  1. Hello bobarhyme, I was just around the corner from you on that day doing another council emergency, say hello to Foxy.
  2. Yes I agree.
  3. Of course, if you get good at throwing a rope you won't have to use such a retrieval tool.
  4. Great sales pitch.
  5. Really, why is that?
  6. MS 460 Magnum™ Chain Saws - Professional Use Chain Saw | STIHL
  7. Function of chain pitch?
  8. I will have to call them and find out the score with a refresher.

    Unless of course that's the wrong thing to do in which case I never do that,never ever.

    step cut

    I normally cut above the bore not below.
  11. Pitch & Gauge Explained
  12. Hello mate, you filled those loler places yet?

  13. Hello mate, you filled those places yet? I may do it as a refresher.

  14. Are you sure all the money raised last year went to the charity?
  15. Really? Sounds like BS! I am on Virgin cable, no problems the only issue I have is with this terrible Vista the Mrs has installed on this laptop. Can the cold effect a fibreoptic cable? Can cold effect light? If so does light from the sun slow down in the cold of space? I thought the speed of light was constant?
  16. I remember Zoe Ball blurting out the F- word Live on her morning show, how I laughed, Radio 4 though! You woudn't expect it.
  17. Wow, some serious gear, now I really need a Gazelle : AH-1 Military Helicopter and they have thirty to choose from.

    step cut

    Sorry I don't understand why you did that cut like that, the first pull, the tree was still holding? So you had to go back and plunge cut either side? I see no advantage and surely the result would have been the same with a normal type felling/falling cut? Also with a convential cut you could have smacked a couple of wedges in the tree for safetys sake. Maybe I missed something?
  19. I use either, a, branch from tree. b, lanyard doubled up and swung to retrieve main line.
  20. Interesting, a couple of years ago I found a friction saver hung high in a Oak, it was made with red webbing material, had a normal alloy ring on one end with this ring on the other, (Ignore the Marlow cord, it's now a dog collar) Is this one of the early friction savers?
  21. I was looking for this...An Improvement Notice has recently been issued on a company engaged in commercial forestry requiring refresher training for chainsaw operators. But I found the rigging research pdf instead, much more interesting.
