No matter how tight my TM, when using a large saw it will always pull down at the back. Shoulder harness is the answer, I have to make one.

I attended the rope splicing talk on the Friday which was very good but poorly attended IMO.I learnt some interesting facts about the crazy legislation regarding splice testing in Europe and also the incredible strength loss in rigging splices if set up incorrectly. One thing that could improve these talks would be to hold them away from the general hubub of the show, I know I'm getting on but I found it difficult to hear, clearly, the presentation.

Both my 020Ts have exhaust mods, one, my main saw ,also has polished inlet and outlet ports, the carbs are set slightly richer, I did not use a tacho I just tuned them by ear. They are very responsive, cut fast but are not really that loud.

Great to meet you Reg, the devices look the business, very well made, top quality welding and incredibly good value to buy compared to other lowering devices on the market.
-
Let me guess, you have a lightly used Hobbs for sale?
-
Thanks Reg, after using Rupe's GRCS I can see the great advantage of lifting branches away from their natural favour.
-
Nice one.
-
Reg, sorry if you have explained this before but can the device lift or is it just for putting tension on the rope?
-
Oh yeah I like it! I must remember to leave my check book at home on Friday.

Newer rope is just easier to splice, I have some old XTC that I had to give up on.

Quick descent with a hitch climber isn't cool...
High Scale replied to Stephen Blair's topic in Climbers talk
I would say a VT etc with or without a Hitchclimber, encourages you to always check that it's doing what it should do and that's a good thing. -
I have to go on a speed course in July, I was caught doing 40 in a 30 limit by a camera that I was perfectly aware of, I was just tired after a long family day at the coast. The course costs sixty quid but will save me 3 points. Funny though, the camera is near a number of quarries, a few years ago someone borrowed some blasting materials and blew the camera into orbit.

It is Cornwall mind, good wage down that way.

Yup, that's the way to treat people, you may find it a good idea to moan to them how hard you've got it as well.

I don't work Tuesdays, I look after my youngest boy which is work in it's self. Actually, I'm not working Thursday or Friday as I have no one to work with, shame.

Ha Rupe I would have loved to have seen your old boss go mental when you told him you were leaving. Good advice Rupe.

The third picture down, it was actually foaming at that location.

Chortle...West Country drought!

No, not really much epicormic growth which would suggest stress? The tree is actually privately owned the owner mows the grass himself and he is not aware of any compaction issues, there is a large semi submerged root but that shows no real sign of damage. Aeration and mulching is something I was thinking of proposing, they are, as you can imagine, very fond of the tree and I think they would be willing to take steps to potentially, save the tree. What kind of cost does Aeration and mulching incur?
-
No sign of mycelium, I had a quick root around.

Looked at this lovely Oak today, planted in 1897 and showing major die back and weeping from cracks low down on the tree which the wasps seem to be getting a kick out of, the tree is a focal point of the village and it would be a terrible shame to lose it. Any ideas my expert friends?
