metal by all accounts.
