hmm my only concern looking at some of these setups is that as we all know camb savers can be fickle items and hands up even with standard set up it has managed to get stuck up the tree in a tight crotch or such like and with the added size of a krab or pulley on the end raises the chances of this happening or is it just me being a muppet?
-
bowline in all its variations depending on the job/rope position have used truckers hitch for pulling trunks over with root bowls attached etc lol but always place krabs on the friction parts

myself 1 within Arb .thankfully underweight and tank dip just was an old k reg transit with brush on back but was mentioned it should be sheeted/netted 3 times as a lgv driver again all stisfactory apart from minor items (side light gone ,curtain side hook broken and flapping etc)
-
sounds about right as the saw warms up so does the carb and when it is warm/hot the fuel in the carb will evaporate quicker and if running lean on the bottom end this will cause poor starting. if you wish to play with the settings do it 1/8th of a turn at a time ( to make it leaner(less fuel) you go inwards to make it richer (more fuel ) outwards

Two tall trees, a birch and a beech, are growing in the woods. A small tree begins to grow between them, and the beech says to the birch, "Is that a son of a beech or a son of a birch?" The birch says he cannot tell. Just then a woodpecker lands on the sapling. The birch says, "Woodpecker, you are a tree expert. Can you tell if that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch?" The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree. He replies, "It is neither a son of a beech nor a son of a birch. It is, however, the best piece of ash I have ever put my pecker in."

lol nice one

As stated by other posters Facom Teng Sealey Snap On Britool mind you saying that one of the best screwdriver "bit"(ok lost a few bits but replaced ) sets i've ever used and still use after must be 11 years cost me £9.99 from Halfords i think ( not their range of pro tools just a shelf filler) Draper used to be good but in my opinion they have not really produced a decent quality tool for about 20 years .

TimR replied to vduben's topic in Climbers talk
put the rope in an old pillow case in the washing machine -
looking at the photo it may be down to the actual site as not sure but seems that all ones that are done have clear ground area but the ones left have a building between them so that may be a factor..
-
i would write to the graveyard manager ( i forget what they are called) and explain that in order for you to remove this down to ground level that it will require them to first of all obtain permission from the graves owners ( the relatives/etc not the ones in situ ) and then also explain that you will have to have the railings and the grave monuments that are visible removed by them so that you are not held responsible for any damage caused to those parts and as for getting it down low its going to be a case of cut and hope i suppose that there is no further obstructions inside the actual wood as im sure you know marble and chainsaws do not mix and is a sure fire way to kill a chain. .. hope this helps and do as you have done so already shed loads of photos of all aspects of surrounding damage is amazing how many "new" wobbly headstones are about after treework has been done lol

but she was not happy at the size of the bar she has seen them with bigger

think this really should be split to a seperate topic and this area kept for tree pics ......

nice dark quiet car park that contains such vehicle

just dont do this lol click me imo petrol is about the easiest way the tank cleaning products you can get are a nightmare to get rid of all the residue that can harm the engine oil tanks you can use a degreaser in with it and then run thinner oil as a clearout (motor oil etc ) oil through it to remove the degreaser residue .. air lines can damage the pumps / carbs internals if used to fiercely on them ( i know i will get the posts of i always use n air line etc but this is my opinion and if you dont like it

Friend who earlier on in the year sliced his hand open and damaged the tendons asked if i would do a job for him as he didnt think that he would be able to do it as he can climb a bit but still not right so i said yes the helpful fool i am asked him the job basically re pollarding a willow back to previous points only done 2 years ago ,customer wants it done their way .....what he failed to mention before i agreed and got therebwas that they wanted the ivy left intact:cussing:
-
think about it even if you priced it @ £100 per tree that would be £2300 so that i would suggest is your minimum especially if you have to reduce minimum of 87ft per tree remove brash clean up etc but as said without knowing the site or full details second hand pricing can be impossible ....
-
they aint anything new how about the old scammel scarab that also came as an artic version
-
i think after hearing of the one who paid £83k on children in need to see them i think he gave the right left and the dangly bit and the rights to even think of using them lol .... would have loved it but as you say watch the press ....... but if im sure it will still be expensive

getting faster in the tree comes with time and experience just concentrate on doing the job safely and as easily as possible dont think because jimbo is racing aound the stems like a primate on amphetamine that you can do the same or even HAVE to do the same . Work on your positioning and movement around the tree im sure there are lots of us who have tried to leap before we limb walk and regretted it in one way or another ( cuts ,bruises etc etc ) all because of trying to get the job done too quickly .... When have you got cs39 ?
-
if possible double wrap it \round the stem and even though it is not retriavable it provides a good firm anchor point on thin/ unavailable anchor point stems and seeing as its a dismantle no need to have the retrieve as you got nothing to cvlimb down onto . my cam saver is the 1.3 mtr one sometimes its too long but on jobs like that it has its benefits as being able to wrap it ...

:five:well done adam now comes the bit that they never teach you ... even though you have shown competence to do it you are always in school from now on as you will be learning every day..
-
will beat the hell out hitting a stone or a nail in the tree @ least it will pay for a new chain lol ... forgot also to add get well soon mattyF.
