looks like a k9 at first glance
-
Do you have any pictures?
-
What size is that loopie Frankie boy? Is it big enough to be used in conjunction with the 16mm line especially when larksfooted around such a tight radius?
-
I never found it detrimental being banned at AS
-
At that price you would have to have rigged it & chipped it solo.
-
Very good post Nigel. Information like this needs to be easily available. It gives the user a greater understanding of the processes and testing involved in certification
-
I agree. It does state, however that you should be qualified and competent
-
you can remove weight as you work your way up the tree. It's the rigging that could cause potential faliure
-
Hollies done now - only took 11 days:sneaky2: True I would climb it. But only because I'd pay to see Bob in a pair of thigh length waders:thumbup:
-
So I could bomb it out in huge lumps (trashing most targets) & ask for my flask to be sent up whilst they tidy up?
-
Stunning views. Nice vid
-
I will make a couple if I can't find any. The metal tips would be the awkward bit to fabricate
-
I have some trees to fell on some really steep ground in a few weeks. Does anyone know where I could purchase a springboard? The only time I have seen them used is in timbersports competitions.

Bear - Big fella & not quite a year old. Soft as anything unless you are an unwanted stranger or a cat
-
Have you all considered the difference between starting a cut one/two handed and finishing it one/two handed? In my mind it is critical to understand where & when the highest incidence of accidents occour
-
If a tree has deteriorated to such a point, where you feel you need to reduce weight in the structure, then the time taken to remove fluids etc from the limbs etc is time wasted? Surley in that time the condition of the structure will have deteriorated? Thus negating the effect
-
Nice to see you climbing again. You finished that job for John yet?
-
It's too old Thea. Throw it out & mix some new
-
Yes, a few times. Some trees are not fit to climb. Tree work is my living, I don't want it to be my demise.
-
it looks like a breather. if oil is leaking out i suspect there might be a partial blockage in the oil line
-
black & white photo's and from late 1800s onwards? perhaps a book called "this was logging" by Ralph andrews.
-
Not only are you rude in your refusal to answer a polite question, but your arrogance and self importance make discussion impossible. I see why Butch banned you from the treehouse. Shame I had a couple of valid points to discuss with you.
-
Good film. Did you have a youtube link to an old oregon felling video Dave?
-
Good point, but managing a device for that distance would be hard work.
-
good idea Pete. If you backed it up with a friction hitch below the device it would be very usable. Takes all the strain off your arms tending the rope into the device & managing the back-up. Same would apply if you used a fig 8 or similar device.
