  1. Well, needs must and all that, but i dont like doing it myself. Bend radius, shock loading biners, blah blah blah! Know what you mean about pulleys with legs though!
  2. Are you redirecting the lowering rope through a biner in pics 4-10? Nice pics btw, great website material.
  3. Nice photos Tony, got a severe case of leylandiitis at the mo, I'll have to get down there for some R&R!
  4. Crap work, crap programme.
  5. As long as your boots are clean!
  6. Better than the current model falthiemer imo. Only time will tell as to durability, but out of the bag i would rather have the stein.
  7. I'll be hot on your heels for 17th place Tony!
  8. I prune beech trees whenever someone offers large bundles of used £20 notes with non-sequential serial numbers. I would be interested to know why I shouldnt though...
  9. :hahaha::hahaha: No, your right. I have one, its excellent.
  10. I'm sure Dean can trump that. My brother and I set fire to a gas main in my parents kitchen once. I'm sure Dean can trump that too.
  11. Old willow pollard, well decayed but still growing strong.
  12. a semi fallen willow across a footpath, with FBs. Pleurotus?
  13. Another Daldinia?
  14. Some pics I took today in grantchester. A stately old ash. The fruiting bodies are on a fallen limb.
  15. They say that the day you buy your boat is the second happiest day of your life. The first most happy day is when you sell it again.....
  16. Haix Trekker mountain are about the best I have tried, although I learned to footlock in the old brown tractor tread stihls, so anything is an improvement really.
  17. Keeping woodchip clean isnt hard, and its pretty easy to sell regardless of moisture content. I dont think any domestic clients are going to put up with a flaming trailer parked on their drive, or on the road outside their house. The first time you set fire to a phone line you will probably wish you have the timberwolf instead. You could buy a reasonable secondhand chipper, even something other than a timberwolf if you detest them that much, for £5K, and have a useful machine for all your work, rather than something you can only use on a handful of jobs. On the other hand, you could just load up the trailer with brash, and stack it in your yard to deal with later. Obviously i should point out that burning it once transported would be illegal.
  18. You know Dave, if you took the bucket off and put a hook and or grapple on the boom, they are remarkably similar to your setup!
  19. You obviously havent seen my 100mm double braid lowering rope then. Seriously though, thats pretty impressive.
  20. Dicotelydon? Or my local kebab shop, I seem to get two small leaflets from them most weeks.
  21. Ah yes, thus keeping everything snug and shipshape. I like the cut of your jib sir!
  22. Not even something in the region of a 3/4 or 4/4 vt? I would be tempted to try the new ropeman or a microcender. The point is eliminating the chest harness.
  23. I hardle ever use the lever on my cinch, and it can be used left or right handed. Cinch with 10mm line is my preferred lanyard, wire core with vt on the few occasions i actually use a wirecore.
  24. You do realise that the person to whom that remark is addressed is not even a member on here, and is therefore extremely unlikely to ever read it? Seems like you are being rude to people just for the sake of it.
